Industrial Manufacturing Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• Create entire aerospace battery production line where none currently exists.
• Study, analyze, and design procedures, processes, layouts, fixtures, and tooling to support process efficiency and product quality.
• Identify and recommend resolutions for new and existing or imminent manufacturing problems, equipment failures, or safety issues.
• Recommend cost reduction initiatives and manufacturing process improvements.
• Participate in customer-facing meetings to provide engineering updates and manage technical expectations.
• Cook up coordination with support groups to ensure manufacturability; process capabilities and capacities are developed to support product integration.
• Develop, monitor, and report on project schedules and establish Standard Operating Procedures for new and updated manufacturing equipment and systems.
• Collaborate with quality, production, and engineering teams to troubleshoot production and equipment issues.
• Work closely with facilities function on layout, installation, and operation of production cells.

Key Must Have’s

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering
• Knowledge of CAD (CATIA) a plus
• Proven ability to create an entire manufacturing or production line from scratch, ideally in aerospace, batteries, or other high-reliability industries.
• Experience defining layouts, workflows, tooling, fixtures, and process architecture.
• Strong capability to study, analyze, and design manufacturing processes for efficiency, quality, and repeatability.
• Skilled in developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and process documentation.
• Ability to identify, diagnose, and resolve manufacturing, equipment, and safety issues.
• Experience leading source selection, evaluation, and procurement of production equipment.
• Ability to collaborate with facilities teams on installation, commissioning, and optimization of production cells.
• Demonstrated success working with quality, production, engineering, and facilities teams to ensure manufacturability and smooth integration.
• Ability to participate in customer-facing technical discussions and manage expectations.
• Ability to develop, track, and report on project schedules for manufacturing readiness.
• Experience coordinating process capability, capacity planning, and integration timelines.
• Strong background in lean manufacturing, cost-reduction initiatives, and process improvement methodologies.
• Ability to recommend and implement improvements that enhance throughput, quality, and safety.
• Hands-on ability to troubleshoot production issues, equipment failures, and process bottlenecks.
• Strong analytical skills to anticipate and mitigate imminent manufacturing risks.
