Job description

Job Description

*** US citizenship required per government contract. (dual citizenship is not permitted). A completed US DOD clearance investigation and current, active eligibility is required to perform on this contract and therefore is required to be considered for a position.

Main Sail LLC seeks Industrial Engineers to support the application of Digital Twin technology within a multi-year, large, complex Naval shipyard infrastructure optimization program. The Naval Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program Office (SIOP), PMS-555, established in June 2018, is working to recapitalize and modernize the infrastructure at the four public nuclear shipyards to include dry dock repairs, restoring needed shipyard facilities and optimizing their placement, and replacing aging and deteriorating capital equipment.

Industrial Engineers are embedded in the shipyard back shops to work on site daily to ensure consistency of data and collaboration with the shop management and personnel. The IE team is supplemented by Naval shipyard government industrial engineers who work under the oversight and guidance of the contract IE team.

Responsibilities

• Map existing shop processes associated with all fabrication, repair and overhaul activities conducted within the shop.
• Initial mapping uses a modified Delphi method to establish process flow and process times via interviews and surveys with shop management and subject matter experts.
• Establish a data collection strategy and forms used by shop personnel to track and record process information and touch/delay times for each process step actually incurred as work is conducted.
• Oversee the data collection by shop personnel and ensure consistency and completeness in the data.
• IEs help with data analysis and support of the modeling team as they model and refine the existing processes in Plant Simulation.
• Once data is collected and the modeling team has completed a model of the process and/or the shop floor, the IEs work with shipyard SMEs, team engineers, and modelers to optimize the processes and shop layouts through process improvements, recommended replacement equipment and recommended new technologies.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering or a related field (e.g., Systems, Mechanical, Chemical or Nuclear Engineering).
• Experience supporting industrial/manufacturing/systems process flow data collection and analysis is a plus.
• Detailed-oriented, self-driven, able to work well within a team that supports a fluid, dynamic environment.
• Ability to think independently with minimal oversight, as well as demonstrate exceptional written and oral communication skills.
• Exemplary customer/client management skills and techniques.
• Experience with Naval Shipyard processes and systems is a plus, but not essential.
• Experience using Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to model large scale manufacturing, logistics and maintenance processes is a plus, but not essential.
