Industrial Engineer Jobs in Illinois

Industrial Engineers in the manufacturing engineering industry play a crucial role in designing efficient systems that integrate workers, machines, materials, information, and energy to create a product or provide a service.

They are often responsible for quality control, statistical process control, productivity improvement, material handling, and operations planning.

Important skills for Industrial engineers include strong analytical skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. Knowledge of computer-aided design (CAD) technology, as well as an understanding of systems and processes, is essential. They should be certified in Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or a similar certification. Furthermore, a bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or a related field is typically required. Prior to becoming an Industrial Engineer, a person may work as a Manufacturing Engineer, Process Engineer, or Quality Engineer.
