Industrial Engineer
About The Position
Broadcom is seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer to use operations analysis, Lean manufacturing techniques, and data science to optimize manufacturing workflows, improve yield, and scale fab capacity. The role is based at the company’s 24/7 high-volume manufacturing facility in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania, where it will address increasing production volumes and operational complexity. The position aims to improve predictability for factory outs and throughput, establish operational execution controls, and develop robust dynamic models to support continuous fab scaling. The Industrial Engineer works with production supervisors, process engineers, and fab management to execute throughput improvement projects from inception through maturity.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field with at least 5 years of relevant experience, or a master’s degree with at least 3 years of experience.
- Demonstrated experience applying Lean manufacturing, 5S, Kanban systems, line balancing, and time/motion studies in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
- Ability to build dashboards, capacity models, trigger systems, and predictive tools using analytical software such as JMP, Tableau, SQL, Python, Excel, AI, or PowerBI.
- Strong analytical abilities to interpret complex manufacturing data.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional reporting.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with cleanroom operations, electronics manufacturing, or semiconductor wafer fab processes.
Responsibilities
- Conduct operational research, process-flow assessments, and time studies to identify constraints, eliminate bottlenecks, and standardize cycle times across manufacturing areas.
- Lead Lean manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen, and Kanban initiatives to reduce waste and streamline Work-In-Progress movement.
- Drive initiatives to improve predictability for production outs and line throughput amid rising product volumes and operational complexity.
- Generate, maintain, and refine capacity models and discrete-event process simulations to forecast tool utilization, product cycle times, and output limits.
- Design and deploy visual trigger charts, operational dashboards, and run/wait/hold metrics to provide actionable real-time feedback to shift supervisors and engineering teams.
- Extract and compile operational datasets from SECS/GEM equipment interfaces, MES, and databases to analyze throughput variations and develop predictive control metrics.
- Collaborate with production supervisors, process engineers, and fab management to execute throughput enhancement projects from inception through maturity.
Benefits
- Discretionary annual bonus
