Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Identify automation opportunities that can be standardized and scaled across multiple processes and plants.
  • Assess the technical feasibility of proposed automation projects.
  • Develop industrialization strategies for automation solutions using the appropriate mix of internal and external resources.
  • Develop, maintain, and enforce equipment and process standards, including specifications, sourcing, design reviews, validation, and installation.
  • Serve as the primary interface with Adient central and business unit IT teams.
  • Provide technical support for automation-related issues across JIT and seat structures plants.
  • Identify, qualify, and develop equipment suppliers while building strong partnerships to ensure consistent execution of standards.
  • Drive supplier performance reviews, provide feedback, and improve execution.
  • Coach AME teams on equipment standards, processes, and execution expectations.
  • Define requirements for refurbishment and redeployment of used equipment.
  • Provide equipment cost estimating for new program quoting and strategic projects.
  • Identify, evaluate, and test emerging technologies for assembly and material handling applications, including robotics, vision systems, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence.
  • Lead the evaluation, specification, testing, and deployment of autonomous warehouse distribution and fulfillment technologies including autonomous forklifts, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), goods-to-person systems, robotic picking, and humanoid robots, ensuring safe integration with plant material flow, warehouse management systems, and operating processes.

Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Minimum of five years of industry experience; automotive interiors experience preferred.
  • Proven ability to identify automation opportunities and lead projects from concept through implementation.
  • Experience installing and commissioning automated equipment, including robotic assembly cells and test systems.
  • Experience with warehouse distribution and fulfillment automation is strongly preferred, including autonomous forklifts, autonomous mobile robots, robotic material handling, and integration with warehouse execution or warehouse management systems.
  • Software or application development desired
  • Experience with seating products desired

Technical Skills:
  • Knowledge of PLC programming and troubleshooting (Allen Bradley preferred)
  • Familiarity with controls systems and other programming languages such as C++
  • HMI programming
  • Robot cell design and programming
  • Industrial networking
  • System specification, ordering, run-off, installation, and qualification
  • Capital equipment budget planning and tracking.
  • Strong computer skills with ability to quickly learn new software/applications.
  • Ability to draw two dimensional layouts in CAD software.
  • Analytical problem solving
  • Project management, including plan development and execution.
  • Ability to interact with the equipment controls team and IT groups to understand network topology.
  • Knowledge of autonomous material handling systems including autonomous forklifts, AMRs/AGVs, and robotic pallet movement in warehouse and distribution environments.
  • Experience integrating mobile robotics and fulfillment automation with WMS/WES/MES platforms, fleet management software, barcode/RFID systems, and plant IT infrastructure.
  • Understanding of navigation, traffic management, safety zoning, and risk assessment for robots operating in dynamic environments shared with people and industrial vehicles.
  • Ability to evaluate emerging robotics platforms, including humanoid robots, for material handling, kitting, picking, line-side delivery, and other fulfillment use cases.
