Job description

Job responsibilities

• Partner with key stakeholders to capture and forecast team space demands, and collaborate side-by-side with Industrial Engineers (IEs) on proposed space layouts.
• Evaluate incoming space requests and prioritize high-impact needs; critically challenge and validate requests against utilization metrics rather than simply executing them.
• Build capacity models, evaluate production/laboratory constraints, and develop future-state growth scenarios to support manufacturing ramp and R&D pipeline growth.
• Create facility master plans, block plans, and equipment layouts/test fits for warehouse, lab, and production spaces using AutoCAD and other planning tools.
• Build capacity models, evaluate production/laboratory constraints, and develop future-state growth scenarios to support manufacturing ramp and R&D pipeline growth.
• Partner with Facilities to assess, plan, and validate infrastructure requirements including power loads, HVAC, compressed air, process exhaust, networking, and EHS clearances.
• Analyze production/R&D workflows, material flow, lean principles, and physical adjacencies to optimize layout designs and eliminate operational bottlenecks.
• Maintain accurate spatial data and coordinate space planning decisions across Southern California facilities. Collaborate with the Moves, Adds, and Change (MAC) team for seamless implementation, relocation strategies,…
