Description

JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking a skilled and proactive Manufacturing Systems Analyst to lead the integration, optimization, and ongoing improvement of our digital manufacturing systems and production workflows. This role plays a critical part in bridging the gap between our operations and technology teams—analyzing manufacturing processes, identifying inefficiencies, and implementing system-based solutions that drive productivity, reduce waste, and support scalable growth. The ideal candidate has deep knowledge of both manufacturing environments and digital infrastructure, with a passion for using technology to enable data-driven decision-making and operational excellence.

KEY SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in a manufacturing environment, ideally in cabinetry, woodworking, or custom millwork.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and the digital systems that support them.
  • Proficiency in ERP/MES platforms (experience with systems such as Insight, Epicor, or similar is a plus).
  • Hands-on experience with data analysis tools (Excel, Power BI, SQL) and process modeling.
  • Familiarity with system connectivity, network configurations, and industrial automation technologies.
  • Experience with CAD/CAM software and digital production tools is an asset.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Comfortable acting as a change agent within cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
  • Analyze existing manufacturing workflows to identify areas for digital integration, automation, and efficiency improvement.
  • Implement, configure, and maintain manufacturing systems including ERP, MES, and other production-support tools.
  • Actively collaborate cross-functionally with production, IT, engineering, and supply chain teams to align system capabilities with business needs.
  • Design and maintain dashboards, reports, and workflows to enhance real-time visibility and management decision-making.
  • Lead initiatives to digitize manual or paper-based processes and improve shop floor connectivity.
  • Conduct time studies, process mapping, and system gap analyses to inform continuous improvement efforts.
  • Apply lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and other industrial engineering methodologies to improve throughput, quality, and efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot issues related to system integration, data flow, and process bottlenecks.
  • Provide end-user training, documentation (SOPs), and ongoing support to production and system users.
