Industrial Engineer Sr - Space Planning; Level 3

Position: Industrial Engineer Sr - Space Planning (Level 3)
Description:

You will be the Industrial Engineer Sr. For the Industrial Engineering team. Our team is responsible for optimizing manufacturing processes, improving efficiency, and reducing costs, with a strong emphasis on analytical skills to drive data‑driven decision making.

What You Will Be Doing

As the Industrial Engineer Sr., you will lead space‑planning initiatives across our manufacturing footprint and drive cross‑functional projects that improve productivity, elevate quality, and eliminate waste. You will be the go‑to champion for scaling production while optimizing factory layout and implementing lean principles.

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

* Redesign shop‑floor layouts - Partner with the shop‑floor Industrial Engineering team to re‑configure cell layouts, optimize material flow, and position equipment for maximum utilization and throughput.

* Scale production capacity - Develop and implement layout strategies that accommodate projected volume growth while maintaining optimal space utilization and minimal bottlenecks.

* Lead lean‑performance initiatives - identify waste, run Kaizen events, and apply 5S, cellular manufacturing, and pull‑system principles to continuously improve flow.

* Manage cross‑functional implementation - coordinate with production, maintenance, quality, and safety to schedule moves, verify clearances, and track performance improvements.

Why Join Us

We're looking for a collaborative and analytical Industrial Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our manufacturing team, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on our operations and drive business results. If you have a passion for data‑driven decision making, process improvement, and leadership, we encourage you to apply. With your expertise and our supportive team environment, you'll be empowered to drive change and achieve operational excellence.
