Job Title: Specialist, Manufacturing Engineering (Industrial Engineer) – Plant Simulation Model SME

Job Code: 42602

Job Location: Camden, AR

Job Schedule: 4/10: Employees work 10 hours day, 4 days a week

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer with expertise in Plant Simulation to support modeling and optimization of product flow through a complex rocket motor manufacturing facility. This role will develop, validate, and maintain discrete-event simulation models that represent manufacturing operations, material flow, equipment, labor, and production constraints. We are scaling strategically with speed and precision, making this an exciting opportunity to join a team dedicated to delivering for our customers.

Essential Functions

• Develop and maintain Siemens Plant Simulation models for complex manufacturing flow
• Build logic for product routing, resource utilization, material handling, queues, buffers, and process dependencies
• Analyze simulation results to identify bottlenecks, capacity limitations, labor constraints, and WIP buildup
• Recommend and evaluate mitigation actions such as 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
• Ability to obtain a government security clearance

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree and minimum 4 years of prior industrial engineering or related experience. Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior industrial engineering or related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 8 years of prior industrial engineering or related experience.
• 1+ year of Plant Simulation experience.

Preferred Additional Skills

• 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
