About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer with deep, hands-on experience in Deltek Costpoint, specifically MBOM development/management and MRP enablement/implementation. This role will lead cross-functional efforts to strengthen manufacturing execution, improve material planning accuracy, and scale operations while supporting core manufacturing engineering responsibilities.

Requirements

• 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in a production environment (aerospace/defense, complex electromechanical, or regulated manufacturing preferred)
• Significant Deltek Costpoint experience supporting manufacturing operations (not just user-level familiarity)
• Demonstrated success building and maintaining MBOMs in Costpoint and improving MBOM governance and accuracy
• Proven experience leading or materially contributing to MRP implementation / enablement / stabilization efforts
• Strong understanding of MRP fundamentals (lead times, lot sizing, safety stock, demand/supply netting, planning calendars)
• Experience with routings, work centers, and labor standards; ability to translate shop floor reality into system data
• Excellent cross-functional leadership skills and ability to drive alignment between Engineering, Planning, Supply Chain, and Production
• Strong documentation skills (SOPs, work instructions, training materials)
• U.S. Citizenship required. This position requires an active DOD security clearance or the ability to obtain such clearance within a reasonable time after commencement of employment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Costpoint configuration or enhancement projects, including integration points (PLM/ERP, MES, purchasing, inventory)
• Familiarity with engineering BOM to MBOM transformation processes and change control governance
• Lean / Six Sigma exposure (Green Belt or equivalent)
• Experience scaling operations (new facility/start-up line, capacity expansion, new product introduction)
• Ability to perform data analysis (Excel power user; ERP reporting; SQL a plus)

Responsibilities

• Serve as the manufacturing engineering lead for Costpoint MBOM structure development, governance, and ongoing maintenance
• Lead or co-lead MRP enablement/implementation activities, including process design, master data readiness, and go-live stabilization
• Define and enforce MBOM configuration standards (assemblies, phantoms, alternates, effectivity, make/buy, units of measure, lead times)
• Partner with Planning, Supply Chain, Programs, and Finance to improve MRP planning accuracy (demand, supply signals, safety stock, reorder policies)
• Troubleshoot MRP outcomes (exception messages, shortages, invalid supplies/demands) and drive root-cause corrective actions
• Support Costpoint data integrity for manufacturing: routings, work centers, run/setup times, scrap factors, yield, and lead times
• Develop training and SOPs for MBOM/MRP-related processes; coach users and stakeholders across functions
• Develop/optimize manufacturing processes for new and existing products (assembly, test, integration)
• Create and maintain work instructions, manufacturing plans, routers, and standard work
• Lead process improvement initiatives (yield, takt time, throughput, ergonomics, quality escapes)
• Support production with dispositioning, problem solving, and corrective actions
• Own tooling/fixture requirements and validation; ensure readiness for production scaling
• Collaborate with Quality Engineering on FAI, control plans, and process capability improvements
• Support DFM/DFA feedback to Engineering and participate in product change control (ECO/ECR)

Benefits

• comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
• employer matching 401(k) retirement plan
• paid time off including vacation, holidays, and sick leave (including ant state-mandated paid sick leave)
