Design and optimize structural and mechanical layouts for automated systems, applying continuous improvement tools such as PFMEAs, standard work development, and process flow mapping.
Drive cross-functional collaboration across mechanical, electrical, software, and installation teams to remove bottlenecks and improve design handoffs.
Partner with architects, facility engineers, and customers to error-proof installation workflows and validate solutions using PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycles.
Recommend and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate systemic issues.
Maintain deep knowledge of material handling equipment and leverage data to drive improvements in OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and uptime.
What you’ll need
Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Structural, Industrial, or Mechanical Engineering.
Minimum of 5 years of experience in system layout engineering, including work with large-scale steel structures and CI project execution.
Proficiency in Autodesk software with a minimum of 5 years of experience.
Lean Six Sigma certification (preferred) or experience applying DMAIC, A3 problem-solving, or value stream analysis.
Minimum 2 years in the material handling or industrial automation industry (preferred).
