Engineering Jobs in Downey, CA

Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU): CDU is a private, nonprofit, community-founded, student-centered university with 3 colleges: Nursing, Science and Health, and Medicine. CDU is committed to cultivating diverse health professions leaders who are dedicated to social justice and health equity for underserved populations, and in July 2023 opened a new CDU MD degree program in its College of Medicine, as evidence of that commitment.

Founded in 1966 as a post-graduate medical school in response to local healthcare needs, CDU is located in South Los Angeles bordering the neighborhood of Watts and the City of Compton. This year, CDU celebrates 60 years of training diverse health leaders who fulfill its mission in South Los Angeles and across the nation and world. Outstanding education, individualized mentorship, clinical service, and community engagement are at the core of the CDU experience.

College of Medicine: The College of Medicine (COM) at CDU has entered the last phase of the LCME process to full accreditation for its new MD Program that opened with a charter class of 60 students July 2023. The new MD Program is built on the foundation of:

• Graduate Medical Education (GME) with residency programs in Family Medicine (2018), Psychiatry (2018), Internal Medicine (2021), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (2024) and fellowships in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (2023) and Addiction Medicine (2024). GME is growing with plans for Surgery, Pediatrics and Ob/GYN residency programs.
• Forty plus years of experience with clinical education through its clinical track in a joint medical education program with UCLA's Geffen School of Medicine (CDU/UCLA Medical Education Program). The joint degree program graduated its first class in 1985 and sunsets in 2027, having set the stage for the new MD degree program at CDU.

CDU's new medical school is the 157th in the nation and the 4th at an HBCU. The medical students are differentiated from national peers in the percent who received Pell Grants while in college - 70% compared to 20% nationally. CDU's mission includes providing opportunities for students from CDU's surrounding neighborhoods and South Los Angeles County, and from low income /under-resourced backgrounds. This requires ensuring our students' success with the career-long certification process as required for a rewarding career in medicine. It is in this context that we seek a strong, experienced medical educator able to lead our developing basic science medical education unit.

Proper Hospitality is seeking an AI Workflow Fellow for a three month, execution focused program embedded with the CEO, President, and Chief of Staff. This role is responsible for building and deploying production ready AI workflows across our hotel portfolio, automating real operational processes tied to clear ROI, and integrating across systems including PMS, Snowflake, Microsoft 365, and guest experience platforms. This is hands on applied AI with live impact on property operations, not research or prototype work.

What This Is

We're not exploring AI at Proper Hotels. We're deploying it. Right now, AI runs our executive briefings, triages guest reviews across 11 properties, automates reporting pipelines, and handles operational workflows that used to eat hundreds of hours. We need someone who can build more of this, faster.

This is a single fellowship seat. You'll work directly with our CEO, President, Chief of Staff and executive team for three months and will be shipping production workflows from week one.

You are the execution engine inside Proper's broader Workflow & AI operating model.

What You'll Actually Do

Building (80%)

Build & Ship

• Design and deploy agent-based workflows that automate real operational tasks (not demos, not prototypes that sit on a shelf)
• Build within clearly defined ROI hypotheses approved by the Head of Workflow & AI (not speculative experiments)
• Wire together APIs across our stack: PMS, Snowflake, Notion, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Revinate, STR
• Build multi-agent systems that handle overnight operations, reporting rollups, task accountability, and guest experience triage
• Create tools that General Managers and department heads actually use daily

Identify & Automate

• Audit departmental workflows across the portfolio and find the manual processes burning the most hours
• Build the automation, test it on-property, iterate based on real feedback
• Transition tasks from \"someone does this by hand\" to \"this runs itself\" without losing the human touch that defines Proper

Strategy (20%)

Strategic Input

• Evaluate frontier capabilities weekly, but only deploy those that map to defined operational ROI
• Translate what's happening at the AI frontier into specific, actionable opportunities for luxury hospitality
• Help shape our internal AI skill-building program so the culture evolves with the technology

