We need people who have hands on experience building the 2D and 3D Factory layout models. Most widely used tool is AutoCAD/Autodesk platform.
Key words for Layout- Factory Layout, Plant Layout, System Layout, Production Layout, Factory Site Design
Software used- AutoCAD 2D/3D, Microstation, FactoryCAD, Autodesk Factory Design Utilities, Autodesk Inventor, Revit.
We need candidates with 5 to 10 years of experience who can quickly work in the tool and deliver the layouts. They should have experience with building whole factory layouts.

Job Description:
The Layout Engineer will be responsible for end-to-end site and factory layout management,
including building-level and campus-level planning. This role focuses on designing, optimizing,
and scaling manufacturing facilities by integrating production systems, material flow, warehouse
operations, and site infrastructure into a cohesive and efficient layout. The ideal candidate will
combine industrial engineering expertise, data-driven analysis, and cross-functional leadership to
support large-scale manufacturing growth.
Key Responsibilities-

• Lead factory layout design across manufacturing lines, warehouse/storage areas,
• material flow, people flow, and ancillary/support spaces
• Develop long-term site master plans to support phased capacity expansion and future
• scalability
• Define and implement layout governance and standards, including change
• management, visual factory standards, drafting standards, and layout processes
• Create and maintain block layouts and detailed 2D/3D layouts aligned with Plan of
• Record (POR) and business requirements
• Design and optimize end-to-end material flow, including inbound, internal logistics
• (WIP), and outbound finished goods flow
• Own and manage overall site layout, including building placement, external logistics
• flow (truck movement, dock doors, yards), utilities, and infrastructure planning
• Optimize dock utilization, yard flow, and transportation interfaces to improve
• logistics efficiency at the site level
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain,
• Facilities, Construction, EHS) to align on layout requirements and ensure seamless
• execution
• Perform data-driven analysis to optimize space utilization, flow efficiency, labor
• productivity, and cost
• Develop and integrate PFEP (Plan for Every Part) into layout decisions, including
• storage strategy, packaging, and line-side delivery
• Define and track layout performance metrics, including flow distance, aisle utilization,
• space density, throughput, and bottlenecks
• Support capacity planning and modeling using OEE, cycle time analysis, and
• throughput simulations
• Drive factory densification initiatives by eliminating non-value-added movement and
• improving layout efficiency
• Support installation, commissioning, and layout validation during site construction and
• production ramp-upTranslate complex layout and operational data into clear, executive-level insights to
• support strategic decisions

Basic Qualifications-

• Bachelor s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing
• Engineering, or related field
• 7 years of experience in site/factory layout planning, industrial engineering, or
• manufacturing systems
• Experience in large-scale manufacturing environments (e.g., automotive, battery, energy,
• or heavy industry)
• Strong understanding of site planning, material flow, and facility design principles
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience in greenfield site development and large-scale factory ramp-up
• Proven experience in site master planning, including yard design, dock strategy, and
• infrastructure planning
• Hands-on experience with PFEP, warehouse design, and material handling systems
• (AGVs, AMRs, conveyors)
• Proficiency in layout tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or similar 2D/3D design software
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim) for factory and logistics modeling
• Strong knowledge of Capacity Model and Labor industrial engineering methodologies
• (OEE, line balancing, takt time, cycle time analysis)
• Experience working with construction and facilities teams on site execution and
• infrastructure integration
• Familiarity with safety, environmental, and regulatory considerations in site design

Key Skills & Competencies-

• Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills
• Ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects across site and factory levels
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence stakeholders from shop floor
• to executive leadership
• Systems-thinking mindset with attention to detail
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth env.
