Industrial Engineer

What you’ll be doing:

Manufacturing System Design:

• Analyze production requirements and develop manufacturing concepts that support safety, quality, delivery, cost, and productivity targets.
• Design and improve production flow, material flow, staffing concepts, work balance, and facility or equipment layouts.
• Evaluate equipment, process, operator, and material interfaces to identify constraints before implementation.
• Support new line development, model changes, expansion projects, and production system modifications.

Capacity, Throughput, and Labor Planning:

• Perform cycle-time studies, bottleneck analysis, line balancing, and utilization analysis.
• Develop capacity models and evaluate equipment, labor, shift, and production assumptions.
• Quantify capacity gaps and compare countermeasure options using defined assumptions and measurable criteria.
• Support workforce planning and sustainable standardized work without compromising safety or quality.

Continuous Improvement and Process Stabilization:

• Lead or support kaizen activities focused on productivity, ergonomics, quality, cost, and waste reduction.
• Use structured problem solving to identify root causes, implement countermeasures, and verify effectiveness.
• Support process stabilization, recurrence prevention, and development of sustainable controls.
• Capture measurable before-and-after results and define ownership for sustainment.

Data Analytics and Performance Management:

• Develop clear KPIs, dashboards, reports, and executive summaries for manufacturing and project performance.
• Analyze production data, variation, losses, constraints, and trends using appropriate statistical and visualization methods.
• Define data sources, calculation logic, assumptions, and limitations so analyses are repeatable and auditable.
• Convert analytical findings into prioritized actions, risks, and recommendations.

Project Execution and Equipment Integration:

• Support equipment specification, installation, commissioning, trial, production readiness, ramp-up, and handover activities.
• Coordinate with Production, Maintenance, Quality, Safety, Facilities, vendors, contractors, and other PE stakeholders.
• Maintain project schedules, action tracking, risk registers, decision records, and readiness criteria.
• Escalate unresolved risks with objective evidence and drive closure of cross-functional issues.

PE Standards, Technical Writing, and Knowledge Management:

• Develop, maintain, and improve Production Engineering standards, procedures, technical guides, check sheets, templates, and process maps.
• Translate engineering knowledge, project experience, and lessons learned into clear, controlled, repeatable PE processes.
• Document workflows for design review, project execution, equipment acceptance, commissioning, validation, handover, and recurrence prevention.
• Gather input from subject matter experts, validate technical content, resolve conflicting inputs, and document assumptions or decision logic.
• Apply document hierarchy, naming, revision control, approval, ownership, effective-date, and periodic-review expectations.
• Create visual and written training materials that enable consistent use by engineers, technicians, contractors, and cross-functional partners.
• Monitor adoption and improve documents based on user feedback, audit findings, process changes, and verified lessons learned.

Education and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, production systems, or closely related experience.
• Experience supporting high-volume manufacturing, automated production, equipment implementation, or manufacturing system improvement.
