Guided by our commitment to Building Tomorrow, we combine innovation, operational excellence, and a high-performance culture to shape the future of technology manufacturing

We’re looking for a Senior Industrial Engineer to help design, scale, and optimize the manufacturing systems behind next-generation AI servers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise technology.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for an experienced Industrial Engineer who can take ownership of factory capacity, line design, labor optimization, material flow, and NPI manufacturing readiness in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

What You’ll Own

• Lead the design and optimization of factory layouts, production lines, work cells, and material flow
• Develop capacity models to support production forecasts, demand changes, and manufacturing ramp plans
• Own line balancing, takt-time analysis, headcount modeling, and labor optimization
• Identify manufacturing bottlenecks and lead data-driven initiatives to improve UPH, cycle time, utilization, and overall productivity
• Lead Industrial Engineering activities for New Product Introduction (NPI) and transition into high-volume manufacturing
• Determine headcount, equipment, floor space, workstation, and material-flow requirements for new and expanding production lines
• Establish and maintain engineered labor standards using MOST, MTM, time studies, or equivalent methodologies
• Develop scalable manufacturing strategies to support rapid increases in production volume
• Lead ergonomic assessments and optimize workstations, racks, carts, and material handling systems
• Use production data and operational KPIs to identify opportunities for cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and capacity expansion
• Partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Automation, Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Facilities, and Program Management
• Lead Lean initiatives utilizing Value Stream Mapping, 5S, Kanban, standard work, and continuous improvement methodologies
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior Industrial Engineers and manufacturing teams
• Present capacity, productivity, and operational recommendations to engineering and manufacturing leadership

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related engineering discipline
• 7+ years of Industrial Engineering experience, preferably within a high-volume or complex manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated experience owning factory layout, capacity planning, line balancing, labor modeling, and productivity improvement
• Strong experience supporting NPI, production ramp, and high-volume manufacturing
• Advanced understanding of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience developing engineered labor standards using MOST, MTM, or structured time-study methodologies
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate production data into actionable operational strategies
• Proven ability to lead projects and influence cross-functional engineering and operations teams

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with AI server, electronics, semiconductor, data center hardware, or complex electromechanical manufacturing
• AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar tools for factory and production-line layout
• Advanced Excel and/or experience with manufacturing data visualization and analytics tools
• Experience with simulation, capacity modeling, or discrete-event modeling tools
• Experience launching or significantly expanding manufacturing operations

Why Compal?

Compal USA Technology is investing more than $235 million in manufacturing infrastructure as we expand our operations in Taylor and Georgetown, Texas.

For a Senior Industrial Engineer, this is an opportunity to do more than maintain an established manufacturing system—you’ll help design it, scale it, and establish the standards that support our future growth.

• If you’re an Industrial Engineer who enjoys solving complex manufacturing problems, building scalable systems, and seeing your work make an immediate impact on the production floor, we want to hear from you.
