Industrial Engineer

Position Description

We’re seeking an Industrial Engineer with 3–5 years of experience to optimize manufacturing and warehouse operations. This role combines core IE methods (time studies, line balancing, layout design, ergonomics) with Lean/CI tools and warehouse engineering standards to improve flow, safety, and cost efficiency.

Why Join Us?

• Impactful Work: Drive improvements that directly enhance safety, efficiency, and cost performance across manufacturing and warehouse operations.
• Innovation & Growth: Apply advanced industrial engineering methods and Lean tools in a tech-forward environment with opportunities for professional development and certifications.
• Collaborative Culture: Work closely with cross-functional teams—Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain—to implement sustainable solutions.
• Career Advancement: Gain exposure to facility planning, engineered standards, automation, and data-driven decision-making, positioning you for future leadership roles.
• Stability & Demand: Join a company that values continuous improvement and offers long-term career security in a high-demand engineering discipline.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop engineered labor standards (e.g., stopwatch studies, MOST, MTM), line balancing, and capacity analysis to improve throughput and reduce waste.
• Design optimized layouts for production cells, material handling, and warehouse using AutoCAD.
• Apply facility planning principles for space utilization and flow efficiency.
• Design and establish aisle space standards based on equipment type (forklifts, pallet jacks, tuggers), load type, and ensure compliance with OSHA and ANSI regulations.
• Analyze and improve warehouse processes: receiving, put-away, picking, packing, shipping, and inventory control.
• Implement slotting optimization for high-frequency items to improve picking efficiency and reduce travel time.
• Design efficient storage systems and material flow paths to minimize travel and handling.
• Develop and maintain standard work, SOPs, and visual controls.
• Lead and participate in group Kaizen events (5S, SMED, TPM, VSM) and sustain improvements.
• Monitor KPIs (OEE, lead time, changeover, inventory accuracy), production downtime (16 losses), and drive corrective actions.
• Maintain documentation for process flow diagrams, spaghetti charts, and plant/warehouse layout drawings.
• Apply ergonomic principles for manual handling zones and workstations.

Required Education & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering or related field.
• 3–5 years in manufacturing and/or warehouse environments applying IE principles.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, Excel/Minitab, ERP/WMS systems.
• Knowledge of Lean tools, warehouse slotting, and engineered standards.

Preferred

• Lean Six Sigma certification (GB/BB).
• Experience with low-volume/high-mix manufacturing and distribution center optimization.
