About This Role
This engineering role supports manufacturing and product development by improving processes and enhancing efficiency. The Industrial Engineer I will strengthen operational performance and support a culture of continuous improvement, helping to drive impact by improving workflow, supporting lean activities, and advancing production excellence across the organization.
Responsibilities
- Support development, analysis, and improvement of value stream maps to identify waste and enhance operational flow, identifying inefficiencies and proposing early-stage improvement ideas
- Assist with plant, line, and workstation layout design including material flow, ergonomics, safety, and space utilization by creating or updating basic Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings using tools such as AutoCAD, DraftSight, or SOLIDWORKS
- Participate in continuous improvement activities such as 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), Kaizen events, waste identification, and fundamental root cause analysis
- Contribute to cost-reduction and productivity-improvement initiatives through supporting data collection, workflow observation, and documentation accuracy
- Create, update, and maintain standard work documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Standard Operating Sequence (SOS), and Digital Instructions (DI), ensuring clarity and alignment with process changes
- Support Engineering Change Notice (ECN) updates by gathering documentation, revising standard work elements, and helping ensure accurate implementation
- Assist with time studies, cycle-time observations, and exposure to basic takt-time and capacity concepts to help strengthen analytical skills and support process improvements
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field; or equivalent combination of education and experience
- Foundational knowledge of lean manufacturing and process-improvement methodologies, with the ability to define, analyze, and improve value stream maps
- Experience or exposure to continuous improvement tools such as 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), Kaizen, waste identification, and basic root cause analysis
- Familiarity with plant, line, or workstation layout concepts including ergonomics, safety, material flow, and space utilization
- Exposure to CAD tools such as AutoCAD, DraftSight, or SOLIDWORKS, and awareness of Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) or formal change-management processes
- Experience collaborating on cross-functional projects supporting manufacturing, engineering, quality, or operations teams
- Ability to create or maintain manufacturing documentation such as SOP, SOS, or DI
