About the position

Moseley Technical Services, Inc. is seeking an Engineer - Mfg/Process/Industrial I to join our team in Kent, WA. This is a contract position that offers a competitive hourly wage ranging from $40.69 to $49.23. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing an integrated manufacturing system that leverages innovative manufacturing processes to design and manufacture advanced space propulsion systems. This position requires a proactive approach to capturing manufacturing and facility needs, utilizing Lean techniques to create significant information that supports high-efficiency invention, evolution, and stable execution of advanced manufacturing processes. The Engineer will be responsible for identifying requirements and executing opportunities for data, tools, equipment, and workflow automation. This includes managing manufacturing-related projects and achieving targets for get-to-rate, cycle time, and lead time reduction for assigned work centers. The role also involves providing production support through various methodologies such as production scheduling, theory of constraints, budgets and forecasts, crew empowerment, defect analysis, benchmarking analysis, resource allocation, scenario planning, discrete event simulation, and make/buy evaluations. In addition to production support, the Engineer will focus on process improvement through Lean manufacturing principles, engineering economic analysis, process mapping, root cause analysis, statistical methods, Six Sigma, time studies, waste reduction, and work sampling. Operations improvement will also be a key focus, including ergonomic and human factors considerations, operations plans, recovery planning, capacity planning, and capital planning. The role requires a comprehensive understanding of integrated systems, including value stream analysis, facility layouts, production systems design, manufacturing process design, systems thinking, facilities planning, and requirements gathering.
