Layout & Facility Optimization

  • Design and refine plant layouts for coating lines, assembly stations, inspection cells, and handling flows to improve efficiency and reduce material risk.

Material Flow & Inventory Control

  • Optimize movement of substrates, coatings, and assemblies using JIT, Kanban, and lean material-flow systems.

Cost Reduction & Lean Implementation

  • Lead lean initiatives targeting scrap reduction, rework elimination, and improved equipment uptime, especially within controlled-environment areas.

Data-Driven Performance Analysis

  • Analyze process data including yield, cycle time, OEE, SPC metrics, and throughput to identify trends and improvement opportunities.

Safety, Ergonomics & Compliance

  • Ensure compliance with safety standards related to glass, coatings, chemicals, and precision assembly.
  • Improve ergonomics for operators working in inspection and assembly areas

New Product Introduction (NPI)

  • Support R&D and design teams in industrializing new mirror and glass technologies and translating prototypes into stable, repeatable production processes.

What You Bring:

  • A degree in Industrial Engineering (preferred) or Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering with strong exposure to industrial engineering principles.
  • Experience working across multiple engineering areas: industrial, process, manufacturing, and some product engineering.
  • Strong understanding of high-volume manufacturing methods, especially in glass, coatings, display, or precision component environments.
  • Hands-on experience with lean principles, time studies, standard work, process mapping, and layout optimization.
  • Experience with statistical tools such as Minitab, Power BI, Excel for SPC, yield tracking, and data analysis.
