Industrial Engineer

Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev’s prefabricated closed-panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on-site while delivering a more sustainable and higher-quality final product than traditional construction. As a new subsidiary of Lennar, Veev leverages the strength and scale of its parent company while maintaining the speed and disruptive approach of its roots as a Silicon Valley-based startup. Veev has developed a vertically integrated approach that involves multidisciplinary collaboration across real estate, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, and construction.

This role plays a key part in advancing the mission at Veev by supporting production with new equipment solutions and working to improve safety and processes efficiency by improving existing factory infrastructure. As a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, your work will directly support Veev’s ability to scale operations and deliver innovative, high-quality housing solutions.

The Role

As an Industrial Engineer, you will be a key part of a small, agile, well-resourced, and innovative Manufacturing Engineering team. Our team at Veev has the broad mission of supporting the production team as a complement to the Process Engineering, Production Quality, EHS, R&D and Maintenance teams. This role requires a project leader who is ready and able to collaborate cross-functionally to bring high-quality equipment solutions to a variety of production needs.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working with an even mix of office-work, project management, purchasing, research, data gathering and analysis, etc.) and work on the factory floor (understanding the day-to-day tasks of our assemblers and machine-operators, equipment trials, modification, and commissioning, hands-on problem-solving to keep the production line running, etc.)

Key Responsibilities

1. Material Flow & Storage Optimization

• Lead advanced warehouse layout and slotting initiatives to maximize cubic utilization and throughput in a high-volume, heavy-material environment.
• Design, optimize, and maintain finished goods storage systems to ensure efficient material flow and warehouse utilization.
• Develop and maintain robust capacity planning models to forecast storage needs and support production scaling
• Design and optimize end-to-end material pathways—from receiving through production to shipping—minimizing touches, transit time, and bottlenecks.
• Design and manage external logistics loops, optimizing transportation routes and inbound/outbound site delivery schedules
• Engineer ergonomic, point-of-use lineside presentation using smart racking, visual management, and innovative storage solutions tailored to construction manufacturing.
• Inventory Accuracy & Replenishment Systems

2. Inventory Accuracy & Replenishment Systems

• Develop and refine robust PFEP strategies and replenishment systems (Kanban, Min-Max, JIT) to balance service levels with lean inventory.
• Champion cycle counting, root-cause analysis, and lineside audits to achieve and sustain exceptional inventory accuracy.
• Partner cross-functionally to eliminate discrepancies and build systemic solutions that prevent recurrence.

3. NetSuite & Process Implementation

• Systems Integration: Act as the operational subject matter expert (SME) for NetSuite ERP/WMS, ensuring all physical material movements are accurately mirrored in the system.

• Training & Change Management: Train warehouse associates and production staff on new NetSuite workflows and standard materials practices to ensure high adoption rates.

Must Have Technical Skills & Certifications

• Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar) for warehouse and facility layout designs.
• Strong data analytics skills (Excel/Advanced formulas, SQL, or PowerBI) to analyze inventory turns, capacities, and variances.
• Deep understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles (5S, Value Stream Mapping, Kanban, Six Sigma). Lean or Six Sigma Green Belt is a plus.

Education & Experience

• Degree: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Engineering, Operations Research, or a closely related technical field.
• Experience: 3–5+ years of experience in an industrial engineering, warehousing, or manufacturing environment.
• Systems Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience working extensively with NetSuite WMS/ERP (or equivalent Tier 1 WMS/ERP systems with a strong understanding of how to configure NetSuite material workflows).

Soft Skills

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence both frontline associates and executive stakeholders.
• A "gemba-focused" mindset—comfortable spending significant time on the warehouse and production floors troubleshooting processes.
