Key Responsibilities Manages multiple project components or independently oversees complex portions of larger automation initiatives. Leads small to mid-sized projects within their engineering discipline. Applies advanced knowledge across one or more automation or engineering domains to support team and organizational objectives. Operates as an experienced professional capable of working independently with minimal direction. Collaborates with production teams and leadership to drive continuous improvement in automated processes. Communicates technical concepts clearly to engineering peers, operations personnel, and leadership. Works effectively with internal teams and external suppliers to resolve automation challenges. Incorporates customer or stakeholder requirements into system designs and project plans. Troubleshoots and resolves intermediate-level issues with existing automation systems. Partners with operators, technicians, and vendors to diagnose and correct system malfunctions. Reads and interprets engineering documentation including schematics, drawings, datasheets, and technical reports. Implements operating procedures, resolves system issues, and provides technical guidance to support safe and efficient operation. Provides training and ongoing support for automated equipment and manufacturing systems. Prioritizes work based on evolving operational needs and project requirements. Creates schematics, mechanical layouts, and work instructions for projects ranging from simple upgrades to full system builds. Sources components and prepares specifications for materials, equipment, and automation hardware. Uses engineering design tools and software to model, simulate, and document automation solutions. Electrical / Controls Focus (if applicable) Programs and troubleshoots PLCs, industrial PCs, HMIs, drives, robots, and related control elements. Integrates hardware and software components within control systems. Designs and works with low‑voltage and high‑power electrical elements. Uses standard electrical tools to build, modify, and troubleshoot control panels and automation equipment. Preferred familiarity with comparable platforms such as: PLCs, motion control systems, HMIs Industrial safety devices and sensors Industrial robots (e.g., ABB, Fanuc or similar) HMI/SCADA software (e.g., Ignition, FactoryTalk View or similar) Mechanical Focus Integrates mechanical subsystems within automated equipment. Designs and fabricates mechanical components for automation cells. Uses standard mechanical tools to build, repair, and troubleshoot automated systems. Preferred familiarity with: Welding and fabrication 3D printing and prototyping Sheet metal and weldment design CAD and CAM software Scope Requires deep technical knowledge and substantial hands‑on experience. Solves complex problems and introduces new perspectives using established engineering methods. Actively expands technical and operational expertise. Works independently with limited guidance. Serves as a resource and mentor for less experienced engineers. Represents a senior‑level engineering role that may serve as a long‑term career level.
