• Apply Lean, Six Sigma, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and data analytics to improve process capability, yield, throughput, and cycle time.
• Develop KPIs, analyze production trends, and use data‑driven insights to identify improvement opportunities and support decision‑making.
• Conduct FMEAs, risk assessments, capacity planning, and production flow analysis to identify and mitigate manufacturing risks.
• Utilize tools such as FlexSim to model production flow, identify bottlenecks, optimize facility layout and material movement, and support future‑state factory planning.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• 5+ years of industrial engineering or manufacturing experience in a relevant production environment.
• Proven experience implementing process improvements and structured problem‑solving methodologies such as Six Sigma and RCCA.
• Experience with Lean manufacturing, SPC, process capability, data analytics, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar tools.
• Experience with production planning, process optimization, capacity analysis, or manufacturing flow improvement.
• U.S. Citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government‑issued security clearance.
• Experience with metal additive manufacturing, post‑processing, NPI, and/or discrete event simulation tools such as FlexSim is highly preferred
• Willingness to travel up to 15% are a plus.
