  • Lead multi-site automation programs from concept and business case through design, industrialization, FAT/SAT, validation, and production ramp.
  • Ensure on-time, on-cost, and on-performance deployment of automation projects globally.
  • Drive structured hand-off to site teams for ownership, sustainment, and continuous improvement.

Cable Assembly Automation Focus

  • Automation of cutting, stripping, crimping, ultrasonic/resistance welding, cable handling, and assembly.
  • Deployment of vision-based inspection, automated testing, traceability, and packing solutions.
  • Partner with Quality and Operations to reduce defect rates, labor dependency, and process variation.

Standardization & Global Replication

  • Drive copy-exact replication of proven automation solutions across multiple sites and regions.
  • Establish global documentation standards (URS, FAT protocols, validation, training materials).
  • Build a global library of approved automation solutions and machine suppliers.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner closely with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, EHS, Finance, and IT.
  • Support new product introductions (NPI) with automation-ready process designs.
  • Present automation progress, risks, and ROI impact to senior leadership.

Key Success Metrics

  • Automation ROI and capital efficiency
  • Labor productivity and headcount avoidance
  • First-pass yield and quality improvements
  • Speed and consistency of global deployments
  • Sustainability and site ownership of deployed solutions

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, or similar)
  • 10+ years' experience in manufacturing automation, preferably in cable assembly or electromechanical manufacturing
  • Proven experience leading global or multi-site technical teams
  • Strong hands-on understanding of automation equipment, controls, vision systems, and validation
