Description
Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) is seeking energetic Entry level or Associate Composite Industrial Engineers to support the planning, design, and continuous improvement of composite manufacturing work cells, flow lines, and material handling systems for up-and-coming Proprietary programs in Berkeley, MO.
These roles focus on translating composite process constraints into robust, safe, and productive production systems. Level 1 is an entry-level role focused on learning and execution; Level 2 is a developing-to-mid-level role with ownership of projects, layout design, and cross-functional implementation.
Position Responsibilities:
(Level 1)
- Support development and maintenance of standard work, takt calculations, cycle time analysis, and work balancing for composite cells and subassembly areas.
- Conduct time studies, operator observations, and basic time-motion analyses to identify waste and improvement opportunities in composite operations.
- Assist with cell and line layout for composite flow, including tooling/fixture placement, material presentation, and contamination-control zoning.
- Support ergonomic assessments specific to composite tasks and implement simple mitigations.
- Help implement and sustain 5S, visual controls, and clean-process practices.
- Collect, document, and report production metrics using Excel and shop-floor systems.
- Support Kaizen events, first-article builds, and production transfers.
- Provide on-floor support to technicians and manufacturing engineers.
(Level 2)
- Lead design and optimization of composite work cells, flow lines, and kitting strategies for moderate-complexity assemblies.
- Conduct detailed time-and-motion studies, takt analysis, and process simulations.
- Lead Kaizen events and small-to-medium continuous improvement projects.
- Develop and maintain standard work, visual controls, work instructions, and training packages.
- Specify material handling solutions and collaborate with tooling and facilities.
- Support integration and layout of automated composite equipment.
- Apply basic statistical analysis, SPC, and DOE methods.
- Mentor Level 1 engineers and coordinate cross-functional implementation.
Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications.
- 0–2 years relevant experience.
- Familiarity with Lean principles, basic time study methods, and reading engineering drawings/GD&T.
- Proficiency with MS Excel and PowerPoint; basic data analysis skills.
- Strong communication, teamwork, and willingness to work on the production floor.
- This position requires the ability to obtain a US Security Clearance.
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
- Demonstrated experience with line balancing, takt time, standard work, time studies, and basic process simulation or modeling.
- Experience applying Lean tools and basic statistical methods.
- Proficiency with Excel and familiarity with data visualization and basic statistical tools.
- Ability to lead small projects and coordinate cross-functional implementation.
- Direct experience or exposure to composite processes.
- Familiarity with contamination-control practices and environmental constraints for composites.
- Experience with manufacturing tools such as Enovia/3DEXPERIENCE, SAP, Catia/NX.
- Formal Lean or Six Sigma training/certification.
Benefits:
- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
- Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs.
- Boeing 401(k) plan with dollar-for-dollar matching up to 10% of eligible pay.
- Student Loan Match program.
Pay Range:
- Level 1: $69,700 - $94,300
- Level 2: $83,300 - $112,700
