Senior Industrial Engineer, Layout

Key job responsibilities

• Lead factory layout design across manufacturing lines, warehouse/storage areas, material flow, people flow, and ancillary/support spaces.
• Develop long-term site master plans to support phased capacity expansion and future scalability.
• Define and implement layout governance and standards, including change management, visual factory standards, drafting standards, and layout processes.
• Create and maintain block layouts and detailed 2D/3D layouts aligned with the Plan of Record (POR) and business requirements.
• Design and optimize end-to-end material flow, including inbound, internal logistics (WIP), and outbound finished-goods flow.
• Own overall site layout, including building placement, external logistics flow (truck movement, dock doors, yards), utilities, and infrastructure planning.
• Optimize dock utilization, yard flow, and transportation interfaces to improve site-level logistics efficiency.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Facilities, Construction, EHS) to align on layout requirements and ensure seamless execution.
• Perform data-driven analysis to optimize space utilization, flow efficiency, labor productivity, and cost.
• Create and integrate Plan for Every Part (PFEP) into layout decisions, including storage strategy, packaging, and line-side delivery.
• Define and track layout performance metrics, including flow distance, aisle utilization, space density, throughput, and bottlenecks.
• Support capacity planning and modeling using OEE, cycle-time analysis, and throughput simulations.
• Drive factory densification initiatives by eliminating non-value-added movement and improving layout efficiency.
• Support installation, commissioning, and layout validation during site construction and production ramp-up.
• Translate complex layout and operational data into clear, executive-level insights to support strategic decisions.

  Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or above in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other STEM field
  • 7+ years of experience in site/factory layout planning, industrial engineering, or manufacturing systems
  • Strong understanding of site planning, material flow, and facility design principles
  • Experience using data and analysis to drive decisions and influence cross-functional stakeholders

  Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in site development and large-scale factory ramp-up
  • Proven experience in site master planning, including yard design, dock strategy, and infrastructure planning
  • Hands-on experience with PFEP, warehouse design, and material handling systems (AGVs, AMRs, conveyors)
  • Proficiency with layout tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, AutoCAD Construction Cloud (ACC), or similar 2D/3D design software
  • Experience with simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim) for factory and logistics modeling
  • Strong knowledge of capacity modeling and industrial engineering methodologies (OEE, line balancing, takt time, cycle-time analysis)
  • Experience partnering with construction and facilities teams on site execution and infrastructure integration
  • Familiarity with safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations in site design
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders from the shop floor to executive leadership
