Station Designer

Key Responsibilities

• Layout Design & Physical Integration
• 2D & 3D Station Layouts: Develop and maintain detailed 2D and 3D workstation layouts using AutoCAD, ensuring alignment with overall production flow and plant constraints.
• Tooling & Equipment Integration: Ensure the integration of tooling, fixtures, and equipment within each station perfectly aligns with the broader line layout and material flow strategy.
• Field Validation: Perform hands-on field checks to guarantee layout accuracy on the plant floor and proactively resolve any mechanical or spatial interference issues.
• Process, Ergonomics & Quality Engineering
• Tooling & Fixture Specification: Specify fixtures, jigs, tooling, and assembly aids that optimize product quality, operator ergonomics, and general manufacturability.
• Launch Collaboration: Partner closely with Launch Industrial Engineers to balance line workloads and validate that station cycle times meet target takt times.
• Validation & Documentation: Participate in pilot builds and process validation to verify layout accuracy. Support ongoing updates to PFMEA documentation, work instructions, and layout revisions.
• Continuous Improvement: Lead or support continuous improvement (Kaizen) initiatives focused on ergonomics, floor space utilization, and waste reduction using Lean principles.

Education & Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience), or a degree in Manufacturing Technology.
• Experience: 3–5 years of proven experience in automotive, heavy equipment, or high-volume manufacturing environments. Direct experience supporting vehicle assembly line design or new model launch programs is highly preferred.

Technical Skills & Tools

• CAD Proficiency: Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD for creating detailed industrial layouts.
• Engineering Core: Strong understanding of PFMEA, DFMEA, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Modern Manufacturing: Solid understanding of automation, robotics, or material handling systems used in modern, high-volume assembly operations.

Methodologies & Soft Skills

• Robust working knowledge of station design, ergonomics, lean manufacturing, and tooling integration.
• Familiarity with standardized work practices and waste-reduction methodologies.
• Project & Team Skills: Proven ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously in a fast-paced launch environment. Strong communication skills for seamless collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
