Descripción del empleo

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Manufacturing Engineer to lead layout optimization projects, equipment installation, commissioning, and production line release. In this role, you will ensure that infrastructure, assembly lines, and shopfloor processes are fully prepared for production launch and ramp-up while meeting strict safety, efficiency, cycle time, and quality standards.

About the Role

In this role, you will ensure that infrastructure, assembly lines, and shopfloor processes are fully prepared for production launch and ramp-up while meeting strict safety, efficiency, cycle time, and quality standards.

Responsibilities

• Layout Design & Process Optimization
• Evaluate and optimize shopfloor physical distribution (layout) and material flow using CAD software to maximize operational efficiency, ergonomics, and safety.
• Perform detailed Time & Motion Analyses (cycle time vs. Takt time, line balancing) to identify bottlenecks and optimize direct labor utilization.
• Plan, coordinate, and validate the installation, startup, and commissioning of machinery, tooling, and automated/manual production lines.
• Work closely with equipment vendors and internal maintenance teams to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
• Line Readiness & Process Documentation
• Lead stage-gate reviews to verify technical, safety, and quality requirements before formal line sign-off.
• Create, update, and standardize technical process documentation, including Process Sheets, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Control Plans, and Work Instructions.
• Trial Runs & Ramp-up Execution
• Execute pilot runs and pre-production trials to validate process capabilities and achieve targeted yield rates.
• Maintain an active hands-on presence on the shopfloor alongside operations, quality, and maintenance teams to drive Lean initiatives (VSM, 5S, Kaizen, SMED).
• Monitor and drive key manufacturing metrics including OEE, Cycle Time, Scrap Rate, and First Pass Yield (FPY).
• Project Governance & Handover
• Track project deliverables, action item logs, and KPIs, providing regular progress reports to management and global stakeholders.
• Ensure a structured, formal handover of fully qualified production lines to local operations teams.

Qualifications

• Education
• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience
• 3-5+ years in manufacturing engineering, line transfer/commissioning, or New Product Introduction (NPI).
• Software / CAD
• Proficiency in AutoCAD or 3D CAD modeling tools for layout design and line planning.
• Methodologies
• Hands-on experience with Lean Manufacturing, line balancing, time study methods, VSM, 5S, and SMED.
• Documentation
• Proven track record in drafting process sheets, routings, SOPs, and work instructions.
• Languages
• Advanced/Fluent English (written and spoken) for international and cross-functional collaboration.

Required Skills

• Hands-on Mindset: Thrives in a shopfloor environment and directly engages with operators and maintenance crews.
• Analytical Problem Solver: Strong critical-thinking abilities to address root causes of downtime and cycle time variances.
• Global Collaborator: Exceptional communication skills for dealing with multi-site engineering teams and external equipment suppliers.
