We believe focus, ownership, and excellence are decisive advantages - and we're building a world-class team to turn bold ideas into real capability. \nThis is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where you'll have significant ownership, collaborate with exceptional teammates, and make a direct, measurable impact on our mission and the future of the company - regardless of your function. \nIndustrial Engineer, Logistics & Material Flow\nCastelion is seeking a highly skilled Industrial Engineer to design and scale the logistics systems that support our manufacturing operations. You will own the systems-level view of warehouse layouts, material flow, internal routing, packaging, transportation, and multisite logistics.\nThis role sits at the intersection of industrial engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and program execution. You will translate production requirements, inventory data, facility constraints, and transportation needs into practical systems that ensure materials arrive at the right place, at the right time, in the right condition.\nYou will help build the infrastructure required to scale from prototype and low-rate production into high-rate manufacturing across multiple facilities, suppliers, test sites, and external partners.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and optimize warehouse, stockroom, staging, kitting, shipping, receiving, and material-handling layouts to maximize space utilization, safety, inventory accuracy, and throughput.\nDevelop and maintain end-to-end material-flow maps covering suppliers, receiving, inspection, storage, point-of-use delivery, production, finished goods, shipping, and external sites.\nDefine internal routing strategies, milk runs, tugger routes, delivery frequencies, supermarket locations, point-of-use replenishment, and material presentation standards.\nAnalyze demand, production schedules, inventory levels, shipment history, and facility constraints to model warehouse and logistics capacity.\n Develop multisite transportation plans supporting the movement of materials, tooling, production hardware, equipment, and finished goods between facilities, suppliers, test sites, and customers.\nBuild transportation models that evaluate route frequency, shipment consolidation, vehicle and trailer requirements, carrier performance, lead times, cost, and service-level risk.\nDevelop packaging, labeling, containerization, and material-protection requirements for components, hardware, tooling, hazardous materials, and mission-critical equipment.\nPartner with quality, manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering teams to establish packaging standards that protect hardware from damage, contamination, corrosion, electrostatic discharge, and environmental exposure.\nDefine reusable container strategies, dunnage, racks, pallets, carts, returnable packaging, and other material-handling equipment.\nConduct time studies, travel-path analyses, warehouse slotting studies, labor standards, and process observations to identify bottlenecks and eliminate non-value-added work.\nCreate and maintain process flow diagrams, spaghetti diagrams, value-stream maps, warehouse layouts, routing guides, and standard work.\nEstablish inventory-storage policies, location strategies, FIFO/FEFO requirements, quarantine areas, secure storage, hazardous-material segregation, and controlled-access zones.\nDevelop operating standards for receiving, put-away, picking, kitting, staging, loading, shipping, returns, and intersite transfers.\nBuild and maintain logistics performance metrics, including inventory accuracy, dock-to-stock time, pick accuracy, order cycle time, space utilization, transportation cost, on-time delivery, damage rates, and material availability.\nUse data to lead root-cause investigations into shortages, late deliveries, excess handling, damaged hardware, routing inefficiencies, and warehouse capacity constraints.\nSupport warehouse management system, ERP, barcode, RFID, and material-tracking process improvements.\nPartner with software, operations, and supply chain teams to define system requirements, master data, transactions, location structures, and reporting needs.\nSupport facility planning, equipment selection, automation assessments, and capital-investment decisions with data-driven capacity and cost models.\nLead capacity studies and risk assessments for new facilities, warehouse expansions, production ramps, and multisite operating models.\nEstablish contingency plans for transportation disruptions, supplier delays, facility outages, vehicle constraints, and other logistics risks.\nDevelop and maintain standard work, operating procedures, routing guides, packaging instructions, and training materials.\nCoordinate with suppliers, carriers, brokers, and external logistics partners to improve service, cost, reliability, and compliance.\nWork cross-functionally with manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, quality, finance, facilities, security, and program management to align logistics plans with production schedules, cost targets, and delivery objectives.\nTravel between company facilities, suppliers, logistics partners, and test sites as required to implement and improve logistics systems.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in industrial engineering, supply chain, logistics, manufacturing, mechanical, systems engineering, or a related field.\n3+ years of experience in industrial engineering, warehouse engineering, logistics engineering, manufacturing, distribution, or a related operating environment.\nExperience designing or improving warehouse layouts, material-flow systems, transportation processes, or inventory operations.\nExperience analyzing operational data and developing capacity, labor, space, routing, or cost models.\nAbility to create process maps, layouts, standard work, and operational documentation.\nStrong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.\nAbility to work effectively in a fast-paced, changing environment and manage multiple priorities.\nAbility to work hands-on in warehouse, manufacturing, and logistics environments.\nPreferred Skills and Experience\nExperience supporting hardware development, aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, or other complex manufacturing environments.\nExperience transitioning operations from prototype or low-rate production to high-rate production.\nExperience designing multisite logistics networks, interfacility transportation plans, or regional distribution models.\nExperience with warehouse slotting, pick-path optimization, kitting, supermarkets, kanban, milk runs, or point-of-use delivery.\nExperience with packaging engineering, returnable containers, dunnage, crating, shock and vibration protection, ESD controls, or sensitive-hardware handling.\nFamiliarity with transportation planning, carrier management, freight classification, shipment consolidation, routing guides, and delivery-service metrics.\nExperience with warehouse management systems, ERP systems, barcode/RFID technologies, or inventory-control systems.\nExperience with CAD, Visio, AutoCAD, SketchUp, or similar tools for developing warehouse and facility layouts.\nComfort building dashboards or lightweight data pipelines using Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools.\nExperience with discrete-event simulation, facility modeling, network optimization, or logistics modeling tools.\nBackground in lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, Theory of Constraints, or other continuous-improvement methodologies.\nExperience developing labor standards, conducting time studies, and performing ergonomic or travel-distance analyses.\nFamiliarity with APQP, Control Plans, PFMEA, process risk assessments, and managing significant or critical characteristics.\nExperience with hazardous-material transportation, DOT requirements, export-controlled hardware, or secure logistics is a plus.\nFamiliarity with Atlassian tools such as Confluence and JIRA.\nForklift, powered industrial truck, or other material-handling-equipment experience is a plus.\nExcellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly across technical and operational teams.\nCastelion offers a generous benefits package.
