What you will do:

• Design and implement automation solutions for new automated production equipment including customized fixtures and tooling.

• Develop equipment specifications and deploy automated equipment aligned to the sites automation roadmap (mechanization data automation and digital shop-floor tools).

• Monitor existing automated processes and implement improvements to increase capacity reduce scrap/reject rates and enhance line safety using data-driven methods.

• Execute equipment and process validations and document results through technical protocols and formal reports.

• Perform failure analyses on automated production equipment (e.g. fault tree analysis failure mode and effects analysis) and drive corrective actions to restore and improve performance.

• Create and maintain operating procedures standard work and visual work instructions for automated equipment and process changes.

• Train production teams on new automation and updates to existing equipment and advance-train maintenance technicians and engineers who service automated systems.

• Coordinate project execution by leading periodic design/project reviews supporting capital expenditure requests and managing supplier interactions and bidding activities with machine shops/equipment vendors.
