Senior Systems Industrial Engineer — Assembly Architecture

You orchestrate how an entire vehicle comes together — from feeder cells to final torque — with a system-level mindset.

A day in this role

Morning begins with mapping the next evolution of a full vehicle assembly line. You sketch the end-to-end flow, define takt, and line-balance across stations so the whole system performs as one. By midday, you’re partnering with process and equipment owners to weave feeder cells into the main line, crafting an integration strategy that keeps materials, information, and people moving smoothly. The afternoon shifts to the floor: walking layouts, simulating alternatives, and redesigning the facility footprint to tighten flow and shorten paths. Throughout the day, you hunt down bottlenecks, test countermeasures, and iterate until constraints give way. Between reviews, you dive into cost-per-unit models and labor optimization scenarios to validate decisions with data. Along the way, you coach Level I–II industrial engineers, sharpening their methods and confidence.

What you will drive

• Lead the development of full vehicle assembly lines from concept through stable operation.
• Architect the integration strategy for feeder cells feeding the main line.
• Redesign facility layouts to improve flow and remove waste.
• Identify and eliminate production bottlenecks using data and on-floor experimentation.
• Develop scalable production models that support future growth.
• Conduct cost-per-unit analyses and labor optimization modeling to guide decisions.
• Mentor Level I–II industrial engineers to elevate team capability.

Focus and success

Primary focus: System-level production architecture.

Progression signal: You design lines that run predictably at the planned takt with reduced disruption.

What you bring

• 5–8 years of industrial/manufacturing engineering experience.
