What We're Looking For

• B.S. or M.S. in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field - Georgia Tech, Purdue, Michigan, Ohio State, Virginia Tech strongly preferred
  
• 3-8 years of experience in high-volume or high-mix manufacturing environments
  
• Deep expertise in plant flow, layout design, and lean manufacturing
  
• Demonstrated experience using AI/ML tools on the floor - predictive analytics, computer vision, optimization algorithms
  
• Strong hands-on presence - you're comfortable and credible on the production floor
  
• Genuinely obsessed with efficiency and continuous improvement
  
• Bonus: experience in metal fabrication, assembly lines, or configurator-based production
  

What You Get

• Competitive base salary + performance bonus
  
• Full benefits package - medical, dental, vision, 401k
  
• Direct impact on a growing, debt-free, American manufacturing company
  
• Free Rogue gear and gym access
  
• A culture that actually values engineers who ship real improvements, not just decks
  

If you're the kind of engineer who gets fired up about cutting waste by 30%, putting AI to work on the floor, and building the future of American manufacturing - we want to talk.
