6. Creating machine interactions with plant-wide Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
7. Introducing automated machines and processes into production, and training Maintenance and Production teams to support after deployment of equipment.
8. Creating and reviewing specifications and providing technical evaluations for outsourced automated equipment purchases.

2. 12+ years relevant experience in designing and implementing automation solutions in a manufacturing environment.
3. Strong technical expertise in the application of PLCs (example: Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi), HMI/GUI layout, Field Bus Networks, Safety Systems, Vision Systems, and integration of Robotics.
4. Familiarity with electrical prints and standards for industrial equipment.
5. Excellent technical presentation and training skills.
6. Demonstrated advanced proficiency in programming PLCs, with a well-defined methodology for maintaining code structure and organization.
7. Ability to program state machines for complex processes which involve multi-station parallel processing, pick and place automation, data acquisition, and PID control.
8. Proven ability to design reliable systems with error handling and recovery processes.
Competitive pay. Superior benefits. Inspiring work.
