The Industrial (Manufacturing) Engineer is a key contributor to the design, optimization, and continuous improvement of production floor manufacturing systems. The role operates with a high degree of autonomy, demonstrating sound judgment and maturity in decision‐making across complex and ambiguous situations. This role engages confidently with senior leadership to influence strategic direction and drive alignment across cross‐functional units.
What You'll Do
* Analyze production data and implement time and line balancing to optimize efficiency and reduce cycle time.
* Work closely with product formulation, quality, and supply chain teams to guarantee manufacturability and readiness for launch.
* Develop detailed work instructions, process maps, and visual aids using AutoCAD, Visio, and SolidWorks tailored for an assembly setup.
* Develop and maintain PFMEA, control plans, and standardized work documentation aligned with ISO requirements.
* Lead lean manufacturing initiatives such as 5S, Kaizen, SMED, and value stream mapping in assembly and sub‐assembly lines.
* Identify opportunities for automation and digital manufacturing technologies.
* Initiate continuous improvement projects using Six Sigma and DMAIC methodologies to address quality and efficiency gaps.
* Resolve production and quality issues using root cause analysis (RCA), 8D problem‐solving, and corrective action plans.
* Develop and implement balanced manufacturing practices, including energy‐efficient processes, waste reduction, and circular material flows.
* Collaborate with environmental groups to guarantee consistency with sustainability objectives and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 14001, ESG metrics).
* Develop and optimize packaging solutions for components to ensure protection, efficient handling, and compliance with ISTA 3E and logistics and environmental standards.
* Implement recyclable and reusable packaging solutions to promote sustainability and lower costs.
* Collaborate with suppliers and logistics teams to guarantee packaging aligns with ergonomic, safety, and transportation standards.
What We're Looking For
