What Will You Do?

• Program and optimize robotic Amada press brakes (6‑axis, multi‑axis, single‑axis) for high‑volume fabricated parts, ensuring accuracy, repeatability, and long-term reliability.
• Lead engineering activities related to fabrication processes, production layouts, mechanical design, manufacturing methods, and safety.
• Address both daily operational challenges and long-term improvement projects using manufacturing, quality, Six Sigma, and SPS tools (PFMEA, Control Plan, 8D, CAPEX, SAP, layouts, etc.).
• Apply sound engineering judgment to select methods and evaluation criteria that support automation, robotics integration, and efficient production flow.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, maintenance, and production teams to implement automated solutions, resolve fabrication or robotic programming issues, and drive continuous improvement.
• Support new product/process launches including cost estimates, design concepts, engineering criteria, and conceptual production layouts.
• Support the design, procurement, and maintenance of fabrication tooling, robotic equipment, fixtures, and automation-related assets.
• Develop safety, ergonomic, and material-handling improvements that enhance robotics and production performance.
• Serve operations as a key technical resource, leading problem resolution, improvement projects, and automation upgrades.
• Select and maintain equipment and tooling required for efficient wiring, testing, and production operations.
• Build reports and analytics through Tableau, Power BI, and BI platforms to support data-driven improvement and automation performance tracking.

What Qualifications Will Make You Successful?

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline is required.
• Experience in manufacturing engineering, production environments, or quality engineering.
• Hands-on experience with Amada Robotics (Yaskawa) and PLC/Omron programming.
• Programming experience with Fanuc, Mitsubishi, or Yaskawa robotic systems is highly desired.
• Familiarity with fabrication processes, robotic automation, and press brake programming.
• Proficiency in 8D methodology, PFMEA, root cause tools (5Why, fishbone/Ishikawa), and structured problem-solving.
• Six Sigma knowledge or certification strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated analytical skills with data evaluation, technical troubleshooting, and project execution.
• Solid communication skills, leadership capability, and strong attention to detail.
• Working knowledge of SAP, Access/SQL databases, and manufacturing/capacity planning systems.
• Proficiency in Excel, Tableau, and Power BI for data and performance analysis.
• Experience with robotic programming, AutoCAD, PLC programming, and vision systems preferred.
• Experience leading CI projects that improve labor efficiency, material flow, OEE, or fabrication throughput.
• Background in process design, ergonomics, simulation tools, and cost analysis.
• Strong desire to work hands-on in a production environment with cross-functional partners.
