About the role

The Industrial (Manufacturing) Engineer plays a crucial role in designing, optimizing, and continuously improving production floor manufacturing systems. They operate with autonomy, making sound judgments and decisions in complex and ambiguous situations, often influencing strategic directions and driving alignment across various cross-functional units.

Responsibilities

• Analyze production data and implement time and line balancing to enhance efficiency and reduce cycle times.
• Closely collaborate with product formulation, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure manufacturability and readiness for launch.
• Develop detailed work instructions, process maps, and visual aids using AutoCAD, Visio, and SolidWorks tailored for assembly setups.
• Create 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 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 ensure packaging aligns with ergonomic, safety, and transportation standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent background in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• Minimum 5+ years of industrial engineering experience in an automotive, heavy machinery, industrial electronics manufacturing & assembly environment.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven experience in at least one full product launch and/or one full lean implementation program.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree or comparable background in industrial engineering, combined with over 3 years of proven experience.
• Experience with SolidWorks and Teamcenter for modeling 3D components.
• Certifications: Lean, Six Sigma Black Belt, MODAPTS, PMP.
• Experience with digital manufacturing, smart factory concepts, and sustainability initiatives.
• Expertise in ISO 14001, ESG reporting, and eco-friendly manufacturing principles.
• Experience in implementing energy-efficient systems, waste minimization programs, closed-loop recycling, and balanced packaging solutions.
