Job description

Role Summary

We are seeking a skilled, hands-on Equipment Engineer to join our Production Engineering team. This role is focused on operating, sustaining, and optimizing advanced manufacturing equipment and assembly lines.

The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in at least one core discipline of manufacturing engineering, along with the curiosity and drive to expand beyond it. This role requires critical thinking, fast learning, and direct ownership of equipment performance in a high-paced production environment.

This is a floor-facing, high-impact role. You will work closely with maintenance, controls, and operations teams to keep production lines running, reduce downtime, and continuously improve equipment effectiveness.

Responsibilities

  • Support production operations across shifts, including remote or onsite escalation response as needed to minimize downtime
  • Troubleshoot equipment failures quickly and accurately, identifying root causes across electrical, mechanical, controls, and network domains, and implement sustainable corrective actions
  • Provide hands-on support and mentorship to maintenance technicians during extended downtime situations
  • Troubleshoot industrial robots used for material handling, assembly, and dispense applications
  • Diagnose recurring equipment failures and develop mitigation strategies to reduce their frequency, severity, and production impact
  • Own station-level and line-level OEE metrics, present performance data to engineering and operations stakeholders, and lead continuous improvement efforts to drive measurable gains
  • Lead equipment upgrades, retrofits, and repairs with a focus on reliability, serviceability, process capability, and design intent
  • Create, propose, and implement standard operating procedures for equipment within your area of ownership
  • Identify and execute continuous improvement projects focused on cycle time reduction, yield improvement, and increased equipment utilization
  • Maintain comprehensive equipment documentation and participate in Engineering Change Management processes

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics Engineering, or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience in an automated, high-volume manufacturing environment
  • Demonstrated success improving OEE through structured root cause analysis and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Proficiency in structured problem-solving methodologies such as DMAIC, 5 Whys, 8D, or Ishikawa
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings
  • Experience with data collection and analysis for equipment performance and process development
  • Ability to lead cross-functional projects and support 24/7 operations during escalations
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Bonus Qualifications

  • Experience programming, troubleshooting, and optimizing Fanuc or equivalent 6-axis robots
  • Familiarity with safety control devices, safety PLC logic, and functional safety standards
  • Experience developing or improving HMIs using platforms such as Ignition, FactoryTalk, TIA Portal, or similar tools
  • Proficiency in CAD software such as SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or Creo for equipment modifications and fixture design
  • Knowledge of GD&T and its impact on equipment interfaces and tooling
  • Ability to read and interpret mechanical, electrical, and electronic schematics for equipment diagnosis
  • Experience in power electronics or electromechanical assembly within energy, automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics manufacturing
  • Experience with MES, SCADA, or equipment data platforms for equipment monitoring and analysis
  • Creative problem-solving mindset with a focus on faster, better, and more cost-effective solutions

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
