Jr. Complexity Engineer

We are looking for an analytical, detail-oriented Jr. Complexity Engineer to help manage product variety, standardize components, and reduce unnecessary operational and manufacturing complexity across our portfolio in Mexico. In this role, you will support engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing teams by analyzing Bills of Materials (BOMs), tracking product configurations, and identifying opportunities to simplify processes and lower costs without compromising customer value. 

Key Responsibilities

• Portfolio & Variant Analysis: Analyze product configurations, SKU proliferation, and variant structures to identify low-value or redundant complexity across product lines.
• BOM & Part Standardization: Review Bills of Materials (BOMs) to promote component commonality, part reuse, and modular design principles in collaboration with R&D and Product Engineering.
• Cost & Operational Impact Assessment: Evaluate how product variations impact manufacturing cycle times, tooling, inventory levels, and procurement costs.
• Change Management Support: Assist in tracking Engineering Change Notices (ECNs/ECOs) and ensure new product introductions (NPIs) adhere to complexity reduction guidelines.
• Data & KPI Reporting: Build and maintain dashboards and reports tracking complexity metrics (e.g., active part counts, SKU growth, variant ratios) to support management decision-making.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with Product Management, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality teams to balance market customization needs with operational efficiency.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience: 0–2 years of experience (internships or co-ops included) in product engineering, manufacturing engineering, lean manufacturing, BOM management, or continuous improvement.
• Language: Fluent in Spanish; intermediate-to-advanced English proficiency (B2/C1+) for cross-functional communication with global engineering and operations teams.
• Technical Proficiency: Strong Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, data modeling); familiarity with ERP/PLM systems (e.g., SAP, Teamcenter, Windchill) and CAD basics.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to structure complex datasets, identify root causes, and apply Lean or Six Sigma principles to streamline processes.

• Exposure to Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA), modular architecture, or value engineering (VAVE).
• Familiarity with BI visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau) or SQL/Python for data analysis.
• Experience in [insert specific industry, e.g., automotive, aerospace, electronics, appliances].
