- Building systems that improve precision, consistency, and throughput
- Developing control logic and automation software across PLC and industrial platforms
- Integrating sensors, actuators, and machine vision into production-ready solutions
- Identifying and delivering process improvements directly on the shop floor
- Taking ownership of automation reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
Qualifications
- Proven hands-on delivery of automation or robotic systems in an industrial environment
- A background in robotics, automation, mechatronics, or a related Engineering Qualification
- Practical experience with PLCs, control systems, or industrial automation
- Ability to write and understand automation software using Python, C++, or similar
- Experience integrating sensors, actuators, or vision systems
