About this role
Role Purpose
Design, improve and sustain safe, reliable manufacturing systems that integrate people, equipment, materials and information. The Industrial Engineer translates ASD operating priorities into practical improvements in Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, Cash and People (SQDCCP), with emphasis on work measurement, labor standards, capacity, productivity and material flow. Work directly with operators, supervisors and value stream managers to solve operating problems at the gemba, establish repeatable processes and develop plant capability through the ASD Lean Operating System / D.O.O.R. Performance System. Deliver measurable improvements and verify that benefits are sustained in daily operations.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Demonstrated manufacturing experience through employment, internship or cooperative education, with practical exposure to work measurement, production analysis or process improvement. Project scope and independence will match the assigned job level.
- Working knowledge of time studies, labor standards, line balancing, capacity analysis, layout design, ergonomics and Lean problem solving.
- Ability to analyze operational data, validate assumptions and communicate recommendations clearly to operators, managers and functional partners.
- Proficiency with Excel and the ability to read process layouts and engineering drawings; familiarity with ERP or manufacturing data systems.
- Ability to lead projects without direct supervisory authority and work effectively across shifts and functions.
Preferred Experience
- Two or more years of industrial or manufacturing engineering experience in a high-mix production environment.
- Experience in building products, metal fabrication, forming, finishing, assembly, packaging or comparable processes.
- Hands-on improvement results using Lean or Six Sigma methods; relevant certification is helpful but does not replace demonstrated application.
- Experience with CAD layout tools, Power BI, statistical analysis, discrete-event simulation or automation business cases.
