An Automation Engineer develops and implements testing strategies and toolsets with the goal of increasing process automation. Establishes appropriate measures to validate and report on software quality. Designs and implements test automation to improve system reliability and stability. Designs and supports frameworks for test infrastructure. Provides automation expertise and mentoring.
The ideal candidate will have a background working in a manufacturing environment with a strong knowledge of automation technologies (including PLCs, robotics, and process control systems) along with proven experience in industry converting manual processes to automated. Proficiency in engineering software and tools (e.g., CAD, simulation software) is necessary to succeed in this position. The Automation Engineer must monitor and evaluate the performance and reliability of automated systems, making necessary adjustments to ensure optimal operation. This, of course, would require you to stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in automation and industrial engineering. Innovation while remaining compliant with technical, quality, and legal requirements is a necessity. Your success is measured through the reliability of our automation systems (minimal downtime), increased production, and implemented CI projects. As a member of the Engineering team, the Automation Engineer will also be responsible for automation of production lines and integration of test equipment and to own and close corrective actions related to our automated systems.
