## Description

The Layout Engineer will be responsible for end-to-end site and factory layout management, including building-level and campus-level planning. This role focuses on designing, optimizing, and scaling manufacturing facilities by integrating production systems, material flow, warehouse operations, and site infrastructure into a cohesive and efficient layout. The ideal candidate will combine industrial engineering expertise, data-driven analysis, and cross-functional leadership to support large-scale manufacturing growth., * Lead factory layout design across manufacturing lines, warehouse/storage areas, material flow, people flow, and ancillary/support spaces

 * Develop long-term site master plans to support phased capacity expansion and future scalability
 * Define and implement layout governance and standards, including change management, visual factory standards, drafting standards, and layout processes
 * Create and maintain block layouts and detailed 2D/3D layouts aligned with Plan of Record (POR) and business requirements
 * Design and optimize end-to-end material flow, including inbound, internal logistics (WIP), and outbound finished goods flow
 * Own and manage overall site layout, including building placement, external logistics flow (truck movement, dock doors, yards), utilities, and infrastructure planning
 * Optimize dock utilization, yard flow, and transportation interfaces to improve logistics efficiency at the site level
 * Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Facilities, Construction, EHS) to align on layout requirements and ensure seamless execution
 * Perform data-driven analysis to optimize space utilization, flow efficiency, labor productivity, and cost
 * Develop and integrate PFEP (Plan for Every Part) into layout decisions, including storage strategy, packaging, and line-side delivery
 * Define and track layout performance metrics, including flow distance, aisle utilization, space density, throughput, and bottlenecks
 * Support capacity planning and modeling using OEE, cycle time analysis, and throughput simulations
 * Drive factory densification initiatives by eliminating non-value-added movement and improving layout efficiency
 * Support installation, commissioning, and layout validation during site construction and production ramp-up
 * Translate complex layout and operational data into clear, executive-level insights to support strategic decisions
