  • Provide regular updates and reports on project status, milestones, and deliverables to stakeholders, facilitating effective communication and decision-making.
  • Provide training and technical support to manufacturing personnel on the operation and maintenance of automation equipment and systems.
  • Share expertise and best practices in automation technologies with colleagues, fostering a culture of continuous learning and skill development within the organization.
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and company policies related to automation and occupational safety.
  • Conduct risk assessments and safety reviews of automation systems, implementing safeguards and control measures to mitigate hazards and ensure a safe working environment.
  • Education and Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering preferred) or Computer Science.
  • 1-5 years of experience and electrical / automation troubleshooting experience
  • Experience integrating systems into advanced manufacturing processes
  • Work Hours

  • Required Skills

  • Strong electro-mechanical skills with demonstrated experience in the successful implementation of automation and control system integration technologies in manufacturing processes.
  • Able to effectively work with external machine builders and system integrators for detail design, build and integration of later stages of machine system implementation.
  • Strong team player who takes personal ownership for their areas of responsibility.
  • Capable of executing project assignments with minimal supervision.
  • Effective problem solving and decision-making skills, with focus on safety.
  • Desired Skills
