What is JetZero?

Today's aircraft contribute around 4% of global CO2 emissions, equivalent to the emissions of 200 million cars. This is only going to increase: Air travel is forecasted to double by 2050, while meaningful efficiency gains using current airplanes have hit a wall.

JetZero is developing a blended-wing body (BWB) aircraft. It uses up to 50% less fuel and will be built to accommodate zero-emission hydrogen propulsion. JetZero is the inevitable solution to sustainable air travel.
The JetZero team

We are experienced aerospace professionals and engineers, excited about the future. That future will only be possible if we share our vision and what it means to people's lives: carbon-free flight that' is better for both passengers and airlines around the world.

We are seeking an Industrial Engineer to join our team and revolutionize the role of manufacturing planning within the aviation industry. This role will focus on collaborating within a manufacturing integrated product team to develop innovative solutions, resolving potential production issues with critical thought and data-backed estimates. Industrial Engineers will be responsible for developing the tools and analysis that allow for optimal scheduling, facility layouts, ergonomics, producibility, equipment capacity, and staffing so that our future manufacturing efforts can thrive.
What You'll Do:

Perform advanced data analysis to extract actionable insights, identify emerging trends, and generate accurate requirement forecasts, facilitating data-driven decision-making for production planning.
Determine optimal production intervals to align with resource availability and expected demand forecasting.
Use master production scheduling tools to design cost center timespans that minimize waste and scale rate tooling appropriately.
Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to eliminate unnecessary movement and optimize the designs of work orders within cost centers.
Conduct ergonomics studies to improve worker safety and efficiency.
Analyze product flow to identify process and equipment bottlenecks and develop solutions to improve efficiency.
Create detailed 2D and 3D factory layouts to optimize production facility design for product flow, parts distribution, and power distribution.
Develop manufacturing requirements for A&E to ensure alignment with project specifications, operational efficiency, and production scalability.
Utilize or collaborate with discrete event simulation tools to validate manufacturing planning, perform capacity optimization, and conduct scenario tests to evaluate the impacts of potential process changes or improvements.
Refine manufacturing requirements for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platforms and help set up their eventual deployment.
Design and implement data workflow processes for real-time production analysis and decision-making.
Establish and execute dynamic production scheduling to improve flexibility and responsiveness in production operations.
Design and implement digital tools to streamline workflows, improving efficiency and reducing manual effort for revision cycles.
Collaborate with external vendors to determine optimal production strategies, ensure alignment with manufacturing requirements, and address capacity or quality concerns proactively.

What You Bring:

A bachelor's or master's degree in industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, data science, or a related field, with a minimum of 5-years of experience in industrial engineering operations for manufacturing, preferably within the aerospace industry; experience in early-stage manufacturing program development is highly desirable.
Experience in developing or collaboratively integrating discrete event simulation, 3D factory layout, or ergonomic simulation tools into manufacturing planning processes.
Practical experience in designing and optimizing greenfield factory layouts, including the integration of space planning, workflow analysis, and resource allocation to enhance manufacturing efficiency.
Strong technical expertise in lean manufacturing principles, with a comprehensive understanding of efficiency methodologies such as Six Sigma, the Toyota Production System (TPS), and other continuous improvement frameworks.
Proven experience in data analytics, trend analysis, and forecasting, with a strong focus on developing and optimizing production schedules to meet business objectives and operational demands.
Strong knowledge of enterprise applications such as PLM, ERP, and MES.

Preferred Skills (Nice to Have)

1-2 years of leadership experience either in management or as a technical team leader
