Production Engineer

The Production Engineer plays a crucial role in ensuring robust production support and facilitating the scaling of production processes. This involves integrating new and advanced technical methods into the shipyard's capabilities, supporting the transition from low-rate to high-volume production, and spearheading the adoption of new automated production assets and software enhancements.

Key responsibilities include:

• Ensuring strict adherence to paperwork and requirements for quality and compliance
• Working directly with the software engineering team on the buildout of the shipyard/production management system
• Owning problem-solving and disposition of production defects, driving root cause problem-solving to impact yield and rework rates
• Reading, interpreting, and following blueprints and sketches to understand the specifications of a project

Additionally, the Production Engineer will:

• Create production processes in unstructured areas of the operational system
• Support the shipyard's transition from low-rate to high-volume production, identifying and implementing necessary changes in processes and infrastructure
• Assist in work prioritization and triage during peak production periods to maintain workflow efficiency
• Onboard new automated production assets, collaborating with software and manufacturing engineering to drive improvements in software products that support production processes
• Lead and/or support translating all shipbuilding processes from anecdotal knowledge into a digital and scalable format

The ideal candidate will have excellent problem-solving skills, a strong understanding of production processes, and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced ship production environment.
