  • Partner with manufacturing, quality, operations, and product engineering teams to identify automation opportunities and production constraints.
  • Support business case development, ROI analysis, and roadmap planning for automation investments.
  • Communicate project status, risks, and design decisions to engineering leadership and operations stakeholders.
  • Evaluate emerging automation technologies, robotics platforms, sensors, and AI‑enhanced tools for potential adoption.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives to increase reliability, reduce cycle time, and improve manufacturability.
  • Champion automation safety, risk reduction, and compliance with all industry standards.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers in robotics, controls, machine design, and project execution.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field.
  • 12+ years of experience in automation engineering, with significant hands-on work in custom automation machinery.
  • Cumulative GPA of 3.00 for all degrees earned

  • Strong understanding of industrial safety standards (ISO, IEC, ANSI, NFPA).
  • Proven ability to drive cross-functional technical discussions and influence strategic decisions.
  • We offer generous relocation support to help make your transition as seamless as possible.
