Job description

The Associate Automation Engineer is an entry-level role designed to grow the next generation of automation engineering talent. You'll work alongside senior engineers to design, develop, test, and deploy automated manufacturing cells — gaining hands-on experience across controls, robotics, software, and system integration, with increasing ownership as you develop.

What You'll Do
  • Support senior Automation Engineers in the development, build, and commissioning of automated manufacturing cells.
  • Assist with system integration, assembly support, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) of automation equipment.
  • Participate in the development, testing, and troubleshooting of control systems, robotics, and automation software.
  • Contribute to programming and debugging across PLCs, robots, and higher-level software systems.
  • Help develop and modify HMIs, control logic, and feedback/control systems.
  • Support robotics integration, including setup, testing, and optimization of robotic cells.
  • Use CAD/CAM tools to support mechanical layouts, cell design concepts, and documentation.
  • Take part in commissioning and deployment activities at manufacturing sites, with occasional travel required.
  • Learn and apply engineering best practices, safety standards, and structured development methodologies under the guidance of experienced mentors.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts related to automation performance, reliability, and standardization.
What We're Looking For

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Foundational understanding of automation, control systems, and robotics principles.
  • Understanding of PLC programming, industrial networks, and HMI development.
  • Programming experience in one or more of the following: Python, Java, or C# is preferred
  • Working knowledge of control and feedback systems, as well as robotics and automated systems.
  • Exposure to CAD/CAM tools — NX preferred; academic or project experience is welcome.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a genuine eagerness to learn in a hands-on manufacturing environment.
  • Clear, effective communication skills and an analytical mindset.
  • Ability to manage shifting priorities and support multiple sites with a degree of independence.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% in support of automation builds and deployments.

Nice to Have

  • Internship, co-op, or project experience in automation, manufacturing, or robotics.
  • Familiarity with industrial automation hardware, sensors, and actuators.
  • A passion for advanced manufacturing and factory automation technologies.
