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.

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., FlexSim) 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 (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued 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., FlexSim) to support production planning, layout optimization, and throughput analysis
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) in a production environment
• Ability to travel (

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
