Automation & Assembly Process Engineer
About The Position
Develop, validate, and optimize the integrated assembly process and automation sequence. Own gantry, robotic, PLC/HMI, servo, sensor, vision, AI-inspection, and automated material-handling performance from commissioning through serial production. Define and validate operating sequences, safety interlocks, error proofing, fault handling, manual recovery, and controlled restart modes. Lead FAT, SAT, machine runoff, installation, commissioning, debug, Run@Rate, and production handover activities. Drive throughput, automation uptime, labor efficiency, cycle-time, MTBF, MTTR, and false-reject improvements. Coordinate supplier technical actions, software and mechanical changes, punch-list closure, documentation, and release evidence. Develop backup and contingency concepts that protect delivery when automation or an assembly module is unavailable. Maintain controls standards, backup files, change logs, spare-parts requirements, and technical training materials. Support process simulation and the future digital-twin development approach with accurate machine logic and production data. Partner with Vulcanization, Maintenance, Quality, Production, IT/OT, EHS, and supplier teams to ensure stable end-to-end flow with no uncontrolled WIP.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Automation, Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Controls Engineering.
- Five or more years of experience with automated automotive manufacturing or comparable industrial systems.
- Hands-on experience with PLCs, HMIs, industrial robots, servo motion, sensors, safety circuits, industrial networks, and vision systems.
- Experience with equipment commissioning, supplier management, machine acceptance, and production launches.
- Ability to read electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, and controls documentation and lead multidisciplinary troubleshooting.
- Systems thinking and equipment integration.
- Structured troubleshooting under production pressure.
- Supplier and change-control management.
