Continuous Improvement Industrial Engineer, High-Mix CNC

Atlas Fibre, LLC; Northbrook (IL); Vor Ort; USD 90.000 - 120.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Atlas Fibre, LLC is seeking a Continuous Improvement Industrial Engineer to optimize a high‑mix CNC cell of mills and lathes across precision machining, fabrication, and light assembly.

You will lead 6S, codify standard work, drive SMED, ensure materials are staged and ERP data is accurate, and measure performance to stabilize flow from order release to shipment.

Qualifikationen

• 5+ years in a CNC machining environment.
• Proven record with 6S, standard work, SMED, material flow, time studies, work measurement, and process documentation.
• ERP experience preferred: order status, routings, labor reporting, inventory transactions, and production visibility.
• Degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• Clear, practical documentation skills used by production teams.

Aufgaben

• Champion 6S: lead and sustain workplace organization and visual control across production areas.
• Codify the work: create and maintain standard work for flow, setup preparation, kitting, material movement, handoffs, and repeatable execution.
• Cut setup time: drive SMED by enhancing pre-stage activity, reducing variation, and improving point-of-use readiness.
• Guarantee readiness: confirm required inputs are staged, visible, and prepared before work is released to execution.
• Measure what matters: establish time-based baselines for setup, wait, and queue; quantify work vs. wait; track plan vs. actual and budget-to-actual variance.
• Make systems tell the truth: work in ERP to keep order status, labor reporting, routings, inventory transactions, and execution tracking accurate.

Jobbeschreibung

Continuous Improvement Industrial Engineer, High-Mix CNCImagine this: a high-mix CNC cell with mills and lathes where setups vary, parts queue, and schedules slip. You step in—confirming kitting, staging materials, tightening standard work, and updating ERP data—until flow stabilizes and execution becomes predictable. That’s the challenge you’ll own at Atlas Fibre across precision machining, fabrication, and light assembly operations.Your missionAccelerate throughput and reliability from order release to shipment by synchronizing people, process, and systems. Partner closely with Production, Production Control, Cell Leads, Quality, Tooling, and Manufacturing Engineering to improve work readiness, kitting, material flow, ERP accuracy, visual control, and execution stability.What you will doChampion 6S: lead and sustain workplace organization and visual control across production areas.Codify the work: create and maintain standard work for flow, setup preparation, kitting, material movement, handoffs, and repeatable execution.Cut setup time: drive SMED by enhancing pre-stage activity, reducing variation, and improving point-of-use readiness.Guarantee readiness: confirm required inputs are staged, visible, and prepared before work is released to execution.Measure what matters: establish time-based baselines for setup, wait, and queue; quantify work vs. wait; track plan vs. actual and budget-to-actual variance.Make systems tell the truth: work in ERP to keep order status, labor reporting, routings, inventory transactions, and execution tracking accurate.What you bringAt least 5 years in a CNC machining environment (mills, lathes, or other high-mix preferred).Proven record with 6S, standard work, SMED, material flow, time studies, work measurement, and process documentation.ERP experience preferred: order status, routings, labor reporting, inventory transactions, and production visibility.Clear, practical documentation skills that production teams use and trust.Degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, or Mechanical Engineering (or related) preferred; equivalent experience considered.Who you areA hands-on, shop-floor partner who observes, documents facts, sees waste quickly, improves flow, and builds standards that elevate consistency, visibility, and confidence.Expertise and toolsExpertise: Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering; CNC Tooling; ERP & MRP SystemsTools: ERP Software
