Overview: Our Manufacturing teams are the gatekeepers who ensure our groundbreaking products meet the standards of innovation and performance we pride ourselves on. From the engineers who design large-scale production systems and cutting-edge quality assurance tools to the hands-on associates who manage our massive inventory flow, they make up a diverse group of behind-the-scenes team members dedicated to the success of our organization. Responsibilities: Designing and scaling industrial automation systems requires continuous optimization to eliminate production bottlenecks, reduce equipment downtime, and lower manufacturing costs. Modern automated environments depend on complex integrations of PLC/HMI/SCADA controls, 3D CAD modeling, and advanced robotics across diverse business lines. This role solves critical manufacturing inefficiencies, establishes standardized operational procedures, and drives end-to-end deployment of semi- and fully-automated equipment to maximize throughput and product quality. What Success Looks Like (Objectives): * Design, validate, and optimize manual and automated manufacturing processes to improve cycle times, product quality, and throughput while minimizing downtime * Implement PLC, HMI, and SCADA control systems along with sensors, instrumentation, and advanced robotics to automate workflows across key business lines * Create detailed 3D CAD designs, control panel layouts, test fixtures, and electrical schematics for automated equipment * Develop standardized process documentation, including SOEs and SOPs, and collaborate with maintenance technicians to establish planned maintenance procedures * Leverage AI tools and predictive analytics to optimize equipment diagnostic workflows, streamline CAD design iterations, and improve automated process reliability * Lead intermediate-to-complex engineering projects from concept through deployment while ensuring compliance with technical and safety standards Qualifications: Core Skills and Competencies (What you'll bring): * Critical experience managing industrial automation projects, controls engineering initiatives, and process optimization programs * Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software such as AutoCAD and SOLIDWORKS to design control systems and test fixtures * Deep understanding of PLC, HMI, SCADA systems, industrial networks, sensors, motor controls, and continuous improvement methodologies like Lean Manufacturing * Strong skills in technical writing, cross-functional team collaboration, mentoring junior engineering staff, and problem solving under minimal direction * Practical AI Application skills to enhance data analysis, reporting, predictive maintenance modeling, and control sequence optimization Minimum Requirements: * Minimum Education: Bachelor's degree (B.S.) in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Systems, or Manufacturing Engineering * Minimum Experience: 3-5 years of experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or automated manufacturing environments * Required Technical Skills: Must have at least 3 years of experience with: * PLC, HMI, and SCADA control systems, sensors, instrumentation, and robotics * 3D CAD software such as AutoCAD or SOLIDWORKS for controls, fixtures, and schematic designs * Standard process documentation development (SOEs/SOPs) and Lean Manufacturing continuous improvement techniques Physical Demands: * Frequently required to stand, walk, sit, and work directly alongside manufacturing equipment for long periods * Ability to lift up to 45 lbs and perform hands-on work with tools, control cabinets, and machinery * Specific vision abilities required to inspect intricate components, interpret technical drawings, and perform detailed wiring or mechanical adjustments Work Environment: * Split between an office setting and a dynamic manufacturing environment with moving mechanical equipment, automated systems, and moderate noise levels * May require working in non-temperature-controlled areas within plant environments Visa sponsorship not available for this role
