Position: Industrial Engineer III
Division : Innovative Solutions Group (ISG)
Department : Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering
Status : Full-Time
Nomad GCS is currently seeking a Level III Industrial Engineer. Please note the Level III Expectation in red below.
Overview: Nomad Global Communication Solutions (Nomad GCS) is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide variety of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters. We seek a candidate that is self-inspired to learn and demonstrates a high degree of customer service while positively contributing to our team.
The Industrial Engineers (IEs) at Nomad GCS are responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing scalable production systems that support Nomad's primary vehicle/product assembly operations. This includes the development of main vehicle assembly lines, creation of feeder cells that support those lines, and the continuous improvement of material flow, labor utilization, and production efficiency. IEs focus on system-level production architecture ensuring that the right work happens at the right station, at the right time, with the right resources. Being able to learn on-the-fly is required. All solutions must adhere to or exceed Nomad's standards of safety, efficiency, quality, and scalability.
Career Growth: Advancement is based on measurable improvements to throughput, cost, scalability, and production stability. Industrial Engineers progress through five levels based on demonstrated capability in:
Assembly line design
Feeder cell integration
Capacity modeling
Production flow architecture
Lean implementation
Leadership and organizational impact
Organizational Structure:
Nomad Engineering is organized into Teams and Disciplines within the Innovative Solutions Division.
Teams:
Team 1 - Standards and Modularity: Builds and maintains engineering standards, modules, templates, and rules enabling repeatability and scale.
Team 2 - Design: Executes project-level engineering using established standards and less complex custom configurations.
Team 3 - Advanced: Develops novel systems and resolves first-of-kind engineering challenges.
Team 4 - Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering: Ensures manufacturability, safety, engineering intent, efficiency, and continuous improvement throughout Production.
Disciplines:
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical Engineering
