Industrial Engineer

Overview The Industrial Engineer will work on large-scale manufacturing projects, including GW-level advanced manufacturing or renewable energy facilities. The engineer will work closely with engineers on tasks such as production line planning, capacity analysis, and process optimization. Responsibilities Manufacturing System & Line Planning Lead and support production line planning for solar cell manufacturing Develop and optimize line layout, material flow, and space utilization Perform takt time analysis, cycle time analysis, and capacity modeling Define standard production capacity (UPH, shift capacity, line balance) Support equipment placement, footprint definition, and expansion planning Data Analysis & Process Optimization Analyze manufacturing data, including cycle time, UPH, OEE, yield, and bottleneck Conduct statistical and quantitative analysis to identify improvement opportunities Support cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and productivity enhancement initiatives Participate in continuous improvement projects (Lean, line balancing, waste reduction) Cross‑Functional & Project Coordination Work closely with process, equipment, facilities, and production teams Coordinate with Asian engineering teams and US site teams to align on design assumptions and implementation Support on-site engineering activities, follow up on action items, and track deliverables Provide IE input during equipment move‑in, line ramp‑up, and production launch phase Project management and coordination of different teams (Chinese team and US team) to communicate design proposals Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support on-site engineering activities and follow up on action items Qualifications and Experience Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering or a related engineering field 2+ years of industrial engineering experience in manufacturing environment Strong understanding of manufacturing system design and line layout planning Proficiency in AutoCAD (2D layout and equipment placement) Strong Excel skills for data analysis (capacity models, calculations, tracking) Solid analytical and problem‑solving skills Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities Effective communication skills in English (written and verbal) Preferred Experience in photovoltaic, semiconductor, electronics, or high‑volume manufacturing Familiarity with GW‑level or large‑scale factory planning and ramp‑up Experience with Lean manufacturing, line balancing, or capacity optimization Experience working with cross‑regional or international engineering teams #J-18808-Ljbffr
