Qualifications:
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline is preferred
  • Two to three years of direct experience in a manufacturing, automation, or equipment commissioning environment is preferred; recent graduates with relevant internship or co-op experience will also be considered.
  • Experience and skill in equipment installation, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting in a manufacturing environment.
Other Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
  • Working knowledge of industrial engineering fundamentals: process flow analysis, time studies, capacity planning, facility layout, and cost analysis.
  • Process simulation experience is preferred, including building and analyzing discrete-event simulation models in FlexSim; experience with comparable tools (e.g., Simio, Arena, AnyLogic) is acceptable, and academic or co-op project experience is acceptable for recent graduates.
  • Demonstrated interest in automation, controls, and programming, and willingness to work hands-on in a manufacturing environment, including on the shop floor.
  • Exposure to PLC or HMI programming (e.g., Allen-Bradley ladder logic) and programming or scripting in any language (e.g., Python, structured text, C) is preferred.
  • Familiarity with electrical and electronics fundamentals, industrial sensors, or robotics, and proficiency with CAD software for layout development (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks), are preferred.
  • Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma training, data systems or SQL exposure, and prior manufacturing, casting, or machining experience are pluses.
  • U.S. Person status (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee) is required due to ITAR regulations.
