Their engineering teams visit customer sites, observe manufacturing processes and prepare a 3‑D conceptual design of the equipment or system to meet client’s requirements. Their engineering teams design, build, and install one work cell or a complete automation system in various facilities. They focus on automated systems for manufacturing environments with processes such as assembly, testing/inspection, material handling, welding, equipment control, robotic vision and packaging systems. Most of their customers work in heavy manufacturing or automotive industries.

• Machine design (minimum of 5 years) preferably with an automation/robot integrator.
• 3d design; Solidworks preferred (Solidworks macro knowledge would be a plus)
• Mechanical aptitude when dealing with machined parts, problem solving, and ability to be hands‑on if needed. Understand tolerances and equipment assembly and fit up.
