This position will support a critical air defense program by leading the concept development, planning, budgeting, and activation of a production facility.

The ME will coordinate with Manufacturing and Program stakeholders to determine the work content to be performed at the facility. The ME will lead planning activities, in conjunction with Corporate Facilities, related to non-recurring construction planning and execution. The ME will define the facility concept of operations (CONOPS), facility layout, material flow, production tooling/equipment requirements and the inventory management approach for the facility.

This position will exercise substantial decision-making authority for non-recurring manufacturing site planning.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
