Manufacturing / Industrial Engineer Powertrain

Role Overview: As an Industrial Engineer in this role, you will support powertrain manufacturing programs by developing and implementing industrial engineering strategies related to labour planning, line balancing, ergonomics, capacity analysis, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with manufacturing, program management, and global IE teams to meet program cost, quality, and delivery targets. Your strong exposure to engine machining and assembly processes, industrial engineering tools, and lean manufacturing practices is essential for success in this position. Key Responsibilities: - Develop new program capacity strategies, including operating patterns, cycle time targets, and line balancing. - Define launch curves to support program milestones, build ahead plans, and launch cost estimation. - Develop and maintain direct, indirect, and salaried labour staffing plans to meet program labour targets. - Create and maintain labour glide paths aligned with program and business requirements. - Support engineered Jobs Per Hour (JPH) re-rates and post-launch changes. - Provide industrial engineering support for new powertrain programs (engine and transmission). - Support manufacturing launch activities, program reviews, dashboards, and key metrics. - Lead line labour planning for machining and assembly operations. - Track labour performance, off-standard labour, and improvement actions. - Conduct time studies, MODAPTS analysis, workstation assessments, and ergonomic studies. - Perform VA / NVA analysis, waste identification, and continuous improvement projects. - Support Kaizen activities and plant improvement initiatives. - Lead benchmarking studies to improve labour efficiency and capacity utilization. - Use Global Study Process Allocation System (GSPAS) or equivalent tools for time studies and allocations. - Support development and maintenance of industrial engineering standards, documentation, and training materials. - Apply digital tools, simulation techniques, and data analysis to optimize manufacturing performance. - Explore AI / ML based approaches where applicable to improve planning, productivity, and decision making. - Interface with global capacity planning and industrial engineering teams. - Support documentation, audit, and governance of engineered labour metrics across programs. - Work in a team-based, cross-functional environment with manufacturing, quality, and program teams. Qualifications Required: - Bachelor's degree in Engineering in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, Production, or Automotive. - 4-6 years of experience in automotive manufacturing, preferably with OEMs. - Strong knowledge of engine machining and assembly processes. - Hands-on experience in industrial engineering, time studies / MODAPTS, line balancing and cycle time optimization, ergonomics and workstation assessments, and lean manufacturing principles. - Proficiency in manufacturing digital tools and data analysis. - Strong analytical, problem-solving, and computer skills. - Good communication and presentation skills. - Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
