About the role
Role Scope
Design the production lines: layouts, station counts, and takt math for module fabrication and assembly.
Model capacity honestly: bottlenecks, buffers, and the real output curve under variation.
Engineer the ramp plans: how each line gets from first unit to rate, with the constraints named.
Redesign as the product evolves: new configurations absorbed without rebuilding the factory.
Requirements
You've designed manufacturing lines or major line extensions that got built.
Your takt and capacity models matched reality within noise.
You've used simulation or rigorous math to find the bottleneck before it found you.
You design for the operators: ergonomics, presentation, and flow.
You defend a layout decision with data and change it when the data says to.
Nice-to-Haves
Discrete event simulation.
Heavy product lines.
Greenfield factory design.
Lean and TPS grounding.
