Understanding of site’s facilities, capabilities and how they tie back to the Jabil strategies and direction
Strong analytical ability
Able to implement continuous improvements and cost reduction programs
Good communication skills
Proficiency in use of personal computers, Microsoft Office products, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Project, and AutoCAD skills required.

Responsibilities

Monitor and continuously improve daily quality/efficiency performance for assigned areas.
Design and procure production tooling, processing equipment and workstations.
Coordinate layout and workstation move activities.
Prepares time estimates for proposed projects and evaluates time factors.
Minimize change over time by ensuring programs use common set-ups where possible.
Verify that machine maintenance is being performed on schedule.
Reduce machine-generated scrap by monitoring machine management data and taking corrective action to improve or correct the operations.
Reduce manual assembly scrap by monitoring quality data and taking corrective action to improve or correct the operations.
Analyzes work force utilization, facility layout, and operational data such as production costs, process flow charts, and production schedules, to determine efficient utilization of workers and equipment.
Adhere to all safety and health rules and regulations associated with this position and as directed by supervisor.
Comply and follow all procedures within the company security policy.
May perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
Ability to manage variability in demand, product mix, and routing complexity
Ability to extract, validate, and interpret production data to drive decisions
Understanding of how test processes impact capacity, flow, and cycle time
Experience working closely with ME, TE, QE, and Operations to resolve real-time issues
Not just reporting metrics — driving decisions and implementation
Ability to clearly communicate capacity, efficiency, and improvement plans to internal and external stakeholders
Drive takt alignment, line balancing, and headcount optimization across high-mix / low-to-medium volume builds
Ensure alignment between IE standards, actual floor performance, and customer commit (UPH, OEE, cycle time)
Develop and validate process flows, line layouts, and capacity models for new builds
Ensure readiness for ramp (tools, fixtures, labor standards, layouts) prior to build start
Support DFM/DFA discussions with ME/TE/QE and customer teams
Identify bottlenecks using data (MES, SAP, manual studies) and implement improvements
Partner with Test Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering to reduce test and process cycle times
Lead structured problem-solving (RCA, Pareto, time studies)
Define and track line readiness, staffing models, and expected vs. actual performance during validation
Ensure proper data collection (cycle time, yield impact, rework loops) to feed into product/process decisions
Maintain and validate labor standards against real production conditions
Drive opportunities to reduce indirect labor, improve operator utilization, and optimize staffing models
Actively support RCCA activities tied to capacity shortfalls, delivery misses, or inefficiencies
Provide data-driven insights during internal and customer-facing reviews
Ensure consistency in time studies, line layouts, process maps, and capacity models across the site
Drive adherence to global IE standards while adapting to site-specific needs
Develop accurate labor and cycle time assumptions based on actual 16th St capabilities
Partner with program and finance teams to ensure quoted models reflect floor realities
