• Develop capacity models, equipment loading plans, and scenario analyses to align output capability with demand and revenue requirements.
• Identify bottleneck equipment and processes; establish recovery plans and track actions to closure.
• Lead time studies, cycle-time analysis, line balancing, labor-resource studies, and productivity improvement.
• Monitor OEE, output entitlement versus actual performance, utilization, throughput, and downtime; drive corrective actions.
• Lead factory and test-floor layout optimization using AutoCAD or equivalent tools, including equipment moves and expansion planning.
• Prepare ROI, CapEx justification, and capacity-gap proposals for equipment, automation, and process changes.
• Drive Lean, Kaizen, waste elimination, standard work, and continuous improvement projects with measurable results.
• Maintain accurate IE data, assumptions, standards, dashboards, capacity databases, and planning systems.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or a related discipline.
• Industrial Engineer: 2 or more years of relevant manufacturing experience.
• Senior Industrial Engineer: 5 or more years of relevant experience with demonstrated project leadership.
• Semiconductor assembly, test, or backend experience is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on experience in capacity planning, time study, OEE improvement, layout, labor optimization, and cost/productivity projects.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills; Power BI or other dashboard and data-visualization experience is preferred.
• Working knowledge of AutoCAD or equivalent layout software.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, value-stream mapping, structured problem-solving, and project management.
