Layout Engineer -Industrial Engineering & Factory & Site Design

• 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
