  • CapEx & Risk Mitigation: Own integrated program schedules spanning facility preparation through tool and equipment installation. Track heavy capital expenditure budgets and proactively resolve critical path risks to ensure seamless operational readiness.

Qualifications:

  • BS/MS in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.

  • 8+ years of TPM or operations experience, with a proven track record leading large-scale industrial CapEx projects or facility build-outs from concept to commissioning.

  • Deep technical expertise in manufacturing integration, facility layouts, industrial automation, and equipment installation.

  • Demonstrated ability to negotiate with external vendors and drive consensus among cross-functional technical teams.

  • Exceptional communication skills, capable of synthesizing complex technical and financial data into actionable leadership updates.

Bonus Qualifcations

  • Experience collaborating directly with Product Development or Design Engineering teams to influence Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and ensure smooth new product introductions (NPI).

  • Experience scaling manufacturing environments in the Automotive, EV, Aerospace, or Advanced Robotics industries.

  • Proficiency with factory design tools (AutoCAD, Navisworks) and advanced program management software (Smartsheet, MS Project).
