Senior Industrial Engineer - Factory Design & Simulation

Role Summary:

Seeking a skilled and dynamic Senior Industrial Engineer to spearhead the design and simulation of efficient, innovative factory layouts for Seurat. This role demands an individual with a robust foundation in industrial engineering principles, expert proficiency in 2D and 3D CAD software, and a demonstrated history of solving complex problems through innovative design optimization. The ideal candidate will be a critical thinker, capable of using data and analytics to develop and implement layout designs that optimize production processes, enhance workflow, and ensure safety compliance, while also considering cost-saving and productivity improvement opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Focus on lean systems and methods for manufacturing – value added operations, minimize waste, short production systems, small lot material strategies, focus on the operator & safety.
• Design and optimize factory layouts using AutoCAD, focusing on production lines and supporting functions to improve safety, density, and flow.
• Develop factory simulation/modeling plans to develop efficient flow paths and optimize space utilization through data-driven analysis.
• Work with process engineers to determine standard times for operations with MOST methodology, MTM, or MODAPTS.
• Support all necessary PFMEA’s and required control plans based on known DFMEA and Process definitions.
• Lead cross-functional efforts to ensure layout designs align with Seurat’s strategic goals, facilitating seamless integration between production, material flow, and construction.
• Manage layout design projects from conception through completion, including timeline setting, progress monitoring, and stakeholder communication.
• Employ 3D modeling software for space visualization and allocation and utilize analytics to drive layout improvements and innovation.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering or related field, with at least 5 years of relevant experience emphasizing factory or production line layout design.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, and experience with 3D modeling and simulation software such as Autodesk or Siemens Tecnomatix.
• Strong analytical skills with experience in process optimization, and the ability to develop systems-level solutions for complex problems.
• Experience with manufacturing equipment and production processes, including machining, assembly, and automation.
• Extensive knowledge on Industrial engineering principles and methodologies, including Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen.
• Excellent conflict management, communication, and organizational skills, able to manage tight deadlines and competing demands in a high-pressure environment.
• Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning and staying abreast of industry trends and best practices in factory design and process optimization.
