## About the role

There was a time when all of America believed that the future of the physical world could be radically different. The engineers of the mid-1900s put a man on the moon in eight years, designed and built planes and submarines from scratch in under three, and conceived of building things we wouldn’t even be able to dream up today.

## What they're looking for

- Be the first call when production stalls, whether the cause is a process, a machine, a material, a supplier or a system
- Get to root cause with structured methods (5 Whys, fishbone, FMEA) and put fixes in place that hold, not workarounds
- Track recurring issues, rework and downtime, and close out the patterns behind them
- Map workflows, find bottlenecks and failure points, and redesign them to handle more volume and headcount
- Own and improve our internal ERP: fix data errors, broken workflows and missing fields, working with software engineering
- Build what the ERP is missing, starting with EH&S: hazardous material flags, SDS records, supplier certifications and training records, so materials are traceable from purchase to disposal
