Résumé du poste

Zipline’s Manufacturing Engineering team seeks a Production Equipment Controls Engineer for Coop, Zipline’s South San Francisco site, to develop and integrate controls and electrical interfaces for production fixtures, workstations, and automated equipment on the factory floor.

You will translate assembly and test requirements into sequencing, interlocks, sensor interfaces, and fault diagnostics while partnering with mechanical and test teams to meet safety and throughput targets.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Proficiency in GD&T, tolerance analysis, and mechanism design.
• Hands-on experience commissioning equipment on the factory floor.

Responsabilités

• Develop and validate equipment sequences, interlocks, sensor interfaces, and fault‑recovery behavior against assembly requirements and safety criteria.
• Diagnose control and electrical faults during build, acceptance, and production ramps; coordinate changes with mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers.
• Own controls and electrical‑interface delivery for production equipment from requirements through vendor build, commissioning, and production release; partner with mechanical engineers on CAD and integrated equipment acceptance.
• Deliver measurable improvements: increase tooling availability above 95%, reduce manual assembly cycle time by 20–40% per station, and improve FPY by at least 10% in 6–12 months.
• Develop and integrate the controls for alignment fixtures, press and torque tooling, ergonomic operator stations, poka‑yoke devices, handling/transport fixtures, and test rigs tied to build specs.
• Perform on‑line debugging and rapid root‑cause analysis during launches and ramp phases; be prepared for off‑hours commissioning.
• Coordinate tooling standards with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Test Engineering, and Field Operations.
• Work with vendors: write RFQs, evaluate proposals, verify QC, and perform acceptance testing.
