You Aspire To: 

• Design, develop and manage automation and controls projects from initial concept to on-line commissioning and proof of rate capability, and hand-off to operational teams.
• Develop and submit budgets with ROIs for automated systems.
• Work and adapt to schedules and priority timelines to ensure project success.
• Drive specifications for deliverables with design engineers (internal & external) to define build and test criteria and production operation requirements.
• Trade machine design options for flexibility vs risk, cost and schedule comparisons
• Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and carefully balance product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost and lead-time limits.
• Architect, write, and debug PLC code with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable and reusable for manufacturing applications.
• Implement (ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding all robotics and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for complex machinery while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting.
• Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic and fluid plumbing.
