Job Summary:

Haemonetics is hiring a Principal industrial Engineer to support global manufacturing operations through plant layout optimization, process flow mapping, utility coordination, and cross-functional project execution. The Industrial Engineer will partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Maintenance, Quality, EHS, Supply Chain, and external vendors to ensure layouts, process flows, and utility requirements are aligned with business needs, safety expectations, compliance requirements, and operational performance targets. This role will focus on improving manufacturing flow, space utilization, equipment placement, labor efficiency, and readiness for new or modified production processes in a regulated manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, update, and maintain plant layouts, production line layouts, workstation layouts, and space utilization plans to support new equipment installations, line moves, capacity expansions, transfers, and continuous improvement projects.
• Create and maintain process flow maps, value stream maps, material flow analyses, and future-state designs to identify bottlenecks, eliminate waste, improve flow, and optimize space, staffing, equipment utilization, and material movement.
• Coordinate utility requirements for manufacturing equipment and production areas, including compressed air, electrical, vacuum, water, drainage, HVAC, exhaust, cleanroom infrastructure, and other site-specific facility needs.
• Lead alongside Facilities, Maintenance, EHS, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Automation, and Operations to ensure plans support equipment installation, qualification, validation, safety, ergonomics, and long-term maintainability.
• Support manufacturing footprint, line relocation, equipment duplication, and capacity expansion projects by developing layout concepts, defining equipment and utility requirements, evaluating constraints, documenting alternatives, and recommending implementation plans.
• Lead or support time studies, capacity analyses, labor studies, line balancing, takt time analysis, and workstation optimization to improve productivity, throughput, cost, and operator experience.
• Support change control activities by providing layout drawings, process flow documentation, utility impact assessments, implementation rationale, and supporting documentation as required.
• Ensure plant layout and process flow changes comply with applicable company procedures, safety requirements, quality system expectations, environmental requirements, and regulatory standards.
• Lead cross-functional layout reviews and communicate project status, risks, constraints, decisions, and open actions to stakeholders and leadership.
• Maintain accurate documentation of current-state and future-state layouts, equipment locations, process flows, utility requirements, and implementation status.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing principles, 5S, visual management, standard work, and continuous improvement methods to improve production flow, reduce waste, and support a more efficient manufacturing environment.
• Support commissioning, installation, qualification, and production readiness activities for new or relocated equipment and processes.
• Perform other related duties as required to support business needs.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field required.
• 8+ years of experience in industrial or manufacturing engineering, including facilities planning, plant layout design, process optimization, and production support.
• Experience developing plant and line layouts, workstation designs, material flow diagrams, and process flow maps, while supporting equipment installations, line moves, capacity expansions, manufacturing transfers, and facility modification projects.
• Experience with CAD or facility layout software, such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, DraftSight, or equivalent tools.
• Ability to independently manage multiple priorities, coordinating facility, utility, and manufacturing projects across Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Maintenance, Quality, EHS, and external vendors.
• Experience operating within highly controlled manufacturing environments, with knowledge of equipment qualification, process validation, change control, and quality system requirements.
• Experience applying of Lean Manufacturing tools, including 5S, value stream mapping, standard work, line balancing, waste reduction, and root cause analysis preferred.
• Experience with project or business planning tools such as Visio, Project, PowerPoint, Excel or equivalent tools.

Skills and Competencies:

• Strong understanding of manufacturing operations, process flow, facility constraints, material movement, and equipment utilization.
• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to evaluate operational requirements and translate them into practical layout, utility, and process improvement solutions.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present layout options, project status, recommendations, and tradeoffs to cross-functional teams.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate technical documentation.
• Hands-on presence on the manufacturing floor with the ability to observe processes, engage operators, and identify practical improvement opportunities.
• Ability to balance safety, quality, compliance, cost, schedule, and operational efficiency when recommending solutions.

Travel and Working Conditions:

• This is a global position, travel between 25-40% may be required to support manufacturing sites, vendors, equipment suppliers, or project implementation activities.
• The role requires time in office, manufacturing floor, cleanroom, warehouse, utility, and equipment installation environments.
• May require standing, walking, reaching, bending, and occasional lifting consistent with manufacturing engineering support activities.
• May involve exposure to moving mechanical equipment, moderate noise levels, utilities, construction areas, and site-specific manufacturing conditions
