Job Description
We are currently seeking an Industrial Engineering & Operational Excellence Specialist to join our dynamic team in Tognana, Italy.

- Execute Industrial Engineering analyses to unlock capacity and productivity (time studies, work measurement, line balancing, takt/capacity calculations, labour optimization, layout & material flow improvements).
- Support ramp‑up and stabilization of new and existing assembly, sub‑assembly and test lines: readiness checks, bottleneck removal, standard work creation, training support, and performance stabilization.
- Translate OPS leadership priorities (cost‑out, capacity increase, throughput, lead time, quality losses) into clear improvement charters with targets, timing and owners.
- Apply Lean toolset to eliminate waste, improve flow and drive structured problem solving using Six Sigma / DMAIC and root‑cause tools with a control mechanism to prevent recurrence.
