The successful candidate will work on a variety of projects ranging from concept through to final implementation, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and customers.
Responsibilities:
• Design Development: Create conceptual and final designs for robotic automation systems and industrial machine tools, leveraging SolidWorks for 3D modeling and assemblies. Ensure that designs meet customer specifications and internal requirements. Own all mechanical designs, including debug, troubleshooting, and redesign, regardless of initial designer, to ensure project success.
• Project Leadership: Direct all Mechanical Engineering disciplines on automation projects and lead a team of Mechanical Engineers on large projects.
• Cross Department Collaboration: Work closely with departments such as controls, operations, and safety to gather inputs and deliver effective automation solutions.
• Machine Safety Risk Assessments: Lead and drive the development of safety risk assessments for automation systems and machine tools, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
• Control System Development: Collaborate with Controls Engineers to develop comprehensive Sequence of Events (SOE) and timing charts for automated systems and machinery.
• Concept and Design Reviews: Lead internal reviews of design concepts and final designs with internal teams and end customers to ensure project alignment and resolve technical issues.
• Documentation and Manufacturing Support: Generate and manage all necessary project documentation (e.g., prints, bills of materials) and release them to manufacturing and purchasing departments. Support the construction, assembly, and testing phases of projects. Maintain task status on mechanical engineering checklists, including APP process and design checklists, to ensure project alignment."
• Project Execution: Monitor project progress, ensuring that designs are executed within scope, on time, and within budget. Provide technical support across all stages of project development, from design to delivery. Attend weekly project status meetings to collaborate with the project team and ensure alignment.
• Automation Process Improvement: Identify, prioritize, and implement automation solutions to optimize existing processes and increase operational efficiency in machine tools and robotic work cells.
• Customer Interaction and Technical Support: Act as a key point of contact for customers, providing technical support, resolving issues, and offering expert guidance on automation solutions.
• Collaboration with Cross-functional Teams: Work alongside mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and other stakeholders to support the overall design, testing, and implementation of automation systems. Participate in regular meetings with support staff and team members to address project issues and updates
• FMEA and Safety Assessments: Conduct and contribute to Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and other safety assessments to ensure the reliability and safety of automation systems.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay engaged in the latest trends in robotic automation and industrial machine tools to drive innovation and improvements in design and performance.
Qualifications:
Experience: 5+ years of experience designing and developing industrial machine tools, automation systems, and robotic work cells. Strong experience with the integration of robotic systems into manufacturing processes is required.
• Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks 3D parametric modeling and assemblies, with experience using SolidWorks PDM Professional for data management.
• Education: Bachelor's or Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, or a related field.
• Machining Knowledge: Practical knowledge of tool and die design, machining processes, and industrial machine tools is a plus.
• Software Proficiency: Advanced skills in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Teams.
Desired Soft Skills:
• Strong organizational skills and high attention to detail, ensuring that designs meet both internal and customer standards.
• Excellent time management and project planning abilities to meet deadlines and manage competing priorities.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative team and independently when required.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact confidently with customers and colleagues alike.
