Industrial Engineering Manager 2

• →Build, develop, and mentor a high‑performing industrial engineering team supporting plant and production operations; set priorities, goals, and performance expectations for the group.
• →Provide strategic direction for analysis and design of operations, optimizing workflows and standards base development, and equipment layouts (VSM, line balancing, crew cycling, manufacturing execution/recovery planning, capacity/utilization) to improve efficiency, throughput, and bottleneck removal; review and approve major recommendations.
• →Own and govern methods and standards that maximize utilization of production facilities, equipment, and personnel (manpower planning, skill matrices, recovery scheduling, TPM/L2L concepts), ensuring consistent deployment across the site.
• →Sponsor and oversee studies in cost control, cost reduction, inventory control, quality improvement, and production record systems; ensure teams translate findings into practical, implemented solutions with measurable impact.
• →Champion continuous improvement initiatives, proven knowledge and success using lean tools (current and future state value stream mapping, Kaizen/AIW, 5S/POU, standard work, TPM, RCCA/defect analysis) and drive design for manufacturing improvements to remove roadblocks and ensure alignment with safety, schedule, cost, and quality objectives.
• →Set expectations and standardize use of CORE, Tableau, MES data, and simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim) to develop visual shop metrics (including uptime metrics for critical equipment) and drive data‑based decisions, manpower forecasting, and improvement roadmaps; steward the site’s capacity and utilization modeling capability.
• →Direct the development and implementation of operating method and facility changes; provide leadership to integrate accident‑prevention and safety improvements into all industrial engineering activities.
• →Lead cross‑functional workshops and training, ensuring standardized practices are adopted and sustained across manufacturing, facilities, safety, quality, and supply chain.
• →Provide guidance in defining the vision for manufacturing systems architectures; prioritize and sponsor system and workflow improvements that enable data‑driven decisions and shop‑systems maturity.

• →Provide management oversight of realistic scheduling and capacity-based site planning and capital-planning efforts (including data mining, ROI/risk justification, and business-case development), ensure effective application of earned-value management (CPI, SPI, TCPI) to monitor schedule and cost performance and support accurate ETC/EAC development, and guide the preparation of refined BOEs for proposals based on throughput, capacity, and capability analyses.
• →undefined
• →Provide management oversight to optimize delivery routes, packaging, and point-of-use logistics using lean solutions, and develop min/max inventory logic for parts consumption to support efficient, continuous material flow.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering or related STEM field plus 10 or more years of relevant industrial or manufacturing engineering experience. Will consider those with a master’s degree and 8 or more years of relevant industrial or manufacturing engineering experience.
• Demonstrated leadership experience
• Strong industrial engineering and operations background with demonstrated impact in manufacturing and production environments (standards development, workflow analysis, line balancing, layout optimization, simulation, statistical analysis, forecasting), and a track record of directing engineering or manufacturing teams, setting clear-concise priorities, and driving closure on actions.
• Proven ability to translate analytical results into practical, implemented improvements in production operations.
• Regularly applies ingenuity and creativity to resolve novel or high impact issues in manufacturing, cost, quality and safety performance.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical approaches, influence cross functional teams, and prioritize high impact improvements.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to interface effectively at all levels of the organization (i.e provides ongoing and immediate feedback, open sharing of information and knowledge)
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance, US citizenship is a pre-requisite

• Active Secret or higher clearance

• Experience in working in an aerospace manufacturing environment
