Industrial Engineer, Production Controls & Simulation

Description:

• Develop and maintain discrete event simulation models of maritime manufacturing processes to support production planning and facility layout decisions.
• Build and operate critical chain project management models to drive production scheduling and resource leveling.
• Write scripts and build automated workflows to streamline production control tasks and improve planning throughput.
• Collaborate with manufacturing technology teams to validate simulation assumptions against physical reality and implement process improvements.
• Provide data-driven analysis to support capital equipment investments, make-vs-buy decisions, and capacity planning.
• Create visualizations and reports that help cross-functional teams understand factory behavior and make informed decisions.
• Identify production bottlenecks, resource conflicts, and capacity constraints before they affect operations.
• Translate analytical insights into actionable production control decisions for the factory.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of experience in simulation modeling, production planning, or industrial engineering.
• Foundational knowledge of discrete event simulation concepts and at least one DES platform such as FlexSim, Simio, AnyLogic, Arena, or equivalent.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate complex data into actionable insights.
• Willingness to integrate new technology into workflows by writing scripts, automating processes, and adopting new tools.
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools such as Python, Excel, or similar.
• Ability to work directly with manufacturing teams to implement process improvements based on simulation and analytical results.
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Master's degree or coursework emphasis in Operations Research, simulation, or optimization is preferred.
• Experience with critical chain project management concepts or tools such as Aurora from Stottler Henke, ProChain, or similar is preferred.
• Experience scripting or building automated workflows to support production planning or engineering processes is preferred.
• Familiarity with manufacturing environments such as shipyard, aerospace, defense, or advanced manufacturing is preferred.
• Programming skills in Python for custom analysis, automation, and integration are preferred.
• Knowledge of Lean manufacturing, Theory of Constraints, or Six Sigma methodologies is preferred.
• Experience with digital twin concepts or integration of simulation with production systems such as MES or ERP is preferred.
• Internship or project experience in factory layout, capacity planning, or production scheduling is preferred.
