Job description

THIS IS A MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION ENGINEER ROLE. PLEASE READ THE JOB DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING.

Key Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience working on automation and robotics applications for mass production applications.
• Experience designing, deploying, qualifying, supporting, and project managing automated manufacturing process lines that incorporate machine vision (including cameras, lighting, and programming), motion control (including actuators, motors, pneumatics) and sensors, with expertise in most of those component groups.
• Ability to reconcile DFM feedback with design goals, anticipate risk and identify mitigation opportunities, drive root cause/corrective action and process optimization activities to closure efficiently with proper design of experiment (DOE) practices and detailed data analysis using statistical methods such as process capability, correlation, GR&R, etc. and software such as JMP, Matlab, etc.
• Ability to articulate complex, technical concepts and issues in a clear and concise manner to audiences of mixed backgrounds.

Desired Qualifications

• Expertise working on vision-guided assembly, precision dispense, and laser welding applications in a mass production environment.
• Expertise with one or more major brand six-axis industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB, etc.) and PLCs/IPCs (Mitsubishi, Beckhoff, Siemens, etc.) along with associated programming languages.
• Expertise with motion control components, machine vision components, and sensors.
• Extensive experience using CAD to review and design mechanical components and complex assemblies, and create proper engineering part drawings using GD&T practices.

Education:

• BS/MS in engineering (mechanical, manufacturing, automation, mechatronics, robotics, or equivalent).
