Job Description Our client is seeking a highly experienced Production Development Specialist to support the development of a new Robotics Campus. The role focuses on creating and maintaining detailed 3D production and logistics concepts within the factory environment using SolidWorks and other advanced CAD tools. The successful candidate will play a key role in factory layout planning, production flow optimization, logistics development, and coordination of engineering activities. This position requires a strong understanding of assembly manufacturing processes, material flow management, factory simulations, and digital factory solutions. The consultant will collaborate with multiple stakeholders, lead layout-related initiatives, support project teams, and contribute to the development of efficient production and logistics solutions within a modern manufacturing environment. Key Responsibilities Develop and maintain factory master plans, ensuring accurate and up-to-date 2D layouts while coordinating modifications across multiple projects. Create and visualize production concepts, logistics solutions, and manufacturing processes using SolidWorks and other 3D CAD platforms. Participate in project discussions as a subject matter expert for factory layouts, production processes, equipment placement, and infrastructure planning. Optimize production and logistics flows through effective material placement strategies, buffer management, and workflow improvements. Support project teams with layout development activities while providing guidance and training on AutoCAD and associated methodologies. Manage and govern layout-related modifications by establishing and implementing structured change and freeze management processes. Integrate updates from construction and facility development projects into factory models, infrastructure documentation, and layout drawings. Design and propose innovative solutions for production equipment, workstations, and manufacturing areas. Lead and coordinate engineering activities performed by offshore teams related to production equipment, 2D layouts, and 3D factory models. Manage factory simulation initiatives, including the development, maintenance, and optimization of production and logistics simulation models. Oversee the evolution of the factory’s "Touch & Feel" standards, ensuring consistency in visual design, signage, markings, and workplace environment guidelines. Act as the primary administrator and superuser for Dalux, coordinating factory models and collaboration environments. Support logistics operations through material flow analysis, material mapping, kit tray development, material presentation strategies, and supply chain optimization within the production environment. Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to translate operational and logistics requirements into practical and efficient factory solutions.
