2D Layout Engineer

As a 2D Layout Engineer you will be responsible for;

• Leading factory and site layout design activities across manufacturing lines, warehouses, storage areas, material flow systems, people flow, and support spaces.
• Developing long-term site master plans to support capacity expansion, operational scalability, and future manufacturing growth.
• Creating and maintaining detailed 2D and conceptual 3D layouts aligned with business requirements, production plans, and facility constraints.
• Designing and optimizing end-to-end material flow, including inbound logistics, work-in-process (WIP), warehouse operations, and outbound finished goods movement.
• Managing overall site planning activities, including building placement, transportation routes, dock operations, yard design, utility infrastructure, and logistics interfaces.
• Establishing and maintaining layout governance standards, drafting procedures, change management processes, and visual factory standards.
• Collaborating with Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, Facilities, Construction, and EHS teams to ensure successful project execution and alignment.
• Performing data-driven analysis to improve space utilization, workflow efficiency, labor productivity, throughput, and operational costs.
• Developing and integrating PFEP (Plan for Every Part) strategies into facility layouts, storage systems, packaging methods, and line-side delivery processes.
• Defining and tracking key layout performance metrics, including flow distances, aisle utilization, space density, throughput, and bottleneck identification.
• Supporting capacity planning initiatives through OEE analysis, cycle time studies, line balancing, and throughput modeling.
• Driving factory densification and continuous improvement efforts by reducing non-value-added movement and improving operational efficiency.
• Supporting installation, commissioning, layout validation, and production ramp-up activities for new and existing facilities.
• Presenting layout strategies, analytical findings, and business recommendations to technical teams and executive stakeholders.

Qualifications;

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 7+ years of experience in factory layout planning, site planning, industrial engineering, or manufacturing systems design.
• Experience supporting large-scale manufacturing environments such as automotive, battery, energy, semiconductor, or heavy industrial operations.
• Strong knowledge of factory layout design, site planning, facility infrastructure, and material flow optimization.
• Demonstrated experience with site master planning, building placement, yard design, dock strategies, and logistics infrastructure planning.
• Hands-on experience with PFEP (Plan for Every Part), warehouse design, inventory storage strategies, and material handling systems.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, or similar layout and facility design software.
• Experience using simulation and modeling tools such as FlexSim or equivalent platforms.
• Strong understanding of industrial engineering methodologies including OEE, line balancing, takt time, cycle time analysis, labor planning, and capacity modeling.
• Experience collaborating with construction, facilities, and engineering teams during site development and infrastructure implementation.
• Knowledge of safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements related to facility and site design.
• Strong analytical, project management, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Ability to translate operational and engineering data into actionable recommendations for stakeholders at all organizational levels.
