Sr. Industrial Engineer - Manufacturing

About The Team 

The Senior Industrial Engineer – Manufacturing will serve as a strategic leader responsible for designing, building out, and continuously improving our manufacturing production facility. This role partners closely with cross-functional teams to develop scalable production processes, drive facility expansion projects from concept through completion, and ensure our operations meet the rigorous standards required for medical robotic devices. This is a hands-on leadership role with broad ownership of facility infrastructure, production flow, and operational efficiency. 

You are an experienced manufacturing leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments. You combine deep technical expertise with strong project management skills and a passion for building world-class production operations from the ground up. You hold yourself and your teams to high standards, lead with data, and communicate clearly across all levels of the organization. 

 

A Day In The Life Of Our Senior Industrial Engineer – Manufacturing 

• Develop and implement scalable manufacturing processes and workflows for disposables and capital robotic systems, from pre-production through full-rate manufacturing. 

• Own project management for all facility and IE-related initiatives: define scope, create schedules, manage budgets, track milestones, and report status to senior leadership. 

• Provide leadership for planning, design, and build-out of new manufacturing production facilities, including space planning, utility requirements and equipment layout. 

• Conduct line balancing, cycle time analysis, and capacity planning to meet production demand and support NPI (New Product Introduction) programs. 

• Perform workflow and value-stream mapping; identify and eliminate bottlenecks to improve throughput, yield, quality, and cost. 

• Define and validate manufacturing processes in accordance with FDA/ISO requirements for medical device production (IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, process FMEAs, control plans). 

• Lead 6S/Lean transformation efforts across the facility; establish metrics, sustain gains, and build a culture of continuous improvement. 

• Specify, procure, qualify, and integrate capital equipment and material handling systems into the production environment.
