- Work extensively with servo motors, drives, and multi-axis motion control systems
- Develop and optimize motion profiles for high-speed packaging applications
- Support commissioning, startup, and integration of new production equipment
- Troubleshoot automation and controls issues impacting uptime and throughput
- Partner with operations and maintenance teams to improve line performance
- Modify and enhance HMI interfaces for better operator usability and visibility
- Travel to support equipment installs, vendors, and other facilities (25–30%)
Automation Engineer Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in automation and controls within manufacturing
- Strong hands-on experience with motion control and servo systems (required)
- Experience with one or more of the following platforms:
- Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)
- Siemens
- Mitsubishi
- Experience working on high-speed packaging equipment
- Strong PLC programming skills (ladder logic, structured text, etc.)
- Ability to troubleshoot complex automation issues in a production environment
- Comfortable working on the production floor and working cross-functionally
