The Opportunity

Custom Manufacturing and Engineering, Inc. (CME) is seeking an Industrial Engineer with a strong analytical mindset and a passion for improving how work gets done. In this role, you will design, analyze, and optimize production systems, workflows, and processes to improve efficiency, quality, cost, and delivery performance across CME's manufacturing operations. You will work closely with engineering, quality, production, and supply chain to drive data driven continuous improvement while supporting CME's rigorous quality and compliance requirements.

This is a hands-on role that lives on the floor, not just in spreadsheets.

What You Will Do

• Analyze and optimize manufacturing workflows across production, test, SMT, and configuration management to improve throughput, efficiency, and on time delivery.
• Develop and maintain standard work, process maps, value stream maps, and work instructions to support repeatable, scalable production.
• Use statistical and analytical methods to identify and resolve process variation resulting in quality defects, bottlenecks, and waste, and lead improvement initiatives to reduce cycle time, rework, and cost.
• Support manufacturing optimization efforts through work cells, equipment, and material flow design.
• Partner with Quality to address process driven nonconformances through root cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions.
• Support MRB activity by analyzing recurring issues, identifying systemic drivers, and recommending process level solutions.
• Support First Article Inspection readiness by ensuring manufacturing processes, documentation, and controls are production-ready and repeatable.
• Apply and sustain Lean manufacturing principles including 5S, standard work, visual management, and continuous improvement events.
• Prepare data, reports, and dashboards on operational performance using Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Support third party audits and internal assessments related to AS9100 and ISO 9001 by ensuring processes are defined, followed, and continuously improved.
• Interpret specifications, drawings, routings, and bills of material to ensure manufacturing processes align with build to print requirements.
• Apply configuration management principles to ensure process changes are controlled, documented, and communicated.
