Industrial Engineer

As an Industrial Engineer (IE) you will be focusing on designing improving and optimizing systems and processes within the Ocean Systems programs primarily to enhance efficiency productivity and quality while reducing costs. This can involve designing new systems implementing improvements into existing systems or implementing new technologies. IEs work with complex systems involving people machines information and materials. IEs analyze processes to identify bottlenecks inefficiencies and identify areas of improvement. This position will utilize a wide range of knowledge including statistical analyses operations research human factors and logistics. This position will require frequent coordination with Planning & Production Control Manufacturing Engineers and Operations Leads.

Primary Responsibilities.

Create detailed flowcharts or diagrams to visualize the current product flow through multiple stages of production and analyze the flow to identify bottlenecks delays and inefficiencies that may hinder production.

Develop strategies to refine processes and improve the workflow ensuring that materials and products move smoothly from one stage to the next.

Conduct time and motion studies to identify inefficiencies in production processes.

Develop and implement process improvements to enhance productivity and reduce cycle times by using Lean Manufacturing principles (such as yamazumi charts) and Six Sigma methodologies.

Analyze production capacity and develop strategies to improve resource allocation including both personnel & equipment to ensure that manufacturing capabilities align with customer demand.

Design and improve workstations to improve ergonomics and efficiency

Work with the site quality team to develop and implement quality control measures into standard work.

Use of MES software (Solumina) to implement track monitor and control manufacturing processes ensuring quality efficiency and compliance.

Interpret engineering drawings and specifications to develop manufacturing work instructions in an MES system to clearly define the manufacturing processes for: fabrication assembly test integration and refurbishment.

Identify and execute on continuous improvement projects.

Identify and reduce risks in the production processes.

Overseeing & optimizing the production process from raw materials to finished products to ensure efficiency and quality.

Collaborate with Engineering Quality Assurance Operations Leads and Inventory Control.
