Job Description

Are you an Automation Engineer who enjoys making machines do exactly what humans don’t want to? Good news — we have multiple roles where you can keep production running smoothly and feel like the unofficial plant wizard.

What you might be doing (depending on the role):

  • Taming PLCs, robots, and control systems so they behave

  • Troubleshooting automation like a tech detective

  • Boosting throughput and reducing downtime (aka becoming everyone’s favorite person)

  • Partnering with fellow humans across Engineering, Production, and Maintenance

  • Writing documentation that you’ll secretly hope people actually read

You’ll be a great fit if:

  • You’ve ever said “Did you try cycling power?” non-ironically

  • PLCs, robotics, and automation systems are your happy place

  • You enjoy solving problems that mysteriously appear at 2 a.m.

  • Manufacturing automation makes your brain light up
