Responsibilities

  • Analyze statistical data and product specifications to determine standards and establish quality and reliability objectives for finished products.
  • Develop manufacturing methods, labor utilization standards, and cost analysis systems to promote efficient use of staff, equipment, and facilities.
  • Recommend methods to improve utilization of personnel, materials, and utilities in a highly automated manufacturing environment.
  • Plan and establish sequences of operations to fabricate and assemble parts or products, promoting efficient workflow and throughput.
  • Apply statistical methods and perform mathematical calculations to determine manufacturing processes, staffing requirements, and production standards.
  • Coordinate quality control objectives and activities to resolve production problems, maximize product reliability, and minimize cost.
  • Estimate production costs and evaluate the impact of product design changes for management review, decision-making, and control.
  • Draft and design layouts of equipment, materials, and workspaces using drafting tools and computer software to achieve maximum efficiency.
  • Monitor production systems to identify bottlenecks through data analysis, focusing resources on areas that limit throughput rather than directly implementing fixes.
  • Collaborate with controls and engineering teams to collect, structure, and feed throughput and performance data into AI models for system-wide analysis.
  • Contribute to the overall layout and optimization of the shop floor, ensuring ergonomic, efficient, and safe workstations and material flow.
  • Participate in industrial engineering activities such as process improvement, time studies, and line balancing to enhance productivity and safety.
  • Ensure that safety considerations and automotive manufacturing requirements are incorporated into process and layout designs.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
  • 2–4 years of experience in industrial engineering or a closely related engineering discipline.
  • Experience in industrial or manufacturing environments with a focus on process improvement and time studies.
  • Ability to analyze statistical data and product specifications to establish standards and quality objectives.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex data sets.
  • Effective verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with cross-functional teams and presenting findings.
  • Ability to make sketches, engineering drawings, and perform common engineering computations.
  • Knowledge of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in producing technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and models.
  • Understanding of business and management principles, including strategic planning, resource allocation, human resources modeling, leadership techniques, production methods, and coordination of people and resources.
  • Experience working with computer applications and engineering-related software such as MS Visual Basic, MS Project, and ABAQUS.
  • Familiarity with data analysis and reporting tools, including Power BI for monitoring jobs per hour, system performance, and bottlenecks.
  • Background in automotive manufacturing and safety practices, particularly within highly automated environments.
  • Ability to work as a team player with strong attention to detail.
