Station Designer

Position Overview

We are looking for an experienced Manufacturing / Station Design Engineer to design, optimize, and implement high-efficiency workstations for our assembly operations. In this role, you will own the physical footprint of the line-developing 2D and 3D layouts, specifying critical tooling and fixtures, and ensuring every station is engineered for peak ergonomics, safety, and productivity. You will work closely with cross-functional launch teams to turn engineering concepts into functional, waste-free manufacturing realities.

Key Responsibilities

Layout Design & Physical Integration

* 2D & 3D Station Layouts:
Develop and maintain detailed 2D and 3D workstation layouts using AutoCAD, ensuring alignment with overall production flow and plant constraints.

* Tooling & Equipment Integration:
Ensure the integration of tooling, fixtures, and equipment within each station perfectly aligns with the broader line layout and material flow strategy.

* Field Validation:
Perform hands-on field checks to guarantee layout accuracy on the plant floor and proactively resolve any mechanical or spatial interference issues.

Process, Ergonomics & Quality Engineering

* Tooling & Fixture Specification:
Specify fixtures, jigs, tooling, and assembly aids that optimize product quality, operator ergonomics, and general manufacturability.

* Launch

Collaboration:

Partner closely with Launch Industrial Engineers to balance line workloads and validate that station cycle times meet target takt times.

* Validation & Documentation:
Participate in pilot builds and process validation to verify layout accuracy. Support ongoing updates to PFMEA documentation, work instructions, and layout revisions.

* Continuous Improvement:
Lead or support continuous improvement (Kaizen) initiatives focused on ergonomics, floor space utilization, and waste reduction using Lean principles.
