- 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)
