• Lead and implement continuous improvement initiatives using Lean principles and Industrial Engineering methods
• Develop and apply discrete event simulation or similar modeling techniques to evaluate production scenarios and optimize system performance
• Support production planning activities including capacity analysis, scheduling, and production rate optimization
• Partner with Manufacturing and Facilities Engineering to support production line design, layout, and workflow optimization
• Establish and monitor performance metrics related to cost, schedule, and throughput
• Collaborate cross-functionally across production, engineering, supply chain, and program teams
• Drive sustainable process improvements and ensure long-term adoption of solutions
• Provide occasional off-shift support to maintain production continuity

• Ability to develop and execute production ramp plans that increase rate while maintaining quality and efficiency
• Strong communication skills, including building and delivering presentations to leadership
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment
• Familiarity with new program introduction (NPI) or production launch processes
• Experience with Earned Value Management (EVMS), including S-Curves, SPI, and CPI analysis
• Experience applying continuous improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Value Stream Mapping, process mapping)
• Experience analyzing production data to identify issues and implement process improvements
• Experience with production planning, scheduling, capacity analysis, and throughput optimization
• Active Secret security clearance is highly preferred
