Staff Manufacturing Engineer, Automation Equipment

Job Description:

We are seeking a Staff Manufacturing Engineer to lead the design and implementation of production automation equipment for advanced manufacturing. This engineer will own the technical scope from process definition and analytical sizing through concept development, detailed design, system integration, FAT, installation, SAT, production ramp, and handoff.

What you'll do:

• Develop analytical models for takt time, cycle time, OEE, capacity, buffers, labor, utilities, reliability, and overall automation-system performance.
• Research and qualify advanced automation technologies that improve manufacturability, process capability, throughput, safety, and maintainability.
• Lead process definition, concept development, and detailed engineering design for automation cells, tooling, fixtures, robot end effectors, motion systems, material handling, guarding, and service access.
• Develop RFQs, equipment and functional specifications, interface requirements, procedures, verification plans, and FAT/SAT acceptance protocols.
• Define integrated mechanical, electrical, controls, robot, vision, servo-motion, recipe, traceability, fault-recovery, and Digital Factory interface requirements.
• Own automation projects from design reviews through risk-mitigation planning, build, debug, installation, commissioning, ramp, and production handoff.
• Execute PFMEA, control-plan development, MSA, capability studies, fault-recovery testing, FAT, SAT, and rate demonstrations.
• Troubleshoot equipment and process failures, implement corrective actions, and improve quality, availability, MTBF, MTTR, and lifecycle support.

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
• 10+ years designing, developing, integrating, or commissioning industrial automation equipment.
• Strong mechanical design experience with machinery, tooling, fixtures, GD&T, tolerance analysis, servo mechanisms, pneumatics, hydraulics, guarding, and machine safety.
• Working knowledge of Siemens PLCs, HMIs, FANUC robots, PROFINET and PROFIsafe, machine vision, servo systems, and manufacturing-data interfaces.
• Proficiency with Siemens NX, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar CAD tools and the ability to review electrical and controls documentation.
• Experience leading system integrators and complex automation projects from concept through production handoff while managing technical scope, schedule, risk, and supplier performance.
• Working knowledge of applicable OSHA, NFPA, UL, ANSI, and ISO Standards.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with automated electromechanical assembly, servo-press, calibration, functional-test, hydraulic-test, or endurance-test systems.
• Experience with automated cutting, forming, welding, cleaning, leak-test, or pressure-test equipment.
• Experience with robotic coating, mixing and dispensing, cure-control, or inspection systems.
• Experience with automated drilling, fastening, sealant dispensing, metrology, or large-assembly handling,
• Experience with Digital Factory interfaces, serialized genealogy, and equipment-data integration.
