The Boeing Company
Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) seeks Experienced or Senior Industrial Engineers to plan, design, and optimize manufacturing systems across up-and-coming Proprietary programs in Berkeley, MO.
These roles focus on increasing production efficiency, capacity, and quality through line/cell design, takt and balance analysis, material flow, automation integration, ergonomics, and continuous improvement. Level 3 leads multi-cell/line programs and medium capital projects; Level 4 defines enterprise strategy, leads large capital and automation programs, and provides technical leadership across sites.
Position Responsibilities:
Level 3
Lead industrial engineering for multiple cells or full production lines; perform capacity modeling and long-range resource planning.
Drive medium capital investments and automation integrations (robotics, AGV/AMR, automated material handling) from concept through qualification.
Conduct advanced simulations (discrete-event, throughput, bottleneck analysis) to support layout and staffing decisions.
Lead cross-functional implementation teams for line introductions, production transfers, and product ramps.
Mentor and develop Level 1/2 engineers; lead supplier industrialization and on-site supplier readiness activities.
Lead complex root-cause/problem-solving (DMAIC, 8D) and validate robust corrective/preventive actions.
Level 4
Set industrial engineering strategy and standards for multiple programs or sites (automation roadmap, digital twin adoption, standard work governance).
Lead large capital and enterprise-level automation programs and facilities changes (high-rate lines, digital manufacturing deployment).
Provide executive-level analysis and recommendations on production risk, capacity investments, and program trade-offs.
Drive enterprise continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, Six Sigma) with measurable productivity and cost-to-produce results.
Coach and develop engineering leaders; establish cross-program best practices and technical standards.
Represent Boeing in supplier partnerships, industry collaborations, and customer/regulatory reviews related to manufacturing readiness.
