About the opportunity

XPI Corp is seeking a highly capable Industrial & Systems Engineer to work directly with the President across a diverse portfolio of businesses.

This is not a traditional manufacturing-based engineering role. The successful candidate will help design, improve, and implement the systems, processes, and operating disciplines that enable multiple businesses to perform more effectively.

The role would suit a recent Industrial Engineering or Industrial and Systems Engineering graduate who is intellectually curious, highly organized, and energized by solving complex operational problems. Previous professional experience is not essential. The ability to learn quickly, take ownership, and turn ambiguity into practical action is far more important.

You will examine how work is performed across different companies, identify where time, money, information, or effort is being lost, and develop practical systems that improve efficiency, communication, and execution.

Working closely with the President, you will move between strategic analysis and hands-on implementation. One assignment may involve redesigning a workflow or building a performance dashboard, while another may require visiting an operation, interviewing employees, or resolving a breakdown between departments. The role requires someone who does not stop at identifying a problem. You will be expected to find a solution, implement it, and confirm that it is delivering the intended result.

• Analyze operational systems, business processes, and procedures across multiple companies.
• Identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, duplication, communication gaps, and areas of avoidable cost.
• Design and implement practical systems that improve productivity, consistency, and accountability.
• Document workflows, operating procedures, and decision-making responsibilities.
• Standardize effective practices while recognizing that each business may require a different approach.

• Map end-to-end workflows and evaluate how people, information, materials, technology, and finances interact.
• Conduct time, motion, and capacity studies where appropriate.
• Review staffing, workload distribution, and resource utilization.
• Perform cost and performance analysis to support operational decisions.
• Assess whether existing systems and procedures are achieving their intended purpose.

• Establish meaningful performance measures and key performance indicators.
• Build simple reporting tools and dashboards that provide clear operational visibility.
• Track productivity, turnaround times, quality, downtime, costs, and other relevant measures.
• Monitor implemented changes and refine them based on results.

• Improve communication and information flow between departments, businesses, and external partners.
• Work with employees and leaders to understand operational challenges and develop workable solutions.
• Translate broad ideas from the President into structured plans, processes, and actions.
• Coordinate projects across different cultures, locations, and time zones.
• Present findings and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Take ownership of assigned operational problems from diagnosis through to resolution.
• Develop practical solutions rather than relying solely on theoretical analysis.
• Visit business locations when direct observation or intervention is required.
• Support the implementation of new tools, systems, procedures, and ways of working.
• Manage multiple assignments simultaneously in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment.

We are looking for someone who is:

• A recent graduate in early career in Industrial Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Operations Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• A rapid learner who can quickly understand unfamiliar businesses and operating environments.
• Highly organized, analytical, and attentive to detail.
• A creative and resourceful problem-solver.
• Comfortable working with limited structure and creating order from ambiguity.
• Able to move confidently between analysis, planning, and hands-on execution.
• Self-directed, dependable, and willing to take responsibility for outcomes.
• Comfortable working closely with a founder or entrepreneurial business leader.
• Able to communicate effectively with people from different professional and cultural backgrounds.
• Willing and able to travel domestically and internationally when required.
• Based in South Florida, preferably near West Palm Beach, Jupiter, or Delray Beach.

• Understanding of process mapping,…
