About the role

requirements

for large-scale assembly, handling, and test equipment; own the business case and capex justification; and manage vendor selection, build, install, and qualification through to production readiness

  • ✓Own the production-health metrics and KPIs (cycle time, throughput, capacity, utilization, first-pass yield, quality) and build the tools and reports that communicate line health to Manufacturing leads and across the org
  • ✓Model and simulate operations (e.g., Siemens Plant/Process Simulation) to test layout and capacity scenarios before committing capital and floor space
  • ✓Identify bottlenecks and constraints — layout, part shortages, staffing, tooling — flag them to the right owners across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Quality, and drive resolution so decision-makers have clear clear-to-build, cut-in, and buy signals

Required qualifications

  • ✓5+ years in a low-rate, high-mix manufacturing or supply-chain role building complex electro-mechanical assemblies, with heavy reliance on data
  • ✓Experience managing large capex budgets — specifying, sourcing, and commissioning manufacturing / test equipment for heavy complex assemblies
  • ✓Proven line/facility design: value stream mapping, continuous/one-piece flow, and workstation design
  • ✓Deep material-flow expertise: pull systems, Kanban, min/max, part presentation, lineside racking and packaging
  • ✓Experience modeling operations in production simulation software (Siemens Plant Simulation / Process Simulation)
  • ✓Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a value chain, coordinating internal and external parties to hit on-time, on-quality deliveries
  • ✓Working knowledge of an MES and an ERP (Oracle or equivalent)
  • ✓Grounding in Lean Manufacturing principles and implementation
  • ✓Able to read technical documentation (drawings, vendor schematics, CAD) and understand hardware processes across electronics and mechanical structures
  • ✓Bias toward speed and accuracy and a willingness to take on responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations
  • ✓Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred qualifications

  • ✓Bachelor's or higher in Industrial, Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Computer Engineering
  • ✓Hands-on design of tooling, fixtures, or GSE (ground support equipment) for heavy or large-format hardware
  • ✓Proficiency in CAD drafting (AutoCAD a plus)
  • ✓SQL experience — querying and storing manufacturing/inventory metrics
  • ✓Additional simulation tools (Simio, or broader Siemens Tecnomatix suite)
  • ✓Experience in a marine, subsea, or other regulated/harsh-environment hardware program
