The Opportunity
NEOTech builds the electronics that go into high-reliability products - and our Carlsbad operation is ready for an Industrial Engineer who wants to make a visible difference, fast. This is a full-time, onsite contract role for 6 to 12 months. You will own the numbers behind the floor: how long things take, how lines are balanced, how material moves, and how we get more throughput without adding chaos.
You will not be buried in a cubicle writing reports nobody reads. You will be on the production floor with operators, supervisors, and a seasoned cross-functional team, and your recommendations will turn into real changes.
What You Will Own
- Time & capacity: Run time studies, set standard cycle times, and build labor standards that production actually trusts.
- Line balancing: Analyze capacity for lines, work centers, and critical equipment; balance lines to takt time and demand.
- Layouts that get built: Create and optimize floor layouts in AutoCAD (or similar) - then watch them get built.
- Flow & waste: Hunt down bottlenecks and waste in workflow and material flow; drive root cause and corrective action.
- Lean in action: Lead and support Lean, 5S, and visual management initiatives that move productivity, quality, and throughput.
- Metrics that matter: Track OEE, labor utilization, cycle time, and throughput - and turn the data into decisions.
- New product launches: Help launch new products by documenting processes, estimating labor, and validating production readiness.
- Standard work: Keep work instructions, routing sheets, and process maps clean and current; support ergonomic and workstation improvements.
