About The Position

We are seeking a Manufacturing Automation Engineer to lead the development of custom electromechanical test equipment for our manufacturing plant. In this role, you will own the end-to-end creation of testers—architecting the test software, designing the data pipelines, and integrating these systems with our mechanical and electrical hardware designs. You will also serve as a crucial liaison between our internal software engineering team and the manufacturing test team, ensuring our factory software seamlessly communicates with broader company systems and databases.

Requirements

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in test automation, manufacturing engineering, or systems integration.
• Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming, scripting, and version control (Git), alongside extensive experience with relational SQL databases.
• Hands-on experience with IPC programming, PC-based control systems, and industrial automation environments (such as IEC 61131-3 standards).
• Proven ability to integrate high-level software with physical hardware and excellent interpersonal skills to collaborate with software teams on system requirements.

Nice To Haves

• A solid understanding of electromechanical design (CAD software like Creo) and specific experience testing IoT products or complex embedded systems.

Responsibilities

• Software Architecture & Development: Architect, write, and maintain robust test automation software and scripts to control test sequences for complex hardware assemblies.
• Database & Data Pipeline Management: Architect and manage data logging systems using SQL databases, ensuring test yields, failures, and manufacturing metrics are reliably captured, stored, and accessible.
• The "Bridge": Act as the primary technical liaison between the manufacturing engineering team and the core internal software development team. Define APIs, align software architectures, and ensure factory data flows seamlessly into company-wide systems.
• IPC & Hardware Integration: Program IPCs (Industrial PCs) to interface with physical test fixtures and devices under test. Integrate software with sensors, actuators, and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, TCP/IP, CAN bus, industrial Ethernet).
• End-to-End Tester Design: Collaborate on the electromechanical design of the testers, including specifying components, reviewing electrical wiring schematics, and understanding the mechanical fixturing.
• Testing & Validation: Develop highly reliable automated test procedures for complex embedded systems and electromechanical devices.

Benefits

• We believe you do your best work when your whole life is supported. We invest in our crew’s health, families, and financial futures with a benefits package designed to support you inside and outside the office.
