Candidates must be able to obtain a Secret clearance within a reasonable amount of time from date of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.\nResponsibilities for this Position\nAt General Dynamics Mission Systems, we create the technologies, products and services that help our nation's heroes keep our nation safe. The work we do is so advanced, we are continuously moving the boundaries of what's possible. Here you'll work with the best and your talent will be front and center on projects that impact the world. Are you up to the challenge?\nWe apply advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, AR/VR, Cloud Native and Quantum Physics to solve our customers' missions in cyber, RF, undersea, interstellar space and everything in between.\nAs our dedicated Industrial Engineer, you will systematically identify and eliminate production constraints to drive measurable cost savings and throughput improvements across all manufacturing programs. Using a combination of hands-on analysis (time studies, motion studies, value stream mapping) and data-driven methods (ERP data pulls, process simulation, agentic AI tools), you will own the continuous improvement roadmap for the site - turning observations into action and delivering results to the shop floor.\nThis Industrial Engineering role is new to the Marion site, giving the selected candidate significant freedom to define how Industrial Engineering will support and shape our operations moving forward. The position also offers substantial exposure to Senior Leadership, with opportunities to lead and support projects at other GDMS locations, including the precision optics facility in Cullman, Alabama. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious self-starter to gain meaningful experience and visibility as an Industrial Engineer within the Aerospace and Defense industry.What you'll experience:\nTechnologies that aren't just top-notch, they're often top-secret\nA team of bold thinkers committed to exploring what's next\nOpportunities to gain new knowledge - as it's discovered\nOwnership of site-wide continuous improvement goals with the autonomy to drive change from the shop floor up\nWhat you bring to the table:\nA Bachelor's degree in Industrial or Industrial Systems Engineering (or equivalent experience) plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience\nProficiency in lean manufacturing concepts including theory of constraints, waste reduction, value stream mapping, and 6S\nExperience gathering and analyzing production data to identify process constraints, develop capital/expense justifications with supporting ROIs, and lead root cause corrective action (RCCA) events\nWorking knowledge of 2D/3D modeling software (e.g., Catia, AutoCAD) and production process simulation tools (e.g., SIMIO, Delmia)\nExperience supporting the setup of new manufacturing work cells, including facility layout optimization, material storage analysis, and visual management systems (shadowboards, custom racking)\nWhat sets you apart:\nAbility to translate the voice of the customer (production employees) into actionable improvement projects and visual management systems\nExperience building and managing metrics to track, predict, and improve production performance\nUtilization of agentic AI tools such as Claude Code to rapidly analyze data, draw conclusions, and solve for constraints\nLean / Six Sigma Certification or APICS Certification\nProven ability to determine theoretical best output of production processes and establish best-standard goals to drive continuous performance gains\nSalary Note\nThis estimate represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors (geographic location, etc.). Actual pay may vary.
