We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Industrial Engineer with a strong background in semiconductor factory automation and advanced manufacturing systems. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who can bridge the gap between equipment, process, and data to drive highly efficient, automated production environments.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in semiconductor fabrication along with proficiency in Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS), such as Overhead Hoist Vehicles (OHV) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), as well as simulation and layout tools like FlexSim, AutoCAD, or equivalent.

This position is onsite in our Plantation, FL office. Relocation support may be available for qualified candidates. Up to 25% domestic and international travel may be required to support cross-site collaboration, vendor engagement, and project execution.

Responsibilities:

Optimize equipment utilization, WIP flow, and capacity planning.

Partner with R&D, Quality, and Production teams to transition new processes into high-volume manufacturing.

Support Kaizen activities, standard work documentation (SOPs, work instructions), and GMP compliance.

Conduct time studies, value stream mapping, and OEE analysis to identify inefficiencies and drive improvements.

Perform root-cause investigations and troubleshoot complex manufacturing and automation issues.

Work directly with equipment vendors and contractors to implement solutions and support tool performance.

Translate complex technical data into clear, executive-ready summaries and presentations.

Experience:

B.S. in Industrial Engineering or related field.

7+ years of experience in semiconductor or optics manufacturing, including automation projects.

Proven experience with AMHS / OHV / AGV systems or related semiconductor automation technologies.

Proficiency in AutoCAD for layout and space optimization.

Experience with FlexSim, Siemens Plant Simulation, or other discrete event simulation tools.

Strong knowledge of SPC, MSA, CPK, OEE, and DOE methodologies.

Six Sigma Green Belt certification or higher.

Skilled in data analysis tools such as JMP, Minitab, or Python for process modeling and statistical analysis.

Hands-on cleanroom experience in semiconductor or optics environments.

Familiarity with wet cleans, lithography, etching, or vacuum process tools.

Experience developing automation layouts and data-driven process control strategies.

Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

It's exciting if you also have:

Strong analytical and systems-level problem-solving skills.

Project coordination abilities in fast-paced technical environments.

Deep understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement principles.

High level of initiative, ownership, and comfort navigating ambiguity.

Experience working in high-tech, multicultural, and cleanroom environments.
