Job description

Junior Industrial Engineer

We are seeking a motivated Industrial Engineer to support the optimization of manufacturing processes, material flow, factory layouts, and operational performance. The role will apply Industrial Engineering, Lean, and data-driven problem-solving principles to improve safety, quality, productivity, material flow, space utilization, and cost efficiency. This position is ideal for an early-career engineer who enjoys working closely with manufacturing operations, analyzing processes, solving practical problems, and developing solutions that improve how people, materials, equipment, and information flow through the factory.

Process & Productivity Improvement

• Conduct time studies, work measurement, cycle-time analysis, and process observations.
• Identify process waste, bottlenecks, capacity constraints, and productivity improvement opportunities.
• Support line balancing, manpower optimization, standard work, and productivity improvement activities.
• Assist in establishing and maintaining operational performance standards.

Material Flow & Factory Layout

• Analyze end-to-end material flow across warehouse, production, and supporting operations.
• Develop process maps, spaghetti diagrams, material-flow analyses, and current/future-state layouts.
• Support factory layout development to achieve safe, efficient, and lean flow of people, materials, and equipment.
• Identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary transportation, handling, waiting, WIP, and material movement.
• Support space-utilization and storage-capacity studies.

Capacity & Operational Analysis

• Support capacity analysis for production lines, equipment, labor, storage, and material-handling systems.
• Analyze production demand, takt time, cycle time, utilization, and resource requirements.
• Collect, validate, and analyze operational data to support engineering recommendations and business decisions.

Lean & Continuous Improvement

• Apply Lean principles and tools including 5S, standard work, visual management, value-stream mapping, waste elimination, and Kaizen.
• Participate in continuous-improvement projects and problem-solving activities.
• Support root-cause analysis and implementation of corrective and improvement actions.
• Track improvement actions and quantify operational benefits.

Safety & Ergonomics

• Incorporate safety, ergonomics, and human-factor considerations into process and layout designs.
• Support ergonomic assessments of workstations and material-handling activities.
• Work with relevant stakeholders to identify and reduce operational and material-flow risks.

Engineering Documentation & Collaboration

• Develop and maintain process maps, layouts, standard work, capacity models, engineering studies, and project documentation.
• Prepare analysis, reports, and presentations to communicate findings and recommendations.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Logistics, Quality, Facilities, Automation, and other Engineering functions.
• Provide engineering support for new product, equipment, process, and factory improvement initiatives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Fresh graduates or candidates with approximately 0-2 years of relevant manufacturing or industrial engineering experience are encouraged to apply.
• Basic understanding of Industrial Engineering and Lean manufacturing principles.
• Knowledge of time study, line balancing, capacity analysis, process mapping, and continuous improvement is preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and basic data analysis.
• Experience with AutoCAD or other factory-layout/design tools is an advantage.
• Exposure to Power BI, simulation tools, ERP/MES/WMS systems, automation, AMR/AGV, or smart-manufacturing technologies is beneficial.

Key Competencies

• Structured and analytical problem-solving skills
• Data-driven decision making
• Strong attention to detail
• Continuous-improvement mindset
• Ability and willingness to work directly on the manufacturing floor
• Effective communication and stakeholder collaboration
• Ability to translate data and observations into practical improvement actions
• Initiative, curiosity, and willingness to learn
• Ownership and accountability for assigned deliverables

What Success Looks Like

• Independently conduct process and time studies
• Identify waste and improvement opportunities
• Develop practical process and layout improvements
• Analyze production and material-flow capacity
• Support implementation and validation of engineering solutions
• Quantify improvements in productivity, space, material movement, labor, and operational efficiency
• Build the technical foundation required to progress into an independent Industrial Engineer role
