Summary

Reporting to the Industrialization Engineering Manager, the Industrial Engineer supports the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes and production systems for new and existing processes. This position applies industrial and manufacturing engineering principles to process design, manufacturability, tooling, equipment, production capacity, labor requirements, facility layouts, material flow, ergonomics, quality planning, and operational performance. Working with Process Engineering, Operations, Quality, Design Engineering, Supply Chain, and Program Management, the engineer helps establish safe, repeatable, efficient, and scalable manufacturing processes from product development through stable serial production.

Position Mission

The mission of the Industrial Engineer is to translate product and program requirements into practical, data-driven manufacturing processes that achieve safety, quality, cost, delivery, and production-rate objectives. The position supports industrialization and manufacturing transformation by improving manufacturability, defining production methods and tooling requirements, simplifying process flows, reducing lead time and work-in-process, improving labor and equipment utilization, and establishing standardized production practices.

Success requires ownership of assigned manufacturing processes and implementation of sustainable solutions that improve repeatability, capability, flexibility, and scalability.

Essential Functions

The Industrial Engineer develops and improves manufacturing processes, production methods, tooling concepts, equipment requirements, work instructions, labor standards, facility layouts, material flow, and industrial capacity. This position supports new-product industrialization by reviewing designs for manufacturability, developing process plans and production documentation, coordinating tooling and equipment implementation, conducting capacity and capability studies, supporting process qualification, and validating production readiness at required rates.

The engineer analyzes manufacturing data to identify constraints, variation, quality concerns, ergonomic risks, and improvement opportunities and works directly with Production to troubleshoot issues and implement corrective actions. The role also supports process controls, Lean improvements, capital projects, supplier coordination, mechanization, automation, and compliance with applicable engineering, quality, customer, and aerospace requirements.

Tasks

• Support the industrialization of new products and programs from early product definition through first builds, production launch, rate validation, and stable serial production.
• Review drawings, models, bills of material, specifications, and engineering changes to assess manufacturability, assembly requirements, production risks, and recurring-cost feasibility.
• Develop manufacturing process plans, routings, operation sequences, process flow diagrams, and value stream maps for new and existing products.
• Define requirements for production tooling, fixtures, molds, shop aids, inspection gauges, equipment, and workstations, and support their design, procurement, validation, and implementation.
• With Process Engineering, create and maintain work instructions, manufacturing plans, process specifications, visual aids, quality plans, inspection requirements, and…
