At Ford Motor Company, we're seeking a Global Industrial Engineer to join our Manufacturing team. As a key member of our team, you'll help build the world-class, state-of-the-art smart vehicles the world expects from us. Your primary responsibility will be to support forward model and capacity studies for all milestones, including Direct Labor and Indirect Labor in all areas.

Your duties will include leading new model labor optimization efforts to achieve labor targets, through benchmarking (internal and external), target setting, tracking process change, and replicating across programs. You'll also support the cycle line layout planning process and virtual build events with future model operator allocations and time studies, and work with plants to support physical build events and program launches.

To minimize and/or offset labor impacts, you'll conduct labor blitzes, plant tasks/projects, and identify design/process opportunities. Additionally, you'll assist with operator allocations, cycle line layouts, plant rebalances, line speed changes, time studies, throughput issues, and launch support.

You'll accurately maintain and deliver required IE documentation (Labor Glidepath, Program 1-Pager, Labor by Department, Plant Line speed, APT Assessment, etc.). Furthermore, you'll develop and document standardization of methods and procedures for the organization, drive and implement labor efficiency through deployment of global IE process, tools and standards, and work with plants to complete and evaluate time studies using MODAPTS as the measurement tool for work standards.

Collaboration and communication will be key aspects of this role, as you'll work closely with manufacturing engineering, material handling, ergonomics, and/or plant personnel. Domestic travel up to 25% is required.

We're looking for a candidate with a Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Industrial Engineering or a related field, and 1 year of experience in the job offered or a related occupation. You'll need 1 year of experience with each of the following skills:

Providing industrial or manufacturing engineering support

Verifying direct and indirect labor requirements for new programs by analyzing physical builds using time studies and converting that into operator allocations

Collaborating with cross-functional teams to determine direct and indirect labor requirements

Performing manufacturing processes
