The Sr. Material Flow Engineer supports the material flow engineering team in the planning and deployment of in‑plant logistics systems, processes, and material handling/storage infrastructure. This role focuses on analyzing and optimizing logistics flows from inbound truck parking bay to internal/external warehouses, dock to marketplace, kitting, sequencing/auto call systems, and lineside parts feeding strategies. The Senior Engineer contributes to lean, agile, and cost‑effective solutions that enable seamless production and operational excellence. The ideal candidate brings strong engineering expertise and proven ability to work with key stakeholders and cross‑functional teams.

You Will:

• Collaborate with a high‑performing logistics engineering team to analyze, design, and optimize in‑plant logistics systems including warehousing, transportation, and distribution.
• Lead strategic initiatives such as network design, capacity planning, cost‑to‑serve modeling, and logistics performance improvements.
• Design and refine warehouse layouts, material handling systems, and logistics flows using AutoCAD, simulation tools, and engineering analysis.
• Evaluate and implement automation technologies (e.g., conveyors, ASRS, AGVs, robotics) to boost productivity and throughput.
• Partner with cross‑functional teams—operations, IT, procurement, and 3PLs—to align logistics strategies across the organization.
• Manage RFPs and infrastructure investments for logistics assets, including new site development and facility expansion.
• Analyze logistics data and KPIs to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Drive lean logistics initiatives and support Kaizen events and Six Sigma projects.
• Support new product introductions, plant launches, and business expansions with scalable logistics solutions.
• Ensure logistics operations comply with safety standards, environmental regulations, and corporate policies.

You Bring:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Logistics Engineering, or a related field (preferred).
• 4–7 years of experience in the automotive industry or material flow engineering.
• At least 1–2 years of experience in a supervisory or team lead role.
• Proven ability to design and optimize material flow systems.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing systems such as TPS and WCM.
• Exposure to automation technologies and logistics data analysis.
• Strong engineering and team coordination experience.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast‑paced, global environment.
• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset with attention to detail.
• Strong negotiation and vendor management capabilities.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and specifications.
• Understanding of sustainability practices and circular economy principles in packaging.
• Experience working cross‑functionally and managing stakeholder expectations.
• Strategic thinking with the ability to align material flow initiatives with broader business goals.
• A track record of supporting and developing high‑performing teams.
• Decision‑making skills under pressure and in ambiguous situations.
• Ability to influence and drive change across departments and external partners.
