Job Description
About Us
We are a cutting-edge electronics manufacturing company specializing in high-precision instrumentation for the test and measurement industry. Our solutions empower engineers, researchers, and innovators across the globe. As we expand our automation capabilities, we're seeking a talented Manufacturing Engineer with expertise in software, robotics, and industrial automation to join our dynamic team.
What You’ll Do
As a Manufacturing Engineer in Software, Robotics & Automation, you’ll focus on introducing practical automation into products and processes that were originally designed for manual or non-automated environments. Our products span a varied spectrum of complex assembly requirements, and you’ll help translate that variability into scalable bespoke automation approaches. You’ll assess what can be automated safely and cost-effectively, define the right architecture and interfaces, and deliver robust, creative and innovative solutions that can be supported on the factory floor.
Key Responsibilities
- Assess existing products/processes and identify automation opportunities, constraints, and required design changes
- Design, develop, and integrate automation solutions (robotics, tooling, test/inspection) into existing manufacturing workflows
- Define interfaces between product, fixtures, and control software; partner with design and hardware teams to enable automation readiness
- Implement sensing and inspection (e.g., vision, force/torque, basic analytics) to improve quality and reduce manual steps
- Validate and troubleshoot automation in production: safety, cycle time, yield, uptime, and maintainability
- Create and maintain requirements, commissioning/validation records, and user documentation for long-term support
What We’re Looking For
Required Skills & Experience
- Proficiency in one or more automation-focused languages/tools (e.g., Python, C/C++, LabVIEW) and version control
- Multiple engineering disciplines – Mechanical / Electronic / Electrical.
- Hands-on experience integrating industrial automation (robotics/automated assembly solutions) into manufacturing. Evidence of past projects.
- Working knowledge of controls integration (PLC/HMI, I/O, sensors/actuators, pneumatics)
- Strong understanding of assembly and test manufacturing, including process development, validation, and continuous improvement
- Strong problem-solving, continuous improvement and communication skills; able to translate factory needs into clear technical requirements
Bonus Skills
- Experience with commissioning and validation (IQ/OQ/PQ or equivalent) and risk assessment (e.g., PFMEA)
- Experience with motion systems and/or machine vision for inspection and error-proofing in a production setting
- Exposure to manufacturing data collection (traceability, OEE, basic dashboards) and system connectivity where needed
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge technology in a high-impact industry
- Be part of a collaborative, innovation-driven team
- Competitive salary and benefits
- Opportunities for professional growth and training
- Flexible work environment and supportive leadership
