The Impact You'll Make

Are you a manufacturing engineer who is passionate about building the smart factory of the future? As our new Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will do more than just improve existing processes; you will design, develop, and implement the automation and digital solutions that will redefine our operations.

This is a role for a true technical owner. You will have engineering accountability for your designated manufacturing areas, acting as the go-to expert for everything from advanced robotics and PLC programming to data analysis and process optimization.

You will be a key driver of our Industry 4.0 journey, using your unique blend of software development and mechanical engineering skills to solve complex challenges and make a tangible impact on our productivity, quality, and cost-competitiveness.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Design, develop, and implement cutting-edge automation solutions, integrating robotics, PLCs, and HMIs to enhance productivity and quality on the factory floor.
  • Act as the lead technical problem-solver for your areas, using data analysis and your hands-on expertise to resolve complex manufacturing challenges.
  • Use your software development skills in languages like VB.Net, C#, and Python to create custom programs and interfaces that connect our machinery to our MES.
  • Program and integrate a wide variety of manufacturing equipment, including PLCs (RSLogix), torque tools, laser markers, and vision systems.
  • Lead cross-functional projects to justify, select, and implement new capital equipment, driving the business case for the next generation of our technology.

What We're Looking For
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related automation field, with at least 2 years of hands-on engineering experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Strong experience with automation and PLC programming (such as RSLogix, Automation Direct, or similar).
  • Proficiency in at least one object-oriented programming language (VB.Net, C#, Python) and experience with SQL databases.
  • Familiarity with CAD software (like AutoCAD or SolidWorks) for designing fixtures and layouts.
  • A proactive, hands-on problem-solver with a passion for continuous improvement and a deep curiosity for new technology.

What You'll Get From Us
  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  • You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
  • We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
  • You’ll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, 401k matching, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
