About the job
Responsibilities
- Coordinate daily operations readiness across workstations, operators, materials.
- Track core operating metrics including utilization, cycle time, throughput, downtime, operator productivity, and data quality.
- Identify bottlenecks through workflow analysis, time studies, and capacity modeling, then drive practical fixes.
- Execute the rollout of new hardware, sensors, tools, and process changes with Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Supply Chain, and Safety.
- Identify equipment readiness issues and coordinate with technical support to keep workstations and test equipment calibrated, configured, maintained, and ready for rollouts and evaluations.
- Lead root cause analysis for recurring operational issues and follow through on corrective actions.
- Provide operation input to create and maintain SOPs, work instructions, training materials, and process controls.
- Identify and flag resource constraints and manage issue escalation and resolution.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or a related technical field.
- 3-5 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, industrial/process engineering, operations, robotics, or production environments.
- Experience using Lean, Six Sigma, time studies, or similar methods to improve processes.
- Understanding of operating KPIs such as cycle time, takt time, throughput, utilization, yield, OEE, and uptime.
- Ability to manage multiple work-streams and coordinate across floor operators and technicians to drive execution with limited supervision.
- Exposure to robotics data acquisition, autonomous vehicle systems, camera/audio systems, automation, or robotics systems.
