OPERATIONS ANALYST (RAPTOR)

The Operations Engineering team is responsible for building the factory that produces the world’s most advanced rocket engine—essentially, the machine that makes the machine. This team oversees factory construction and expansion, optimizes process flows, develops automation, and drives strategic project planning. With a focus on precision and simplicity, they turn vision into reality on the factory floor.

In this role, you will work hands-on with the production team to implement improvements, ensuring strategies translate into real-world efficiencies on the factory floor. You will develop the strategy, key metrics, and processes to assess the health of production. You will create robust, business-critical automation and take ownership of metrics that drive program-level decision-making. If you thrive on strategic planning, managing multiple priorities, optimizing part flow, and working hands-on in a dynamic environment, Operations Engineering could be the perfect fit for you.

• Design and implement state-of-the-art factory standards such as intuitive visual queuing, standardized lineside equipment, efficient space allocations, inspirational artwork, etc.
• Design and optimize factory layouts using SketchUp, ensuring linear product flow
• Identify operational challenges within the organization, determine root cause, and develop creative and effective solutions
• Actively perform continuous improvements for production processes, quality, faster build times, lower maintenance needs, project kitting, streamlined communication between teams, and feedback loops
• Develop, track, and standardize key performance indicators that quantify production system health and drive appropriate action
• Develop tools and reports to analyze delivery, capacity, cost problems for production, supply chain, and operations to guide decision-making
• Develop process flow models to analyze production system behavior and synchronize output with other elements of the company
