Find & Apply For Robotics Engineer Jobs in Holland, Michigan

Hyperion Automation is seeking a hands-on Automation Engineering who can combine strong technical credibility with practical day-to-day leadership. This is a player-coach position. You will contribute directly to complex custom automation projects while guiding technical work, reviewing deliverables, coaching team members, and helping the team make timely, well-reasoned decisions. This is a discipline-level technical leadership role without direct reports. The Engineering Manager will retain formal people management, staffing, compensation, department priorities, and overall Engineering accountability. What You Will Do Provide day-to-day technical leadership across controls, robotics, and automation engineering work. Design, program, integrate, test, troubleshoot, and commission complex automation systems. Set routine technical direction for assigned projects and workstreams. Review controls architecture, PLC and HMI programs, robotics applications, electrical documentation, industrial networks, machine-safety functions, test plans, and commissioning-readiness deliverables. Require corrections or pause work that is incomplete, unsafe, insufficiently reviewed, difficult to maintain, or otherwise unready to move downstream. Coach team members through technical challenges, project decisions, prioritization, communication, and execution concerns. Give direct, constructive feedback and help others develop stronger judgment, ownership, and independence. Identify labor drift, technical risk, incomplete deliverables, and execution concerns before they become project surprises. Help the team evaluate technical options, risks, costs, and tradeoffs without allowing routine decisions to stall. Partner with Project Management, Mechanical Engineering, Assembly, Supply Chain, Sales, and clients throughout the project lifecycle. Help improve programming standards, reusable code, templates, testing practices, design reviews, and commissioning readiness. Serve as Project Owner or technical lead on larger, higher-risk controls or robotics work when assigned. What You Bring At least 7 years of progressive experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or robotics. Direct experience delivering complex integrated automation systems in a custom automation, systems-integration, or engineer-to-order environment. Strong hands-on experience with PLC and HMI system design, programming, commissioning, and troubleshooting. Experience leading technical work, reviewing the work of others, coaching team members, and making timely technical decisions. Strong understanding of controls architecture, electrical schematics, I/O systems, industrial networks, sensors, motion control, machine safety, and integrated equipment. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, controls engineering, mechatronics, robotics, or automation, or an equivalent combination of education and directly relevant experience. Ability to communicate directly and constructively during difficult technical or people-related conversations. Willingness to travel for critical project phases, commissioning, technical escalation, and team support, including domestic and occasional international travel. Preferred Experience Advanced proficiency with Allen-Bradley controls platforms. Hands-on experience integrating and programming industrial robots such as FANUC, KUKA, ABB, Yaskawa, or similar platforms. Experience with multiple PLC, HMI, robotics, motion-control, vision, or upper-level integration platforms. Experience improving engineering standards, reusable code, documentation, testing, or design-review processes.
