Job summary

Pittsburgh Tomorrow is seeking a 2D Layout Engineer to lead end-to-end site and factory layout efforts in Pittsburgh, PA. You will design, optimize, and scale manufacturing facilities by integrating production systems, material flow, and infrastructure into cohesive layouts.

The role combines industrial engineering expertise with data-driven analysis and cross-functional collaboration to support large-scale manufacturing growth. Experience with PFEP, 2D/3D layouts, and OS&E integration is valued.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience in site/factory layout planning, industrial engineering, or manufacturing systems.
• Experience in large-scale manufacturing environments (e.g., automotive, battery, energy, or heavy industry).
• Strong understanding of site planning, material flow, and facility design principles.

Responsibilities

• Lead factory layout design across manufacturing lines, warehouse/storage areas, material flow, people flow, and ancillary/support spaces.
• Develop long-term site master plans to support phased capacity expansion and future scalability.
• Define and implement layout governance and standards, including change management, visual factory standards, drafting standards, and layout processes.
• Create and maintain block layouts and detailed 2D/3D layouts aligned with POR and business requirements.
• Design and optimize end-to-end material flow, including inbound, internal logistics (WIP), and outbound finished goods flow.
• Own and manage overall site layout, including building placement, external logistics flow (truck movement, dock doors, yards), utilities, and infrastructure planning.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on layout requirements and ensure seamless execution.
• Perform data-driven analysis to optimize space utilization, flow efficiency, labor productivity, and cost.
• Develop and integrate PFEP into layout decisions, including storage strategy, packaging, and line-side delivery.
• Define and track layout performance metrics, including flow distance, aisle utilization, space density, throughput, and bottlenecks.
• Support capacity planning and modeling using OEE, cycle time analysis, and throughput simulations.
• Drive factory densification initiatives by eliminating non-value-added movement and improving layout efficiency.
• Support installation, commissioning, and layout validation during site construction and production ramp-up.
• Translate complex layout and operational data into clear, executive-level insights to support strategic decisions.
