Contract
Mfg engineers onsite that will be working with an offshore engineer to support with design, layout, and build production lines.
Need to understand KANBAN, Time Studies, etc….
Key Responsibilities
Design production lines/cells: define process sequence, station content, equipment/tooling requirements, and ergonomic workstation concepts.
Develop layout options (2D/3D as applicable) to optimize flow, space utilization, safety, and serviceability; support utilities planning (power, air, vacuum, network) and footprint constraints.
Conduct time studies and work measurement to establish cycle times, standard work, and staffing models; determine takt-based capacity and line rate. Perform line balancing and Yamazumi (as applicable) to distribute work evenly and reduce bottlenecks; validate labor assumptions through trials. Implement material flow and replenishment systems: Kanban sizing, min/max, supermarket concepts, point-of-use presentation, and pull signals integrated with the warehouse/stores team.
Define standard work and work instructions for each station including quality checkpoints, torque/spec limits, error-proofing steps, and safety requirements.
Partner with Quality on control plans, inspection methods, and process capability; ensure the line design supports first-pass yield goals.
Coordinate with Maintenance for PM needs, spare parts, access, and reliability considerations;
Drive continuous improvement post-launch using data (scrap, downtime, rework, cycle time) and Lean tools (5S, VSM, Kaizen).
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
6+ years of experience in a manufacturing/plant environment supporting line design, industrial engineering, or production launch activities.
Strong understanding of Lean concepts including Kanban/pull systems, standard work, 5S, waste identification, and basic value stream mapping.
Demonstrated ability to perform time studies/work measurement and translate results into staffing, line balance, and capacity recommendations.
Experience creating layouts and flow diagrams; ability to evaluate alternatives with data (distance, WIP, throughput, safety/ergonomics).
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel (analysis), PowerPoint (communication), and Word (documentation); ability to work cross-functionally and drive action to closure.
