Industrial Engineer

• Analyze and optimize manufacturing processes, workflows, and production cycles to improve efficiency.
• Develop and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and best practices.
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks, waste, and non-value-added activities using Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen methodologies.

• Design and balance SMT, assembly, and test stations to optimize line efficiency and operator workload.
• Calculate cycle times, takt time, and throughput rates to meet production targets.
• Conduct time and motion studies to improve worker efficiency and ergonomic design.

• Design factory layouts, material flow, and workstation ergonomics to maximize space utilization and reduce movement waste.
• Collaborate with the Automation and Manufacturing teams to integrate automated solutions and robotics.
• Ensure compliance with 5S, ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), and safety standards in the workstation design.

• Identify cost-saving opportunities by reducing material waste, labor inefficiencies, and cycle time variations.
• Work with procurement and materials teams to evaluate alternative materials or suppliers for cost-effectiveness.
• Develop labor and machine efficiency models to support budgeting and cost analysis.

• Assist in NPI process development, ensuring smooth transition from prototype to mass production.
• Conduct Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews with engineering teams.
• Establish first article and pilot run evaluations to validate new processes before full-scale production.

• Lead Kaizen events, Six Sigma projects, and lean transformation initiatives.
• Train operators and engineers on Lean, 5S, and continuous improvement techniques.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), FPY (First Pass Yield), and scrap rates for improvement opportunities.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing optimization, or process improvement (preferably in an EMS or electronics manufacturing environment).

• Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and process improvement methodologies.
• Experience with time studies, work measurement, and line balancing.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or other factory layout design software.
• Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) for production planning and process control.
• Knowledge of SMT, PCB assembly, and final product assembly processes.

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and adapt to frequent changes.
• Detail-oriented with a continuous improvement mindset.
• Able to communicate in Mandarin (read, write and speak) will be an added advantage for support overseas company.
