Job Summary

At Nidec, we are a global leader in electric motors, alternators, and rotating equipment. Our manufacturing operations rely on a highly synchronized and efficient global supply chain. We are seeking a hands-on, execution-focused Material Handling & Packaging Designer to optimize the material pipeline for our heavy industrial manufacturing lines. This is a 100% on-site role at our Lexington, TN facility. You will work directly on the production floor and partner closely with our on-site Supply Chain Project Manager to track, execute, and deliver continuous cost-savings and logistics improvement projects. Your technical focus will bridge the gap between our domestic and cross-border suppliers, warehouse logistics, and the production floor—ensuring heavy payloads arrive without damage and are presented efficiently to assembly line operators.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Project Execution & PM Collaboration: Partner directly with the on-site Supply Chain Project Manager to scope, track, and execute packaging and material-handling improvement projects. Drive engineering timelines to ensure milestones are met on time and within budget.
  • Cross-Border Supplier Packaging Validation: Evaluate, modify, and approve inbound packaging specifications from domestic and international/cross-border suppliers (e.g., Mexico). Review industrial testing data (vibration, drop, environmental) to guarantee heavy components—including large castings, precision stampings, rotors, and stators—arrive safely without transit damage.
  • Corrosion & High-Density Protection: Implement specialized packaging standards—such as Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) for ocean/long-distance freight, anti-static (ESD) protection, and custom edge protection—to keep high-density components rust-free and free from deformation during handling and extended warehouse storage.
  • Warehouse-to-Line Kitting Design: Utilize CAD software to architect custom material-handling layouts, returnable container systems (totes/steel racks), and specialized internal dunnage (thermoformed trays, heavy-duty foam) to kit and sequence parts efficiently from the warehouse to production.
  • Lean Lineside Presentation: Optimize how heavy components are presented to assembly line operators. Design gravity-fed flow racks and customized kitting carts that maximize operator ergonomics, optimize part orientation, eliminate unboxing waste, and minimize lineside footprint.

Required Qualifications

  • Work Mode: Must be able to work 100% full-time on-site at our Lexington, TN facility. (Remote/Hybrid options are not available).
  • Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in structural packaging design, material handling, or industrial logistics within an automotive assembly, Tier-1 automotive supply, or heavy machinery manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Skills: High proficiency with 3D CAD modeling software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Artios CAD) for designing kitting layouts, custom heavy-duty skids, and dunnage configurations.
  • Lean & Testing Knowledge: Direct experience working in a Lean production environment (JIT flows). Strong familiarity with ISTA packaging compliance testing (e.g., ISTA 1A, 3A, 6-Amazon) for heavy or palletized industrial loads.
  • Project Coordination: Demonstrated capability to follow through on logistics project timelines and coordinate effectively across multi-functional teams (Supply Chain, Quality, Production).

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have)

  • Language Skills: Bilingual in English and Spanish is highly preferred to effectively support cross-border supplier communication, validation, and logistics.
  • Education: Associate's or bachelor’s degree in industrial design, Packaging, Supply Chain Logistics, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical field experience).
  • Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
