Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Engineer the automation and equipment inside the lines: cells, fixtures, and machines specified, bought, and proven.
  • Own equipment from URS through SAT: vendor selection, FAT, install, and handoff to production.
  • Integrate equipment into the line's controls and data: cycle counts, faults, and OEE flowing automatically.
  • Own uptime and cycle-time gains after handoff, not thrown over the wall.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've specified and launched production equipment or automation cells.
  • You've run FATs that caught what mattered before shipment.
  • You're hands-on at the machine: sensors, drives, and program logic.
  • You've integrated equipment data into OEE or MES reporting.
  • You close out installs completely: training, spares, and documentation.
  • Bonus: PLC programming. Robotics integration. Machine safety standards. CMMS and spares strategy.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
