Industrial Engineer IIIThis position requires that you must be a US Citizen for consideration and meet all Federal Contractor employee requirements. Nomad GCS does not support the H1B Visa for this position.Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad GCS) is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide variety of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters.
We seek a candidate that is self-inspired to learn and demonstrates a high degree of customer service while positively contributing to our team.The Industrial Engineers (IEs) at Nomad GCS are responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing scalable production systems that support Nomad's primary vehicle/product assembly operations. This includes the development of main vehicle assembly lines, creation of feeder cells that support those lines, and the continuous improvement of material flow, labor utilization, and production efficiency. IEs focus on system-level production architecture — ensuring that the right work happens at the right station, at the right time, with the right resources.
Being able to learn on-the-fly is required. All solutions must adhere to or exceed Nomad's standards of safety, efficiency, quality, and scalability.Career Growth: Advancement is based on measurable improvements to throughput, cost, scalability, and production stability. Industrial Engineers progress through five levels based on demonstrated capability in:Assembly line designFeeder cell integrationCapacity modelingProduction flow architectureLean implementationLeadership and organizational impactIndustrial Engineers operate primarily within Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering (Team 4), collaborating closely with:ISG - Standards & Modularity (Team 1)Production LeadershipSupply ChainQuality AssuranceProgram ManagementTeam 4 contains both IEs and MFEs.
These roles are differentiated in that the IEs are to focus on how we build it efficiently and at scale, whereas the MFEs are to focus on how we build the product correctly and repeatably.Basic Knowledge Desired – All Levels:Industrial engineering principles (time studies, work measurement, line balancing, takt time analysis)Lean manufacturing tools (VSM, 5S, Kaizen, SMED, standard work)Facility layout and material flow optimizationCapacity planning and production modelingERP/MRP systemsData analysis (Excel required, others encouraged)Production economics and cost analysisUnderstanding of fabrication, welding, mechanical assembly processesStrong cross-functional communication skillsDemonstrated alignment with Nomad Core ValuesCore Responsibilities – All Levels:Design and implement scalable vehicle/product assembly linesDevelop feeder cells to support main line flowPerform line balancing based on takt time and demand forecastsConduct time studies and labor utilization analysisAssist in developing standard work documentationOptimize material presentation and flow to point-of-useAnalyze and improve production capacity constraintsSupport layout redesigns to improve throughput and safetyDrive continuous improvement initiativesAnalyze production data to identify bottlenecksSupport new product introductions with line integration planningCollaborate with Manufacturing Engineers to ensure manufacturable designsTravel as neededPerform additional duties as assignedPhysical Demands:Ability to stand and sit for extended periodsOccasionally required to climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawlManual dexterity to operate office and manufacturing equipmentAbility to lift and/or move up to 25 pounds frequently and up to 50 pounds occasionallyAbility to speak and hearVision requirements include close and distance vision, peripheral vision and depth perceptionAbility to work in office, shop, and vehicle environments as neededAbility to work safely around energized systems when requiredMust be able to travel as needed on occasionWorking Environment:Combination of office, production floor, vehicle-based, and exterior environmentsExposure to manufacturing noise, electrical equipment, and testing environmentsPPE required when entering production or testing areasExposure to household and commercial chemicalsEveryday workwear must be business casual/smart casual, appropriate for the office environment, including when traveling and working off-siteQualifications & Experience:Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering or related field – ABET accredited preferredEquivalent education and experience may be consideredExperience with production system designExperience conducting time studies and line balancingProficiency in software for modeling (mathematical and physical) as required for this positionExperience with ERP/MRP systemsValid driver's license in good standingNomad GCS is an equal opportunity employer, (EOE,) and voluntarily follows affirmative action guidelines.
