Industrial Engineer – Supply Chain Material Flow

Industrial Engineer – Supply Chain Material Flow

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering
• 3+ years past experience in a high-rate supply chain-type role, or manufacturing environment in either a production, where complex mechanical and/or electrical assemblies were built with heavy data utilization
• Strong technical ability to read technical documentation such as drawings and CAD data, understanding of a variety of hardware manufacturing processes for both electronics (PCBAs, sensor hardware, etc.) and structures, mechanical components, and electromechanical systems
• Ability to travel up to 25% of the time
• Ability to relocate, if not already local to Costa Mesa, CA

Responsibilities

• Passionately work across multiple programs from development to full rate production to scale best-in-class solutions to align with maturity of manufacturing process
• Proactively identify imbalances and bottlenecks caused by inventory processes, line layouts, parts shortages, staffing shortages, and other production constraints; flag constraints with the appropriate owners across Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality and drive to resolution
• Own the metrics, KPIs, and reporting associated with monitoring production line health and efficiency, such as cycle time, throughput rate, capacity, utilization, process non-conformities, and inventory accuracy.
• Time studies of current and developing processes to ensure efficiency across warehouse and operations.
• Develop processes to optimize workplans for highly variable demands across multiple sites.
• Translate tools and reports into actionable tasks that impact the health of warehouse operations across a plethora of processes and sites.
• Produce and maintain tools to increase accuracy of work demand for new facilities and maturing processes using a data-driven approach using tools such as Value Stream Mapping/ Process Mapping/ Line Balancing techniques
• Be badass and make an impact to the warehouse team. Value incremental improvements and push them to the floor as quickly as possible. Then iterate until we reach a world-class level.

Preferred Qualifications

• Department or factory design and set up – value stream mapping, flow lines, continuous flow, one piece flow, workstation design
• Demonstrated ability to completely own a value chain from start to finish, measuring each step of the process, creating actionable tasks that culminated in a significant and sustainable business improvement.
• Demonstrated ability of presenting project results to a cross functional team with clearly relating data to proposed next steps.
• Drive solutions by analyzing large data sets and aligning with deep process knowledge that leads to top departmental issues.
• Prior knowledge and interaction with a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for production operations
• Experience implementing Lean Manufacturing principles/implementation which drive manufacturing productivity
• Local subject matter expect for line balancing, time studies, and general industrial engineering across site
• Ability to demonstrate a willingness to take on substantial responsibility across manufacturing, engineering, and operations functions with a bias towards speed and accuracy
• Experience in delivering successful project by being hands on with the process. Including gemba walks, operational analysis, poka yoke solutions among others to allow teams to be successful without massive CAPEX
• Experience interacting with SQL databases – storage of information and building custom queries for tracking production and inventory-related metrics
• Digital Systems – experience of using Siemens ‘plant simulation’, ‘process simulation’ software to model a production line and run production scenarios
• Prior knowledge of NetSuite, Oracle or a similar Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
