About the role

What You’ll Be Working On

Plant Layout & Process Optimization

  • Design and update manufacturing floor layouts to optimize material flow, maximize space utilization, and ensure safe operator movements.

Throughput Optimization

  • Analyze production data and perform time studies to identify bottlenecks; implement process improvements to balance assembly lines and increase overall facility throughput.

Optimization & Metrics

  • Identify opportunities for improvements in First Pass Yield (FPY) and Overall Process Effectiveness (OPE).

Capacity Planning

  • Assist in calculating production capacity and resource requirements to support scaling operations for high-volume manufacturing.

DFMA & NPI

  • Participate in Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) reviews, providing feedback from the factory floor to simplify assembly and drive cost reductions.

Work Instructions

  • Develop and maintain detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and assembly instructions to ensure consistent quality across production teams.

Tooling & Fixturing

What You’ll Bring to the Team

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent.
  • Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in a manufacturing engineering role, preferably within a complex assembly or electromechanical environment.
  • CAD Proficiency: Proficiency with 2D/3D CAD software (SolidWorks, SketchUp) for creating plant layouts and fixture designs.
  • Process Knowledge: Strong understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles (5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping) and their application.
  • Materials & Assembly: Knowledge of metal fabrication, welding, and mechanical assembly processes.
  • Analytical Problem Solving: Ability to solve manufacturing problems utilizing a first principles approach and data-driven analysis.
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for 8 hours or more daily to support floor operations.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with Plant Simulation analysis to model workflow and throughput.
  • Green Belt or Black Belt Six Sigma certification.
  • Experience using Material Requirements Planning (ERP/MRP) software to manage BOMs and work orders.
  • A strong drive to identify and continually improve manufacturing processes.
