Senior Industrial Engineer

Role Overview The Senior Industrial Engineer will lead the development, optimization, and industrialization of additive manufacturing, machining, and post-processing operations. This role is critical in transforming complex, prototype-driven workflows into stable, scalable, and capable production systems. You will work cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Quality, and EH&S to drive process capability, improve throughput, and ensure safe, cost-effective production of metal additive components.

This role will also leverage data analytics and simulation tools to design, validate, and optimize manufacturing systems.

What You'll Do

Own and scale manufacturing processes across additive, machining, and post-processing to enable repeatable, high-quality production Lead process industrialization efforts, transitioning new products from development into full-rate production Drive root cause corrective action (RCCA) for production and quality issues, ensuring sustainable solutions Develop and implement process controls, standard work, and work instructions for critical operations (e.

g., de-powdering, machining setup, inspection, shipping prep) Apply Lean, Six Sigma, and statistical methods (SPC) to improve process capability, yield, and cycle time Partner with Quality to define acceptance criteria and inspection strategies for additive components Lead data-driven decision making through KPI development, performance tracking, and trend analysis Conduct FMEA and risk assessments to proactively mitigate manufacturing risks Evaluate and optimize production flow, layout, and material movement within the facility Develop and utilize discrete event simulation models (e.

g., Flex. Sim) to evaluate production flow, identify bottlenecks, and support capacity planning and future-state factory design Support capacity planning and production scaling efforts You have... Bachelor’s degree in Industrial engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related Engineering field 5+ years of industrial engineering or manufacturing experience in a relevant industry Strong experience in structured problem solving (Six Sigma, RCCA, etc.)

Demonstrated success implementing process improvements in production environments Experience with CAD tools (Solid. Works, AutoCAD, or similar) The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issues security clearance is required. U.S. Citizenship is required, as only U.S. Citizens are eligible for a security clearance Nice to have...

Master’s degree in Engineering or related field Hands-on experience with metal additive manufacturing (L-PBF, Binder Jet, SLA) Experience in post-processing of additive parts (heat treat, machining, finishing, inspection) Strong background in Statistical Process Control (SPC) and data analytics Experience with discrete event simulation and factory modeling tools (e.

g., Flex. Sim) to support production planning, layout optimization, and throughput analysis Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) in a production environment Ability to travel (<15%) Interpersonal Skills Strong ownership mindset with ability to lead initiatives end-to-end Hands-on, “go to the floor” approach to problem solving Excellent communication skills across technical and operational teams Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment Structured, methodical thinker with strong attention to detail If this sounds like you, please submit an application with your resume.
