Experience with CAD or facility layout software, such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, DraftSight, or equivalent tools.
Ability to independently manage multiple priorities, coordinating facility, utility, and manufacturing projects across Engineering, Operations, Facilities, Maintenance, Quality, EHS, and external vendors.
Experience operating within highly controlled manufacturing environments, with knowledge of equipment qualification, process validation, change control, and quality system requirements.
Experience with project or business planning tools such as Visio, Project, PowerPoint, Excel or equivalent tools.

Nice To Haves

Experience applying of Lean Manufacturing tools, including 5S, value stream mapping, standard work, line balancing, waste reduction, and root cause analysis preferred.

Responsibilities

Develop, update, and maintain plant layouts, production line layouts, workstation layouts, and space utilization plans to support new equipment installations, line moves, capacity expansions, transfers, and continuous improvement projects.
Create and maintain process flow maps, value stream maps, material flow analyses, and future-state designs to identify bottlenecks, eliminate waste, improve flow, and optimize space, staffing, equipment utilization, and material movement.
Coordinate utility requirements for manufacturing equipment and production areas, including compressed air, electrical, vacuum, water, drainage, HVAC, exhaust, cleanroom infrastructure, and other site-specific facility needs.
Lead alongside Facilities, Maintenance, EHS, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Automation, and Operations to ensure plans support equipment installation, qualification, validation, safety, ergonomics, and long-term maintainability.
Support manufacturing footprint, line relocation, equipment duplication, and capacity expansion projects by developing layout concepts, defining equipment and utility requirements, evaluating constraints, documenting alternatives, and recommending implementation plans.
Lead or support time studies, capacity analyses, labor studies, line balancing, takt time analysis, and workstation optimization to improve productivity, throughput, cost, and operator experience.
Support change control activities by providing layout drawings, process flow documentation, utility impact assessments, implementation rationale, and supporting documentation as required.
Ensure plant layout and process flow changes comply with applicable company procedures, safety requirements, quality system expectations, environmental requirements, and regulatory standards.
Lead cross-functional layout reviews and communicate project status, risks, constraints, decisions, and open actions to stakeholders and leadership.
Maintain accurate documentation of current-state and future-state layouts, equipment locations, process flows, utility requirements, and implementation status.
Apply Lean Manufacturing principles, 5S, visual management, standard work, and continuous improvement methods to improve production flow, reduce waste, and support a more efficient manufacturing environment.
Support commissioning, installation, qualification, and production readiness activities for new or relocated equipment and processes.
Perform other related duties as required to support business needs.
