The Industrial Engineering Lead at GM Bedford GPS provides technical and leadership direction for industrial engineering across the plant, with a strong focus on die casting and machining operations . This role partners closely with production, maintenance, quality, and HR/LR to implement lean manufacturing systems , improve throughput, and ensure standardized work and manpower plans support both current operations and future programs.

What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities)

Plant Industrial Engineering Leadership

  • Serve as the primary IE leader for Bedford GPS, setting direction for industrial engineering strategies that support safety, quality, throughput, and cost objectives.

  • Provide day‑to‑day guidance and indirect leadership to plant industrial engineers; coach team members on methods, tools, and GM Global Manufacturing System (GMS) standards.

  • Lead IE participation in site capacity planning, people‑power planning, and productivity improvement plans.

Lean Systems, Throughput & Productivity

  • Develop, recommend, and implement changes that improve manufacturing processes, labor utilization, and product quality in casting, machining, and assembly areas.

  • Analyze throughput, OEE, and bottleneck data to identify constraints; lead Throughput Improvement Process (TIP) activities and structured problem‑solving.

  • Optimize sequence of operations, line balance, and workflow to support takt time, ergonomic, and staffing targets.

  • Create and maintain crew plans and headcount models to ensure resources are properly allocated and utilized effectively.

Standardized Work, Documentation & Launch

  • Own and oversee the accuracy of IE documentation, including Assembly Process System (APS), Standard Time Data System (STDS), Standard Operation Sheets (SOS), routings, AutoCAD layouts, and labor reporting (Global Workbook / GWB) .

  • Lead development and validation of standardized work for new and existing products, ensuring integration of mandatory sequence steps, KPCs, ergonomic requirements, and quality controls.

  • Support new program launches and engineering changes by:

    • Participating in core teams and manufacturing readiness reviews.

    • Providing process layouts, manpower plans, and timing inputs to program teams.

    • Coordinating pre‑production trials, run‑at‑rate, and ramp‑up IE deliverables.

Master Scheduling, Analytics & Metrics

  • Develop, monitor, and analyze Manufacturing Master Schedules to track progress, assess risk, and highlight performance gaps; apply critical path methods for launch and major change activities.

  • Build and maintain IE‑owned metrics dashboards (productivity, labor efficiency, throughput, ergonomic risk, schedule adherence) and drive closure of gap‑to‑target action plans.

  • Provide clear, data‑driven insights and recommendations to plant leadership, production staff, and maintenance teams.

Safety, Ergonomics, and Employee Relations

  • Champion safe work practices and ergonomic improvements in all IE studies and layout changes; partner with Safety and HRLR on compliance and risk reduction initiatives.

  • 5+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment (casting, machining, or automotive strongly preferred).

  • 2+ years of supervisory, lead, or strong informal leadership experience (leading projects, cross‑functional teams, or IE teams).

  • Demonstrated experience with:

    • Lean manufacturing tools (e.g., value stream mapping, line balancing, standard work, 5S, waste elimination).

    • Industrial engineering fundamentals (time studies, work measurement, line balancing, methods engineering).

    • Advanced Microsoft Excel and data analysis; comfort with large datasets and visualization for decision making.

  • Proven ability to influence cross‑functional teams (production, maintenance, quality, HR/LR) and drive change.

  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present complex analyses and recommendations clearly to hourly and salaried audiences.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

  • 2+ years of experience specifically in die casting and/or machining industrial engineering within automotive or a unionized manufacturing environment.

  • Prior experience as a Lead/Staff Industrial Engineer or similar role with responsibility for mentoring/supervising other engineers.

  • Demonstrated experience and/or knowledge of GM Global Manufacturing System (GMS) and related IE standards, including APS, STDS, and GWB.

  • Experience with AutoCAD or similar tools for industrial layouts and material flow design.

  • Direct experience planning and executing new product launches or major process changes in a plant environment.

  • Background in ergonomics, productivity systems, or structured continuous improvement (e.g., Six Sigma, Kaizen leadership).
