About The Position

The Sr Specialist, Manufacturing Engineering (Industrial Engineer) will support modeling and optimization of product flow through a complex rocket motor manufacturing facility. The role develops, validates, and maintains discrete-event simulation models representing manufacturing operations, material flow, equipment, labor, and production constraints. The position supports production scaling and delivers recommendations to help meet customer needs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree and at least 6 years of prior relevant experience; or a graduate degree and at least 4 years of prior related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 10 years of prior related experience.
• At least 1 year of Plant Simulation experience.
• Ability to obtain a government security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in aerospace, defense, propulsion, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
• Familiarity with rocket motor manufacturing or similarly complex production systems.
• Knowledge of capacity analysis, production scheduling, and continuous improvement methods.
• Experience with data analysis tools such as Excel, SQL, or Python.
• Demonstrated expertise with Siemens Plant Simulation.
• Experience developing simulation logic for complex product flow in manufacturing environments.
• Strong background in constraint identification, bottleneck analysis, and mitigation planning.
• Ability to analyze manufacturing data and translate model outputs into practical recommendations.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Siemens Plant Simulation models for complex manufacturing flow.
• Build simulation logic for product routing, resource utilization, material handling, queues, buffers, and process dependencies.
• Analyze simulation results to identify bottlenecks, capacity limitations, labor constraints, and work-in-process buildup.
• Recommend and evaluate mitigation actions, including staffing changes, equipment reallocation, buffer sizing, sequencing improvements, and capital investments.
• Perform what-if and trade study analyses to support production rate changes, facility improvements, and long-range capacity planning.
• Validate model performance using production data and collaborate with operations, engineering, and planning teams to deliver actionable recommendations.
