Industrial Engineer
to support and improve manufacturing operations through the application of lean principles, data-driven analysis, and strategic planning. The ideal candidate will play a vital role in analyzing process flows, implementing pull systems (Kanban), developing optimized layouts, and leading continuous improvement (CI) initiatives to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance productivity. Responsibilities
Process & Layout Improvement:
Conduct process flow analysis to identify bottlenecks, waste, and improvement opportunities. Design and implement pull systems (Kanban) to optimize inventory and production scheduling. Develop and maintain current and future state plant layouts using tools such as Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Kaizen events. Design cellular layouts to support one-piece flow and minimize unnecessary movement and transportation. Lead labor reduction initiatives through layout optimization and process reengineering.
Work Study & Analysis:
Perform time studies and motion analysis to determine standard work times and identify inefficiencies. Analyze ergonomics, workstation design, and operator movements to improve safety and performance. Support development and maintenance of standardized work documentation. Champion and lead CI initiatives, including:
SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Dies)
processes to reduce changeover time. Changeover analysis and reduction
projects to support quick response manufacturing. Automation assessments
for repetitive or non-value-added tasks. Motion reduction
initiatives to streamline operator tasks and improve throughput. Collaborate cross-functionally with production, quality, and engineering teams to implement sustainable improvements.
Qualifications
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. Experience
3+ years of experience in an industrial or manufacturing engineering role. Proven experience with lean manufacturing, Kanban, VSM, and Kaizen methodologies. Hands-on experience with plant layout design, time/motion studies, and CI project leadership. Skills
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Proficient in CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks) for layout planning. Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing metrics. Excellent communication and leadership abilities to facilitate cross-functional teamwork. Skilled in Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and project management tools. Equal opportunity employer as to all protected groups, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities
