  • Continuously improve physical infrastructure design standards by applying Lean principles, industrial engineering methodologies, operational modeling, and real-world performance data to optimize facility layout and workflow
  • Evaluate facility concepts through simulations, pilots, and real-world testing to validate design assumptions, improve efficiency, and drive continuous improvement
  • Influence infrastructure planning by developing operational analyses, performance metrics, and scalability recommendations that support facility programming and design decisions

You have:

  • 10+ years of industrial engineering, operations excellence, process improvement, manufacturing engineering, or related disciplines as they relate to automotive throughput
  • Experience applying Lean principles, process improvement methodologies, and operational modeling to improve facility design and business performance
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams during facility planning design, or operational improvements
  • Experience solving complex challenges through structured data analysis and forensics, applying methodical frameworks, practical experience, innovation, and sound judgment to make effective decisions even when information is limited
  • Experience developing and implementing process improvements and/or lean methodology to streamline the full project delivery cycle inclusive of a strong understanding of and experience using AI tools to enhance workflows

We prefer:

  • An understanding of various real estate typologies (workplace, lab, industrial, manufacturing, automotive service, EV charging)
  • Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification
  • A track record of proven objective analysis, having delivering projects in an atmosphere where speed, flexibility and frugality are the norm
  • Degree in Industrial Engineering, System Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
