Industrial Warehouse Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design pick, pack, receiving, and RMA workflows for each site's warehouse layout, optimizing for travel distance, throughput, and dock-to-floor time.
• Run time and motion studies on warehouse and dock processes, and use the data to set the standard work each site trains against.
• Model rack, dock door, and staging layouts for new and existing sites, balancing throughput against real estate cost.
• Build the process documentation and standard work instructions that let a new site ramp to full productivity in weeks, not months.
• Partner with the WMS and IMS system build teams to make sure new tooling matches the physical workflow, not the other way around.
• Decide what happens next to every piece of material before it leaves the dock; build the disposition strategy that makes that call for every material category, at every site.
• Replace outsourced warehousing with a network we own and stand up its own facilities and processes.
• Build and integrate the warehouse, inventory, and transportation management systems from scratch.

Requirements

• Designed or re-designed a warehouse layout and can point to the throughput or cost improvement it produced.
• Run a time and motion study and turned it into a standard work instruction that a new hire could follow on day one.
• Modeled dock, rack, or staging capacity against real operational data, not rule-of-thumb assumptions.
• Partnered with a systems team to make sure new software matched a real physical process instead of forcing the process to bend to the software.
• Get to a site, watch how work actually happens, and find the waste that nobody built a report to catch.

Nice-to-Haves

• Lean Six Sigma or industrial engineering background.
• Experience in data center, manufacturing, or high-throughput distribution environments.
• Familiarity with warehouse simulation or layout modeling tools.
