Full Job Description

The role contributes to the development and concepting of automation solutions by working across mechanical and controls disciplines to ensure designs are practical, integrated, and executable in a production environment. The Senior Automation Engineer supports projects from early design review through implementation and ramp-up, ensuring systems transition effectively from concept to stable production.

This is a hands-on execution role supporting critical capital equipment projects. The position focuses on system startup, debugging, and performance stabilization while working within established mechanical and control system standards.

This role is designed as a growth path into a Principal Automation Engineer position, with future expectations to take on increasing responsibility in robotics, vision systems, and system-level integration strategies.

Working knowledge of mechanical systems, fixturing, and equipment functionality
Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis capability
Ability to diagnose issues across controls, mechanical, and process interactions
Experience with robotics and vision systems with interest in developing expertise
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in manufacturing, mechanical, electrical, or controls engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
7+ years of experience in industrial automation, equipment integration, or controls engineering.
Hands-on experience with equipment commissioning and production startup is required.
