Industrial Engineer / Value Stream Planner (human)

Your mission & challenges

As an Industrial Engineer, you will shape the future of our manufacturing processes and actively contribute to building the core elements of the NEURA Production System.

You will work at the interface between development, production, quality, logistics, and plant engineering – with the goal of designing production systems as well as value and data streams that are efficient, stable, and future-ready.

Your Objective:
To develop digital, efficient, robust, and scalable manufacturing concepts through lean principles, data-driven value stream and process analyses, and innovative technical approaches.

Your main tasks:

• Manage, optimize, and stabilize value streams – from raw material logistics to the finished robotic system.

• Support product and process approvals during series ramp-up and manage technical changes.

• Analyze production and work processes, identify bottlenecks, and develop sustainable improvement measures.

• Apply lean methodologies and value stream analyses to systematically reduce waste in material, information, and data flows.

• Support the introduction of new methods and robot-assisted automated production systems, including the necessary digitalization steps and IT processes (MES, data analytics).

• Design material, information, and data flows; conduct time studies and layout analyses; and derive stable standards from your findings.

• Collaborate closely with development, quality, production, and logistics to establish effective end-to-end process solutions.

What we can look forward to

• A completed Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

• Several years of experience applying lean methodologies and conducting value stream analysis/design, including information and data flows, to continuously improve and optimize large-scale production of mechatronic products.

• A strong foundational understanding of manufacturing, value stream analysis, and industrial engineering methods; REFA or MTM certifications are considered an advantage.

• A hands-on mentality combined with a structured and analytical working style.

• The ability to actively drive and implement change processes.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in interdisciplinary teams.

• Excellent written and spoken German and English skills.
