Operations Analyst Mgr - L5

Standard Job Description

You will be the Operations Analyst Manager for the Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) Industrial Engineering Center of Excellence in Orlando, FL. Our team owns the engineering foundation for how production work is defined, timed, scheduled and measured across the MFC manufacturing network, delivering consistent, high‑quality processes to machining, energetics, electronics integration, and test operations.

What You Will Be Doing
As the Operations Analyst Manager you will lead a multi‑site industrial‑engineering team, set priorities against inbound demand, and ensure the delivery of standards, capacity analyses, span‑reduction studies, and layout‑flow work. You will act as the champion for the engineering basis of work‑center efficiency, routings and scheduling parameters, and defend those standards to program, finance and operations leadership.

Your responsibilities will include

• Lead, staff, mentor and develop a team of industrial engineers supporting multiple manufacturing sites.
• Prioritize inbound work, deciding what the team takes on, returns with a defined method, or declines.
• Own delivery commitments for standards refresh, capacity and rate analysis, span‑reduction, and layout/flow projects.
• Maintain and defend the engineering basis for standards, routings, work‑center efficiency and scheduling parameters.
• Deploy common methods across sites so that capability resides in the process, not in individuals.
• Manage staffing plans, balance workloads, and charge effort against program and functional funding.
• Represent the function in governance forums, rate‑readiness reviews, and capital/footprint decision meetings.
• Hire, develop, and retain technical talent, handling performance management and succession planning.

Why Join Us
We are looking for a collaborative, results‑driven leader who thrives in a fast‑paced defense‑aerospace environment. You will shape the way MFC manufactures critical systems, work with cutting‑edge technologies, and influence a broad portfolio of programs. Lockheed Martin offers competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package, flexible work‑schedule options, and a culture that values innovation, growth‑mindset, and work‑life balance. If you are passionate about industrial engineering leadership and want to make a tangible impact on mission‑critical operations, we encourage you to apply.
