Industrial Engineer Automotive Mirrors & Engineered Glass Were looking for an Industrial Engineer to support a high-precision automotive mirrors and engineered glass manufacturing environment. This role requires someone who understands the full engineering value chain - combining elements of industrial engineering, process engineering, manufacturing engineering, and exposure to product engineering. Youll play a key role in optimizing glass cutting, coating, bonding, assembly, and testing operations while ensuring quality, consistency, and strong production efficiency. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys improving workflows, integrating automation, driving lean initiatives, and supporting new product introduction in a high-tech, high-volume environment. If you have an industrial engineering background and enjoy working handson across multiple engineering functions, this role offers strong technical depth and the opportunity to influence how next-generation mirror and glass technologies are manufactured. Salary/ Compensation: $115-130k + Medical/ Dental What Youll Be Doing: Process Engineering & Optimization Analyze and optimize process flow for glass cutting, coating, curing, assembly, and inspection. Improve yield, reduce cycle time, and maintain dimensional accuracy within tight tolerances. Work Measurement & Standardization Conduct time and motion studies and develop detailed SOPs for glass processing, handling, and assembly operations. Equipment & Automation Integration Work with equipment suppliers and maintenance teams to install, qualify, and optimize automation, handling systems, curing ovens, and coating systems. Quality & Optical Performance Improvement Partner with quality engineers to enhance surface finish, reduce distortion and haze, and improve coating adhesion through continuous improvement and root-cause analysis. Layout & Facility Optimization Design and refine plant layouts for coating lines, assembly stations, inspection cells, and handling flows to improve efficiency and reduce material risk. Material Flow & Inventory Control Optimize movement of substrates, coatings, and assemblies using JIT, Kanban, and lean materialflow systems. Cost Reduction & Lean Implementation Lead lean initiatives targeting scrap reduction, rework elimination, and improved equipment uptime, especially within controlled-environment areas. Data-Driven Performance Analysis Analyze process data including yield, cycle time, OEE, SPC metrics, and throughput to identify trends and improvement opportunities. Safety, Ergonomics & Compliance Ensure compliance with safety standards related to glass, coatings, chemicals, and precision assembly. Improve ergonomics for operators working in inspection and assembly areas New Product Introduction (NPI) Support R&D and design teams in industrializing new mirror and glass technologies and translating prototypes into stable, repeatable production processes. What You Bring A degree in Industrial Engineering (preferred) or Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering with strong exposure to industrial engineering principles. Experience working across multiple engineering areas: industrial, process, manufacturing, and some product engineering. Strong understanding of high-volume manufacturing methods, especially in glass, coatings, display, or precision component environments. Handson experience with lean principles, time studies, standard work, process mapping, and layout optimization. Experience with statistical tools such as Minitab, Power BI, Excel for SPC, yield tracking, and data analysis. Familiarity with MES/ERP systems for production monitoring and traceability. Working knowledge of coating technologies, vacuum deposition systems, curing operations, or optical component manufacturing is an asset. Ability to drive cost savings, reduce scrap, improve cycle time, and enhance equipment performance. Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with crossfunctional teams including design, quality, operations, and automation. A handson, practical approachcomfortable on the production floor solving realtime issues while also contributing to higherlevel engineering planning.
