Industrial Engineer, Senior

Orbitworks is seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer to lead the industrialization of our satellite products and build the production capability needed to deliver them at scale Based At our KEZAD facility in Abu Dhabi and reporting to the SVP of Operations you ll connect product design assembly and test methods infrastructure equipment workforce capability and material availability into a working industrial solution for a medium-mix medium-to-low-volume production environment You ll own the industrialization workstream end-to-end from product assessment and partner transfer through new product introduction NPI deployment production readiness ramp-up and handover while personally developing capacity models and industrial solutions and working hands‑on on the production floor This is a strategic hands‑on individual-contributor role you ll need strong technical judgment the ability to influence without formal authority and the persistence to see implementation through As the business grows scope can expand into broader portfolio ownership technical leadership and building out an industrialization team

• Own the industrialization strategy and integrated delivery plan translating product demand and business objectives into rate targets work packages owners milestones resources budget needs dependencies risks and acceptance criteria
• Work with Engineering D2M and AIT to define build sequence work breakdown routings assembly and test flows and manufacturing data needs driving design for manufacture assembly test access and repeatability
• Build version-controlled capacity models from execution data time studies engineering estimates and partner data and balance cells and workflows to the required production rate
• Develop layouts workstations material flow buffers WIP policies cleanroom zoning and kitting interfaces comparing fixed-station cellular parallel and flow approaches against product and rate constraints
• Define and deliver industrial asset work packages for ground support equipment test assets utilities and facility changes driving procurement installation commissioning and handover
• Lead the industrialization interface with external partners agreeing technical deliverables owners dates and acceptance criteria for product data methods tooling training and test interfaces