Who You Are

• You build agents and workflows, not just prompts. Show us something you've built that runs without you babysitting it
• You've shipped applied AI into production environments. Side projects count if they're real and running
• You can wire APIs together before lunch and present to the C-suite after it
• You navigate ambiguity without freezing. If a tool doesn't exist, you build it
• You understand that technology in a hotel should be invisible but felt. \"High Tech / High Touch\" isn't a slogan to you
• You're hands-on with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source), API orchestration, agent frameworks (eg. Openclaw), and data pipelines
• Bonus: experience with hospitality systems, revenue management, or guest experience platforms

Education

CS, Data Science, or MBA with a strong technical background preferred but not required. Non-traditional paths welcome if your portfolio speaks for itself

Program Details

• Duration: 3 months with potential to extend
• Experience: 0-2 years
• Compensation: $7,000 - $10,000/month depending on experience and location
• Access: Direct seat at the table with the CEO, President, and Chief of Staff
• Impact: Your work goes live on-property, affecting real guests and real revenue. This isn't a sandbox.

In your application please include two additional items:

• Something you've built that automates a real workflow (link, repo, or demo)
• A short note on what you'd build first if you had access to a luxury hotel portfolio's entire data stack

Job Description:

Distribution Center Design Lead/Architect (Industrial Engineering / Material Flow / Automation / Operations)

Role Summary:

We are seeking a hands‐on Conceptual Design Lead who can own and drive the creation of the future‐state operating model for our Client's new distribution center. This role blends leadership and deep technical design, combining Industrial Engineering, Material Flow/Facility Design, Operations, and Automation experience to deliver a cohesive concept that defines capacity, flow, labor, and automation strategy. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable leading workshops, building models, mapping flows, structuring deliverables, and making executive‐level recommendations.

What You'll Do

• Lead Phase 1 Conceptual Design, acting as the primary architect of the future‐state DC and the coordinator for all SMEs (Operations, IE, Strategy, Transportation, Automation, WMS/IT).
• Build the 5‐year demand/capacity model, including peak week/day/hour throughput, SKU cube/velocity analysis, and storage strategy.
• Design end‐to‐end material flows (inbound → putaway → storage → picking → packing → shipping → returns), aligning process engineering with automation options.
• Create the facility conceptual layout (zones, dock strategy, storage types, work areas) and define envelope requirements (clear height, bays, docks, space allowances).
• Evaluate automation strategies (AutoStore, Exotec, AMRs, traditional MHE), producing trade‐offs, sizing, and throughput scenarios.
• Partner with Operations SMEs to define service models, exception paths, staffing needs, and productivity assumptions.
• Work with Strategy & Transportation Analysts to align network role, transit expectations, and upstream/downstream constraints.
• Collaborate with WMS Architect & IT Integration Architect to define system capabilities, integration points, and functional requirements linked to flow design.
• Facilitate working sessions and drive the team toward a unified Phase 1 Concept Design Package including options, recommendations, risks, and CapEx/OpEx bands.
• Present conceptual alternatives and recommendations to senior leadership and support Stage Gate 1 approvals.

What You Bring

• 7+ years in Industrial Engineering, Material Flow Design, Automation Engineering, or Operations Design for distribution/fulfillment centers.
• Demonstrated ability to design DC flows from scratch and translate requirements into conceptual layouts and automation configurations.
• Experience working with or evaluating automation technologies such as AutoStore, Exotec, AMRs, conveyors, goods‐to‐person, or high‐density storage systems.
• Strong command of capacity modeling, process mapping, labor modeling, and storage/slotting logic.
• Proven ability to lead cross‐functional workshops, synthesize inputs from multiple SMEs, and deliver polished executive-level design deliverables.
• A "builder" mindset — comfortable rolling up your sleeves, doing the analysis, and also driving the broader team toward alignment.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with WMS/IT, Operations, Strategy, and Real Estate partners during early design.

Why This Role Matters

Phase 1 sets the foundation for the entire DC program, defining the operating model, automation direction, labor model, and facility envelope that flow into site selection, financial modeling, detailed design, TI, procurement, and go‐live.

We need a leader who can think strategically and produce high‐quality designs — someone who can be the center of gravity for the conceptual phase and ensure the right decisions are made early, with clarity and speed.
