Industrial Engineer

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Industrial Engineer with deep expertise in warehouse design, process simulation, and supply chain automation. This role is critical in helping us design innovative warehouse solutions for our clients, including greenfield and brownfield facilities, robotics and automation integration, and WMS implementation.

Key Responsibilities:

Warehouse Layout & Design:

• Design new and retrofit layouts for distribution centers, fulfillment centers, cross-docks, etc. Optimize space utilization, flow paths, storage strategies, and racking systems.

Simulation & Modelling:

• Use FlexSim or equivalent tools to model warehouse processes, simulate throughput, bottlenecks, labor productivity, and automation ROI.
• Run sensitivity and what-if analyses to guide data-driven decision making.

Tools & Documentation:

• Create detailed engineering drawings using AutoCAD, Revit, or similar tools.
• Work closely with architecture and construction teams during design reviews.

Automation & Robotics Integration:

• Evaluate and recommend appropriate warehouse robotics (AGVs, AMRs, sorters, pick-assist, etc.). Partner with robotics vendors and internal teams to develop automation roadmaps and deployment strategies.

WMS & Tech Enablement:

• Collaborate with tech teams and clients on WMS selection, configuration, and process mapping.
• Document warehouse process flows and ensure alignment with WMS capabilities.

Client Engagement & Collaboration:

• Participate in discovery workshops, site visits, and client calls to gather requirements and present recommendations.
• Create executive-level presentations and engineering documents.

Experience and Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Engineering, or related field.
• 4-6 years of experience in warehouse design and supply chain projects, preferably in consulting or solutioning environments.
• Strong proficiency with FlexSim, AutoCAD, and Revit.
• Solid understanding of WMS systems and warehouse processes (inbound, outbound, picking, slotting, returns, inventory).
• Experience with warehouse automation and robotics, either from implementation or vendor evaluation side.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, global client-facing environment.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

• Process Cycle Time - Average time taken to complete a production or service cycle.
• Throughput Rate - Units produced or tasks completed per hour/day.
• Capacity Utilization - Percentage of available production capacity actually used.
• OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) - A combined measure of availability, performance, and quality.

Nice-to-Have:

• Exposure to data analysis tools (Excel, Power BI, Python, etc.)
• Familiarity with warehouse IoT, vision systems, or ML-driven optimization.
• Prior experience working with US-based logistics or eCommerce clients.
