Job description

Requisition ID76759-Posted11/03/2026

The Engineer - Industrial Automation will support the assessment, design, development, integration and commissioning of industrial automation solutions across manufacturing operations. The role combines hands‑on knowledge of robotics, mechanical automation, controls, vision, material handling and industrial connectivity to improve productivity, quality, safety and equipment reliability. The engineer will work with cross‑functional teams, equipment suppliers and system integrators to deliver scalable automation solutions from concept through FAT, SAT, ramp‑up and handover.

• \" Assess manufacturing processes and benchmark robotics, cobots, automated material handling (AGV/AMR), automated storage, machine vision and flexible automation cells.
• Analyze workflows and identify automation opportunities that improve throughput, quality, safety and equipment utilization while reducing manual effort and downtime.
• Translate operational needs into user requirements, technical specifications, cell concepts, layouts, mechanical designs, control requirements and equipment connectivity/data requirements.
• Support end‑to‑end automation project execution covering concept development, design reviews, supplier coordination, build, integration, pre‑FAT, FAT, SAT, commissioning, ramp‑up and handover.
• Develop and validate mechanical automation elements, including robot cells, end‑of‑arm tooling, fixtures, conveyors, part nests, sensor and actuator integration, guarding and safety interlocks.
• Support robot, PLC, HMI/SCADA, motion‑control and vision‑system integration, programming, troubleshooting and cycle‑time optimization.
• Perform offline simulation and validation for reach, collision, cycle time, layout and tooling feasibility, as applicable.
• Support integration of automation equipment with industrial networks, IIoT platforms, MES and data‑acquisition systems for work‑order, routing, traceability, quality and performance data.
• Prepare and maintain schematics, specifications, standard operating procedures, validation protocols, commissioning checklists, code documentation and training material.
• Ensure automation solutions comply with applicable machine‑safety, risk‑assessment, electrical and industrial standards, including LOTO and required documentation.
• Collaborate with plants, cross‑functional engineering teams, equipment suppliers and system integrators to achieve safe, timely and cost‑effective delivery.
• Evaluate emerging automation technologies, develop proof‑of‑concept demonstrators and contribute to reusable standards, templates and lessons learned for deployment across plants.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Industrial Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
3+ years of industrial experience in the development, integration or commissioning of manufacturing automation solutions.

Skills:
