Position Description

Applies Industrial Engineering concepts, techniques, analysis and decision tools under general
supervision to promote and assist in implementing changes in manufacturing, engineering and service
operations. Assists / leads in developing models, data bases and spreadsheets to analyze data (e.g.,
statistics, operations research, engineering economics), and provides summary analysis and metrics
for consultation to customers (e.g., management, departments, suppliers). Applies general industrial
engineering techniques and concepts to product and process design teams throughout all phases of
product lifecycle, resulting in a robust product design and work statement that meets program
requirements. Assist in research, design, development, improvement and implementation of processes
to enhance schedule performance, lower cost, and improve quality, through the application of Lean
and other Industrial Engineering concepts for large scale systems integration and asset utilization.
Under general supervision, manages, defines, negotiates, and controls the scope, cost, and timing of
projects, and performs risk analysis using project management tools (e.g., work break-down
structure, precedence network, resource allocation). Provides support to project completion. Utilizes
engineering methods (e.g., mathematical models, simulation, statistics) to support the development
of optimal process designs and efficient utilization of resources (e.g., facilities, personnel, materials,
equipment) in the creation and validation of products. Under general direction, analyzes and designs
value stream, including capability, capacity (e.g., make/buy, supplier selection, risk analysis, supplier
performance), throughput, work flow and logistics (e.g., critical path, lead-time, transportation,
factory layout).

Competencies

General

• Communication
Generally clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Usually
keeps the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an
appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Frames the message in line with audience
experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful
to the audience. Generally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in
different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics
appropriate to the media being used. Accurately interprets messages from others and responds
appropriately.

• Negotiation
Generally explores all parties' needs, concerns, initial positions and builds common ground by
highlighting areas of agreement and working through areas of disagreement. Manages the
interpersonal process to stay focused on the task; constructively addresses emotions and conflict.
Engages in mutual problem solving by brainstorming alternative positions or approaches and
evaluating them openly and fairly. Builds value of preferred alternatives by relating them to other's
needs; responds to objections by emphasizing value. Tries to establish a win-win solution through a
give-and-take process.

Technical

• Analytical Skills
Basic - Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings;
develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the work group level.
Preferred -Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings;
develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources at the department level.

• Assembly Process
Basic - General knowledge of assembly and production processes, manufacturing capabilities (e.g.,
composites, structures), and data needed for defining delivery configurations (e.g., design definition,
program directives, engineering drawings, change memos, wiring diagrams and schematics, functional
tests, supplier data). Ability to differentiate production (manufacturing) processes and requirements
from in-service procedures and requirements.
Preferred -Complete knowledge of assembly and production processes, manufacturing capabilities
(e.g., composites, structures), and data needed for defining delivery configurations (e.g., design
definition, program directives, engineering drawings, change memos, wiring diagrams and schematics,
functional tests, supplier data). Ability to differentiate production (manufacturing) processes and
requirements from in-service procedures and requirements.

• Information Technology Fluency

Basic - General ability in the use of personal computing hardware and software to enter project
information, such as, task status, cost estimating, and tracking. General knowledge of processes and
tools to maintain, archive, and retrieve digital files. General knowledge of constructing/building reports
and presentation materials as needed for assigned projects or in support of higher-level project leads
on large projects.
Preferred -Complete ability in the use of personal computing hardware and software to enter project
information, such as, statements of work, resource identification and usage, task status, cost
estimating and tracking, etc. Complete knowledge of processes and tools to maintain, archive, and
retrieve digital files. Complete ability in constructing/building and providing reports and presentation
material as needed for assigned projects. Complete knowledge of identifying and gaining approval of
testing of established applications to meet project requirements.
