Industrial Engineer

Job Title:
Industrial Engineer Manufacturing Optimization Material Engineer

This Industrial Engineer role focuses on manufacturing optimization and material engineering within high-volume assembly centers. You will shape the future of material flow by implementing material strategies and automation, designing efficient and lean material delivery systems, and driving continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. The position requires close collaboration with cross-functional teams to implement advanced material flow solutions, enhance part delivery accuracy, improve product quality, and reduce overall material handling costs in a dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• Design, develop, and implement material flow strategies and automation solutions in assembly centers to support the factory of the future vision.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams as one integrated team to plan, coordinate, and execute new material automation projects in assembly plants.
• Develop business cases for material strategies and automation initiatives, including cost-benefit analyses and long-term return on investment assessments.
• Create and refine a long-term material flow vision for automation and LMS (Logistics Management Systems) implementation in assembly centers.
• Analyze existing manufacturing and material handling processes and recommend changes that improve efficiency, product quality, and material flow.
• Implement process improvements that enhance part delivery accuracy and reduce overall material handling costs.
• Use AutoCAD, Factory CAD, or equivalent tools to design and optimize plant layouts, material routes, and material handling systems.
• Apply industrial engineering techniques to evaluate workflows, line balancing, ergonomics, and material handling methods in assembly operations.
• Leverage knowledge of basic manufacturing, supply chain, and assembly processes to ensure robust and lean material flow solutions.
• Lead or support GMS (Global Manufacturing System) implementation activities related to material flow and manufacturing optimization.
• Serve as a project lead for material flow and automation initiatives, coordinating resources, tracking timelines, and reporting status to stakeholders.
• Prepare and deliver clear presentations, reports, and updates using MS Office tools to communicate project progress and results.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities for automation and material handling optimization across programs and platforms.
• Work daily in a plant floor environment to validate designs, monitor implementation, and troubleshoot material flow issues as they arise.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, supply chain, and engineering teams to ensure new material flow solutions integrate seamlessly with existing operations.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Supply Chain, Industrial) or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 5 years of equivalent experience in manufacturing and supply chain environments.
• Knowledge of basic manufacturing, supply chain, and assembly processes.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Factory CAD, or equivalent tools for layout and material flow design.
• Proficiency with MS Office tools, including Excel, Access, Project, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Knowledge of industrial engineering skills and techniques applied to manufacturing and material handling.
• Minimum 3 years of experience in GMS, program or platform manufacturing, and plant manufacturing.
• Strong knowledge of GMS principles and hands-on experience with GMS implementation.
• Previous experience as a project lead, with the ability to coordinate resources, provide leadership updates, report status, and track timelines.
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic,…
