- Follow and support compliance with GMP, HACCP, NFPA 70E, and OSHA standards
- Contribute to project planning, testing, validation, and startup activities
What You Bring
- Degree or technical certification in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or a related field
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in automation and controls within manufacturing environments
- Working knowledge of PLC/HMI programming and industrial automation platforms
