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.
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.
