About Us
Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces.
Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected.
About the Role
At Harmattan AI, we don't just design defense systems - we build them, at speed, and at scale. As an Industrialization Engineer you will be at the heart of that challenge.
This is not a desk job. You will be on the shop floor, hands-on, turning early-stage designs into robust, repeatable production processes. From writing the first work instruction to identifying the bottleneck that no one else spotted - you own it, you fix it, you improve it.
You will work alongside engineers who push manufacturing boundaries every day, on products that have never been built before, in an environment where your ideas translate directly into action. If you are the kind of person who walks into a production line and immediately sees what could be better - this role was built for you.
Your scope spans DFM, process development, continuous improvement, and automation support - with the opportunity to grow fast in a team scaling from prototype to high-volume production.
Responsibilities
Be present and active on the shop floor - develop work instructions, time studies, SOPs, and visual standards from direct observation and hands-on involvement
Identify improvement opportunities with a trained eye, act on them, and share knowledge to keep the team consistent and unblocked
Lead manufacturability reviews and resolve design constraints before they reach production; standardize assembly processes meeting quality, ergonomic, and safety standards
Drive time-and-motion analysis to set cycle time targets, track performance (cycle time, yield, rework), and deliver data-backed improvements with clear KPI targets
Support the transition to automated assembly and leverage robotics where applicable
Bridge R&D, prototype, and mass production sites - capturing and applying lessons learned across the full product line
Candidate Requirements
Essential
Degree in Industrial, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field
Comfortable working from engineering drawings, assembly schematics, and evolving work instructions
Familiarity with lean manufacturing principles and their application in a production or pilot environment
Adaptable and resourceful - at ease where instructions and designs change frequently
Curious, improvement-driven, and eager to take ownership quickly
Hands-on mindset; at ease on the shop floor, not just behind a screen
Preferred
Exposure to a ramp-up, startup, or new product introduction context is a plus, not a prerequisite
Curiosity about automation and a desire to understand where manufacturing is heading
Familiarity with Odoo or any MES/ERP is a bonus
Comfortable operating in ambiguous environments where processes are still being built.
Communication & Influence: Excellent written and verbal communication, capable of leading diverse principals – from junior members to senior executives.
Commitment: 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.

- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams across engineering, quality, and supply chain
Tips for Your Industrialization Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to NPI phases
Industrialization engineers are hired to own specific phases of new product introduction. Call out which phases you've led, from feasibility and pilot builds to production ramp and handoff to operations, so hiring managers can immediately see where you fit in their launch cycle.
Quantify your process improvement results
Vague claims about improving efficiency won't move you past screening. List the specific yield gain, cycle time reduction, or scrap rate change you drove and name the manufacturing process it applied to, whether that's injection molding, PCB assembly, machining, or something else.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists industrialization engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter postings by manufacturing technology
Job titles vary widely across companies. Search both 'industrialization engineer' and related terms like 'manufacturing launch engineer', 'NPI engineer', and 'process industrialization engineer' to avoid missing openings that describe your exact work under a different label.
Prepare a build-ready portfolio artifact
Bring one concrete deliverable to interviews, such as a control plan, PFMEA excerpt, or process flow diagram you authored. Interviewers for this role routinely ask you to walk through a past launch, and a real document makes that conversation far more credible than descriptions alone.
Negotiate start date around program milestones
Industrialization engineering offers are often tied to a program's gate schedule. If you're weighing two offers or finishing a launch at your current job, ask about the program phase the role enters at start date. Joining mid-ramp versus pre-pilot makes a real difference to your workload and visibility.
Industrialization Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most industrialization engineers?
The companies hiring the most industrialization engineers right now include Tesla, Lucid Motors, and Form Energy, with the largest share of openings in California, Michigan, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Automotive OEMs, aerospace prime contractors, and medical device manufacturers consistently account for the highest volume of postings.
How many industrialization engineer jobs are remote?
About 35% of industrialization engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most manufacturing launch work. Sub-areas with the highest remote share tend to be process documentation, supplier quality coordination, and digital manufacturing roles that don't require daily floor presence.
How do you become an industrialization engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in mechanical, industrial, or manufacturing engineering, as most employers treat this as a baseline requirement. Build hands-on experience through internships or co-ops in a production environment, then develop fluency in PFMEA, control plans, and lean tools. Earning a Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt certification strengthens your profile for mid-level and senior roles.
Can you get hired as an industrialization engineer with little experience?
Yes, entry-level industrialization engineer roles exist, but they typically require at least one production-environment internship or co-op. Employers want evidence that you've been on a manufacturing floor and contributed to a real process improvement or launch activity. Highlighting any capstone project involving DFM analysis, tooling validation, or a pilot build makes a meaningful difference at the entry level.
What does the industrialization engineer interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four stages. An initial recruiter screen is followed by a technical phone interview covering process engineering fundamentals, PFMEA methodology, and past launch experience. A panel interview typically includes manufacturing, quality, and program management stakeholders. Some employers add a practical exercise asking you to review a process flow or identify failure modes in a sample scenario.
Where can I find and apply to industrialization engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to industrialization engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your background and target industry, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
