Description
You’ll drive automation activities (including machine vision and robotics) for enclosure and module manufacturing processes as part of Manufacturing Design’s Automation SME team. Work with integrators, suppliers, contract manufacturers, and internal customers to develop sophisticated automation capabilities and implement them in the supply chain to exacting standards on aggressive project timelines. Drive design reviews, execute proof of concept, maintain and resolve issues lists, implement data logging and traceability requirements, review control logic and programming, and define qualification requirements for FAT/SAT. Work with engineering teams to identify automation needs and opportunities, provide design for automation feedback, conceptualize required automation, assess associated design/schedule risk, provide new technology capability analysis, negotiate deliverables, and create proof of concept where necessary. Work with operations teams and contract manufacturers to evaluate automation implementation risk, create technical requirements/RFP package, assess capabilities of automation integrators, provide DFM feedback, support integrator down-select activities, and estimate automation costs and capabilities. Provide onsite technical support at FAT/SAT, development builds, production builds, and production ramp as needed to ensure equipment capability, availability, and productivity. Coordinate above activities with overseas counterparts to push process capability, ensure completion of work, and identify/mitigate risk ahead of schedule. Present detailed analysis to key decision makers to enable commercial and design decisions.
