• Drive global Industrial Engineering execution and standardization across CBS manufacturing sites, supporting NPI readiness, early cost modeling, Ops Plan, production ramp, capacity, labor productivity, manufacturing cost, and factory performance.
• Develop common IE methods for cycle time, standard labor, line balance, takt time, OEE, equipment utilization, manufacturing availability, and ramp assumptions.
• Partner with site IE teams to validate data at the source, reconcile differences in local calculation methods, and establish one approved global baseline for decision-making.
• Translate product forecast and program build plans into manufacturing requirements including labor, equipment, line loading, shifts, floor space, and production hours.
• Provide fact-based recommendations to Global NPI, Operations, Planning, Finance, Automation, Quality, and site leadership on constraints, productivity opportunities, and manufacturing readiness.
• NPI Manufacturing Readiness
  - Support EVT, DVT, PVT, qualification, pilot, and MP ramp activities by confirming process flow, cycle time, staffing, equipment, tooling, layout, training, documentation, and production-control readiness before each build phase.
• Work Measurement & Line Design
  - Perform time studies, work-content analysis, line balancing, manpower modeling, workstation design, ergonomic assessment, material-flow analysis, and standard-work definition. Establish scalable line concepts that can support expected ramp profiles.
• Capacity & Constraint Analysis
  - Analyze capacity versus demand by site, process, work center, and equipment family. Identify bottlenecks, utilization risks, and timing gaps; develop mitigation scenarios including shift changes, balancing, equipment redeployment, line additions, or alternate site loading.
• Early Cost Modeling & Manufacturing Feasibility
  - Develop preliminary manufacturing cost models during RFQ, concept, and early NPI phases using projected cycle time, labor content, yield, equipment and tooling, floor-space, Cap Ex, and site assumptions. Compare process and site scenarios, identify primary cost drivers, and progressively refine the model as product and process maturity increase to support quoting, business-case, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions.
• Cost & Productivity Engineering
  - Develop and maintain labor, process, and conversion-cost baselines as products and processes mature. Identify opportunities to reduce conversion cost, improve throughput, eliminate non-value-added work, reduce WIP, improve changeover, and increase equipment and labor productivity.
• Ops Plan & Long-Range Manufacturing Planning
  - Support CBS Ops Plan and periodic forecast cycles by translating program and revenue demand into manufacturing capacity, labor/headcount, equipment, floor-space, Cap Ex, productivity, and site-loading requirements. Partner with Operations, Finance, Planning, Global NPI, and site IE teams to align assumptions, identify gaps, and develop executable manufacturing scenarios and multi-year requirements.
• Cap Ex & Equipment Planning
  - Support technical and…
