Industrial Engineer - Rolling Stock

Build the Future of Rail Manufacturing

Join Siemens Mobility at our rapidly growing passenger rail manufacturing facility in Lexington, North Carolina, where we are transforming the future of sustainable transportation in North America. As the market leader in passenger coaches, locomotives, and light rail vehicles, Siemens Mobility is helping move millions of people safely, efficiently, and sustainably every day.

This is more than an Industrial Engineering role. It is an opportunity to shape how world-class trains are built from the ground up within one of Siemens Mobility's most strategic manufacturing investments. As our Lexington facility continues to expand, you will play a critical role in designing and optimizing the production systems, processes, and technologies that enable us to deliver innovative rail solutions to customers across the continent.

Position Overview

As an Industrial Engineer, you will help drive our vision of building one of the most efficient and advanced rail manufacturing operations in the world. Working at our growing Lexington facility, you will be responsible for ensuring production operations are fully prepared and ready to implement at the scheduled start of production while consistently meeting or exceeding operational performance standards.

You will work directly with manufacturing teams, including assembly and sub-assembly operations, to define, develop, and continuously optimize manufacturing flows, production layouts, labor standards, and process steps. Using lean manufacturing methodologies and global standards, you will find opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance productivity across the facility.

What You'll Do

• Lead the planning and optimization of manufacturing process flows, equipment layouts, line balancing, and production readiness activities to ensure operations are prepared to meet scheduled production start dates and performance objectives.
• Partner directly with assembly, sub-assembly, engineering, and operations teams to define, standardize, and continuously improve manufacturing processes, workflows, and labor standards.
• Develop production floor layouts, tooling, fixtures, jigs, and manufacturing solutions that support safety, quality, takt time attainment, and operational efficiency.
• Review engineering drawings, specifications, and 3D models to determine manufacturing requirements and ensure successful execution on the production floor.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives by applying lean manufacturing principles to eliminate waste, improve productivity, and optimize material and process flow.
• Lead manufacturing process changes, technology implementations, production launches, and facility expansion projects while coordinating with vendors, suppliers, and multi-functional partners.
• Create and maintain standard work instructions, labor standards, and production documentation using industrial engineering tools and methodologies.

What You Will Need to Be Successful

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering field.
• 3-5 years of experience supporting vehicle production launches, new factory development, manufacturing start-ups, or plant expansion initiatives.
• Experience in the rail or aviation industry preferred, with heavy rail manufacturing experience considered a strong advantage.
• Strong project management skills, including the development of project plans, schedules, budgets, facility layouts, resource requirements, return-on-investment analyses, and execution strategies.
• Practical experience leading new plant rollouts and manufacturing implementation projects while maintaining timelines, budgets, and operational milestones.
• Demonstrated knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and continuous improvement methodologies, with a proven ability to reduce waste and improve operational performance.
• Consistent track record of driving projects to successful completion in fast-paced manufacturing environments through a hands-on approach to problem solving, root cause analysis, and countermeasure implementation.

Why Siemens Mobility?

At Siemens Mobility, every train we build represents thousands of engineering decisions that improve how people move across cities and regions. As an Industrial Engineer, your work will directly influence how efficiently and effectively those trains are built. You'll have the opportunity to shape manufacturing processes, support facility growth, and leave a visible mark on one of North America's premier rail manufacturing operations.

If you're energized by building something new, solving complex production challenges, and driving continuous improvement in a world-class manufacturing environment, we'd love to hear from you.
