Job Description

Manufacturing Systems Engineer

General Dynamics Mission Systems

Role Description Imagine a world-class engineering environment. Now add a team of exceptional talent along with technologies that are so advanced they are often classified. That is what you will find at General Dynamics Mission Systems. Here you will join a team of exceptional engineers as they invent the technologies, products and services that help our service members, intelligence analysts and first responders keep our nation safe. If you want the chance to build things that matter, it is time to bring your talent to General Dynamics Mission Systems. You will be part of the Operations Technology team, a forward deployed engineering group that embeds directly with users to understand workflows, define requirements, and build custom AI-native solutions from scratch. As the Manufacturing Systems Engineer, you build the systems that run our manufacturing operations. Our first mission is a custom MES that scales across all operations sites, and you will be a core builder on it. You will work across the full development lifecycle: - Gathering requirements firsthand from operators and engineers on the manufacturing floor - Building major components of a scalable, modular system - Writing and shipping production code - Supporting the systems you build The scope spans software, data architecture, and emerging manufacturing technologies including Agentic AI, IoT, machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and digital twins. This is a greenfield build, not a configuration job. We build purpose-built, best-of-breed systems around our best process and connect them from day one, instead of buying a COTS platform and bending our process to fit it. You will build the system, not configure a COTS platform. Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; or Master's degree, plus 3 years relevant experience. Requirements - Applicants selected may be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. - U.S. citizenship is required due to the nature of work performed within our facilities. Key Responsibilities - Manufacturing Systems Development: - Design and build major components of a custom MES and the broader manufacturing systems landscape, designed to scale from one site to all operations sites. - Apply manufacturing systems standards and patterns (ISA-95, equipment/work hierarchy, genealogy, traceability) within a modern, modular, cloud-native build. - Help evaluate build-versus-buy and implement the decisions that set the foundation for systems that follow. - Take ownership of your assigned scope and deliver it end to end, working with general direction on loosely defined problems. - Grow into broader technical leadership and mentorship as the team scales. - Software Development & Deployment: - Design, develop, test, and deploy full-stack web applications for manufacturing execution, data integration, and operational intelligence. - Build AI-native applications with intelligence embedded from the architecture up. - Develop APIs, data pipelines, and integration layers that connect business systems into a unified data architecture. - Write clean, scalable code with a focus on enterprise-scale deployment across all operations sites. - Deploy in weeks, not months, using modern development tools including AI coding assistants. - Forward Deployed Engineering: - Embed directly with operations users at GDMS sites to understand workflows and define requirements firsthand. - Own your piece end to end: requirements, design, development, deployment, and support. - Translate complex manufacturing processes into working software through rapid prototyping and iterative delivery. - Build for the user, not the specification. The operator's experience matters more than the feature list. - Data Architecture & Integration: - Build data models that capture, normalize, and flow manufacturing data into a central data warehouse. - Build integrations between enterprise systems (ERP, PLM, CMMS, MRO) and shop-floor equipment using industrial protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT) where applicable. - Eliminate shadow data by building systems that capture critical manufacturing data digitally at the point of work. - AI & Emerging Technology: - Embed AI/ML capabilities into applications: predictive quality, anomaly detection, natural language data access, autonomous decision support. - Leverage large language models and AI coding agents as core tools in the development workflow. - Explore emerging manufacturing technologies (IoT, robotics, digital twins, computer vision) for integration into the team's roadmap. - Cross-Functional Collaboration: - Partner with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, Facilities, EH&S, Government Property, and all Operations personnel across multiple sites. - Work closely with IT infrastructure teams on cloud deployment, security compliance, and DevSecOps practices. - Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders. Benefits - An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development. - Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security. - Flexible schedules with every other Friday off work, if desired (9/80 schedule). - Competitive benefits, including 401k matching, flex time off, paid parental leave, healthcare benefits, health & wellness programs, employee resource and social groups, and more. Salary Note This estimate represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors (geographic location, etc.). Actual pay may vary. This job posting will remain open until the position is filled. Combined Salary Range: USD $118,519.00 - USD $131,482.00 /Yr.
