The ideal candidate will combine strong industrial engineering fundamentals with advanced analytics, simulation, business case development, and AI-driven systems to support large-scale manufacturing environments.
Key Responsibilities
· Develop and own integrated IE models that connect capacity, labor, material flow, PFEP, and cost (COGS) to support factory planning and operations
· Build and maintain capacity models (target vs. forecast vs. gated capacity), incorporating cycle time, OEE, yield losses, and bottleneck analysis
· Develop labor models to optimize headcount, utilization, and labor cost (LOH) across production systems
· Create and evaluate business cases for capital investments, including ROI, IRR, NPV, and cost benefit analysis
· Lead COGS modeling, including labor, overhead, scrap, and process-driven cost components
· Develop and track scrap and yield models, quantifying cost impact and identifying improvement opportunities
· Design and maintain OEE models (availability, performance, quality) to drive operational efficiency and continuous improvement
· Perform buffer and WIP analysis to optimize inline and interline storage, reduce bottlenecks, and stabilize production flow
· Develop process flow diagrams (PFDs) and value stream maps to represent manufacturing systems and identify inefficiencies
· Integrate PFEP (Plan for Every Part) data into models to optimize material flow, storage, and line-side delivery strategies
· Support factory layout, site planning, and material flow decisions through data-driven insights and modeling
· Perform scenario analysis and sensitivity studies to evaluate production strategies and capacity expansion plans
· Utilize and/or develop factory simulation models (e.g., FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio) to analyze throughput, bottlenecks, and system performance
· Support factory ramp-up, installation, and operational readiness through model validation and performance tracking
· Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance,
· Engineering) to align models with real-world constraints and business needs
· Translate complex analytical outputs into clear, executive-level insights and recommendations
· Collaborate with MES and Controls teams to integrate shop-floor data with IE models, ensuring accurate OEE measurement and enabling real-time, scalable dashboards for operational visibility and executive decision-making
AI & Data Systems
· Introduce and implement AI-driven tools and platforms to enhance industrial engineering analytics and decision-making
· Design and manage scalable data models and data architecture for IE, capacity, labor, PFEP,and cost analytics
· Develop standardized systems, frameworks, and governance for data modeling, analytics, and reporting
· Automate data collection, validation, and reporting pipelines using AI and advanced analytics tools
· Enable predictive analytics and intelligent decision-making for capacity, throughput, and cost optimization
· Establish best practices for data quality, model standardization, and system integration across the organization
Basic Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field 7+ years of experience in industrial engineering analytics, manufacturing modeling, or operations analysis
· Strong understanding of manufacturing systems, capacity planning, and industrial engineering principles
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience building end-to-end IE models integrating capacity, labor, cost, PFEP, and material flow
· Proficiency in capacity modeling, OEE analysis, cycle time studies, and line balancing
· Hands-on experience with PFEP, material flow optimization, and warehouse integration
· Experience with factory simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim, AnyLogic, Simio)
· Strong experience in business case development (ROI, IRR, NPV)
· Knowledge of COGS modeling, cost structures, and financial impact analysis
· Experience with data analysis tools (Excel advanced modeling, Python, SQL, Power BI/Tableau, or similar)
· Familiarity with AI/ML applications in manufacturing analytics (preferred)
· Familiarity with lean manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies
Key Skills & Competencies
· Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a data-driven mindset
· Ability to build scalable models and analytics systems that support both tactical and strategic decisions
· Strong communication skills to translate complex data into actionable insights
· Ability to work across cross-functional teams and influence decision-making
· Attention to detail with a systems-level understanding of manufacturing operations
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
