Job Title: Industrial Engineer

Department: Automation Engineering / Fulfillment Design

Role Overview:

We are seeking a highly analytical Industrial Engineer to drive process design, labor standards, and ergonomic optimization within automated warehouse environments. This role bridges human-system interaction ensuring efficient, safe, and consistent performance across operations where robots and people work together.

The ideal candidate combines a deep understanding of industrial engineering principles (e.g., MOST, MODAPTS, or time-motion studies) with practical experience in fulfillment center operations. This person will establish the engineering backbone of labor standards, validate system capacities, and guide facility design for clean, efficient material flow.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain labor standards using MOST, MODAPTS, or similar methodologies to quantify human task effort and cycle time.
• Conduct ergonomic and work-cell analyses to improve safety, efficiency, and repeatability in pick, pack, and replenishment operations.
• Partner with Automation, Layout, and Operations Engineering teams to design workstations, flow zones, and interfaces between humans and robots.
• Model and analyze material flow, bottlenecks, and task allocation to achieve optimal throughput and balance across manual and automated areas.
• Establish standard work documentation, task breakdowns, and motion studies to inform staffing models and productivity tracking.
• Support facility design reviews, ensuring spatial layouts and robot traffic promote seamless material movement and worker safety.
• Provide data-driven insights to influence capacity planning, layout revisions, and process improvement initiatives.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelors degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline.
• 37 years of experience in distribution, warehouse automation, or manufacturing environments.
• Strong expertise in time-study, MOST/MODAPTS, ergonomics, and process optimization.
• Familiar with AutoCAD / Visio / process modeling tools.
• Working knowledge of automation technologies (AMRs, conveyors, GTP systems, robotics) and their impact on labor allocation.
• Excellent analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, operations, and safety teams to implement measurable improvements.
