Description

In this role, you will architect and optimize the production system for low-cost interceptor manufacturing, covering factory layout, line design, labor modeling, material flow, and capacity planning. You'll drive rate-scaling from pilot builds to high-rate production, implementing lean manufacturing and continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years experience in factory design, line design, or production system optimization
• Demonstrated experience building production rate models and conducting time studies and line balancing
• Working knowledge of lean manufacturing, value stream mapping, capacity planning, takt/cycle time calculations, and OEE measurement
• U.S. Citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain DoD clearance

Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end factory layouts optimized for flow, takt, and throughput
• Develop production rate models and multi-scenario capacity plans
• Identify capital equipment needs and develop ROI justifications for automation
• Drive lean manufacturing implementation: line balancing, waste reduction, flow optimization
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Supply Chain, Facilities, Quality, EHS) to align product design with factory constraints
