Job description

Location: Houston

Department: DEPTEC

The Industrial Engineer is responsible for supporting the successful transition of new products, technologies, processes, and manufacturing capabilities from design into production. This role partners closely with Product Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and other cross-functional teams to ensure products and manufacturing processes are ready for safe, efficient, repeatable, and scalable production.

The Indsutrial Engineer supports First-of-a-Kind (FOK) builds, manufacturing readiness, product launches, process validation, capacity planning, factory readiness, and continuous improvement activities. The role applies industrialization methodologies and manufacturing engineering principles to identify and resolve launch risks, establish production requirements, validate manufacturing processes, and support the development of scalable manufacturing capabilities.

The position may specialize in one of four primary areas of focus:

• Electrical Industrialization – Electrical product launches and manufacturing readiness
• Mechanical Industrialization – Mechanical product launches and process validation
• Factory & Capacity Industrialization – Factory growth, layouts, automation, and capacity planning
• Supply Chain & Vertical Integration Industrialization – Supply chain readiness and manufacturing strategy

The Industrialization Engineer is responsible for delivering assigned industrialization activities on schedule and escalating risks that could impact product, process, material, capacity, or manufacturing readiness.

What you will do?

• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) and transition products from design into manufacturing.
• Plan and execute First-of-a-Kind (FOK) builds and other product launch activities.
• Support Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR) and identify gaps required for production readiness.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing requirements, processes, BOMs, routings, and other production documentation.
• Partner with Product Engineering to ensure designs are manufacturable and production requirements are understood.
• Identify, track, and resolve manufacturing readiness risks throughout the product launch process.
• Support process validation and production qualification activities.
• Develop and implement manufacturing processes, tooling, fixtures, equipment, and work methods as applicable.
• Analyze capacity, labor, facility, equipment, material, and process requirements to support manufacturing scalability.
• Support factory layouts, process flow, automation, warehouse, and facility planning activities.
• Support Make vs. Buy, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), PFEP, supplier readiness, and vertical integration initiatives as applicable to assigned projects.
• Partner with Supply Chain to ensure material and supplier readiness for product launches.
• Develop and maintain project schedules, action plans, and launch deliverables.
• Use data and manufacturing analytics to identify opportunities to improve quality, cost, throughput, capacity, and productivity.
• Support standardization of industrialization processes and best practices across manufacturing facilities.
• Communicate project status, risks, issues, and recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Support continuous improvement of industrialization methodologies, tools, and launch processes.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Operations Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in Industrialization, Manufacturing Engineering, New Product Introduction (NPI), Operations Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical roles.
• Experience supporting manufacturing readiness, product launches, FOK builds, process validation, or transition from design to production.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, assembly operations, fabrication, electrical systems, engineered-to-order products, or industrial manufacturing environments.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams including Product Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and launch activities simultaneously.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to identify risks, develop solutions, and drive actions to completion.
• Data center, electrical equipment, modular construction, switchgear, controls, power systems, HVAC, cooling systems, or engineered-to-order manufacturing experience.
• Experience with First-of-a-Kind (FOK) builds and New Product Introduction (NPI).
• Experience with ERP systems, BOM structures, routings, manufacturing data, and capacity planning tools.
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Value Stream Mapping, process flow analysis, and manufacturing system design.
• Experience with automation, digital manufacturing, or Industry 4.0 initiatives.
