Factory Integration Lead

Title: Factory Integration Lead Location: Oak Ridge, Tennessee Primary Responsibilities: Drive coordination between manufacturing engineering, facility design, construction execution, and factory launch. This role exists to ensure the factory is not just built — but built correctly for the manufacturing system it must support. This is a highly cross‑functional execution role. The successful candidate will operate at the intersection of manufacturing process development, facility design, equipment layout, construction execution, and commissioning. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in first‑of‑kind environments, can move fluidly between engineering and field teams, and enjoys solving complex integration problems. Responsibilities Deep Dive Manufacturing & Facility Integration Serve as the primary coordination point between manufacturing engineering, architect/engineering design teams, construction management, and commissioning teams. Ensure facility design decisions support the actual manufacturing processes, equipment layouts, and production flow. Translate manufacturing requirements into facility design inputs including utilities, equipment space, material flow, and infrastructure. Factory Layout & Production Flow Work with manufacturing engineering to develop and refine factory layouts, equipment placement, and process flow. Ensure layouts support both initial First of A Kind production and future scaled manufacturing. Identify layout, infrastructure, or facility constraints early and drive design adjustments. Design Coordination Facilitate coordination between internal engineering teams and external design partners. Ensure architectural and engineering designs remain aligned with manufacturing requirements and operational needs. Identify conflicts between facility design and manufacturing equipment early. Construction Interface Participate in design reviews, constructability discussions, and field coordination meetings. Support resolution of design‑to‑field conflicts affecting manufacturing systems. Equipment & Commissioning Integration Coordinate installation sequencing between construction completion, equipment installation, and commissioning activities. Support development of equipment installation plans and factory startup sequencing. Ensure infrastructure readiness for manufacturing systems.
