JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Own automation system performance and conduct daily optimization of automated cells to improve cycle time, throughput, quality, and equipment uptime.
  • Develop, modify, test, and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, robot, vision, motion-control, safety, and supporting automation programs.
  • Optimize robot paths, motion profiles, process sequencing, interlocks, alarms, and recovery routines while maintaining safe operation.
  • Use structured root-cause analysis and corrective action to permanently eliminate chronic equipment and process failures.
  • Configure, calibrate, validate, and maintain vision systems, sensors, error-proofing devices, servo systems, and networked industrial devices.
  • Support equipment installation, commissioning, launch, and the first 90 days of stabilization in partnership with the AMA Lead and cross-functional plant teams.
  • Perform offline programming, reach studies, cycle-time simulation, risk assessment, and system validation before production implementation.
  • Manage program revisions through formal backup and version-control practices and maintain clear technical documentation, schematics, and network diagrams.
  • Train sustainment personnel and complete a stable handoff after launch, including known issues, recovery procedures, validated backups, and performance status.
  • Track performance against cycle-time achievement, direct-labor reduction, repeat-failure elimination, and stabilization-phase uptime targets.
