Job Description

Automation Engineer – Automotive Innovation Starts Here

Are you ready to make your mark in automotive automation? This is more than just a job—it’s a rare opportunity to join a cutting-edge, world-class team with a prestigious client in the automotive industry.

At their Columbia City facility, we’re recruiting for a talented and driven Automation Engineer to help shape the future of manufacturing. If you’re passionate about robotics, automation, and real-time engineering problem-solving—and want to have a direct impact—this is your chance.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and implement advanced automated systems that improve efficiency and reduce manual labor across production lines.

• Program and maintain robots and PLCs (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Omron, Bosch) for high-performance manufacturing operations.

• Integrate servo motors, sensors, HMIs, vision systems, and test equipment into automated workstations.

• Lead continuous improvement and cost-saving automation projects.

• Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and optimize automation for maximum uptime.

• Create and maintain detailed documentation of processes and provide training on new systems.

• Keep up with emerging automation technologies and best practices in the industry.

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years’ experience in automation/controls engineering within a manufacturing environment.

• Proficiency in PLC and PC programming (C#, C++, Siemens, Allen Bradley, etc.).

• Experience with robotics integration (ABB, Kuka, Fanuc, Festo) and automated workstations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.

• Knowledge of electrical diagrams (European and American standards), industrial network design, and safety compliance.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills; able to interpret technical documentation and drive cross-functional solutions.

• Ability to adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, team-based setting.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Be part of a collaborative culture that thrives on innovation and improvement

• Highly competitive pay and a top-tier benefits package

• Direct involvement in robot programming and automation strategy

• Play a key role in transforming production through smart technology

• Opportunity to work with state-of-the-art equipment and cutting-edge systems

This is your moment. Take the next step in your engineering journey and make a real difference in automotive manufacturing.

Apply now – great opportunities don’t come around often.
