Position Overview: We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Industrial Engineer with specialized expertise in time studies to join our dynamic team in a medical device manufacturing plant. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of industrial engineering principles, with a focus on optimizing production processes through detailed time studies and efficiency analysis. This role requires a hands-on approach to engineering, with a keen eye for identifying process improvements and the ability to implement changes that significantly impact productivity and efficiency. Key Responsibilities: Conduct comprehensive time studies on manufacturing processes to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and increase efficiency. Design, test, and implement lean manufacturing techniques to optimize production flow and minimize production time. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, quality assurance, and supply chain, to develop and implement process improvements. Utilize statistical analysis and industrial engineering tools to analyze production data, predict production issues, and devise strategic solutions. Develop and maintain detailed documentation of process changes, time study results, and efficiency improvements for internal and regulatory compliance. Train and guide production staff on new processes and techniques resulting from time study analysis and optimization efforts. Continuously monitor and evaluate production processes, making recommendations for further improvements and innovations. Participate in the design and implementation of new production lines, ensuring optimal layout and efficiency from the start. Lead root cause analysis for production issues and develop corrective action plans to prevent recurrence. Stay informed on the latest industry trends, technologies, and best practices in industrial engineering and time management. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or a closely related field. 3-4 years of hands-on experience in industrial engineering within a medical device manufacturing environment. Proven track record of conducting time studies and implementing process improvements in a manufacturing setting. Strong knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and Six Sigma methodologies. Proficient in the use of industrial engineering software and tools for statistical analysis, process simulation, and time study analysis. Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and organizational skills. Ability to work effectively in a team environment and communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely. Self-motivated with the capability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines. Knowledge of FDA regulations and ISO standards related to medical device manufacturing is highly desirable. Work Environment: This position requires the ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, including standing for extended periods, navigating the manufacturing floor, and lifting up to 25 pounds as necessary. Flexibility to adapt to changing production schedules and willingness to work occasional overtime to meet project deadlines is essential.
