As a Sr. Engineer - Advanced Manufacturing Automation, you will lead the full lifecycle of automation delivery—from design and commissioning to long‑term sustainment. You’ll pair deep technical expertise in PLC, HMI, and safety systems with a sharp financial lens, using cost modeling and ROI analysis to prioritize high‑impact projects. By bridging the gap between engineering and Finance, you will identify and validate "hard savings" while providing technical leadership to external integrators.

A data‑driven problem solver at heart, you will ensure all automated solutions are high‑performing, cost‑effective, and rooted in a rigorous safety‑first culture.

• Water‑cooled (shell‑and‑tube): tube bundle handling, tube‑to‑tube sheet joining (expansion and/or seal welding), shell/nozzle welding, and automated pressure/leak test systems.
• Air‑cooled (finned‑tube coils): tube insertion/expansion, header/manifold joining (brazing), automated coil leak/pressure testing, and coil handling/fixturing.

• Implement flexible automation/assist solutions for heavy assembly, refrigerant charging systems, piping/brazing/welding support, sensor installation, control integration, and end‑of‑line (EOL) test automation and reporting.

• Own or support PLC/HMI/safety logic for manufacturing automation systems. Rockwell / Allen Bradley, Siemens are the typical PLC used.
• Drive reliability improvements through enhanced diagnostics, alarm rationalization, and fault recovery.
• Build/expand automated test capabilities (pressure/leak/functional) with recipe‑based execution and data capture. LabVIEW is typical test automation.
• Enable or improve traceability and test data capture through MES interfaces or structured data collection.

• Identify and quantify hard savings opportunities tied to automation:
  • Labor reduction (direct touch time, overtime reduction, staffing flexibility)
  • Scrap and rework reduction (weld defects, leaks, brazing defects, coil/piping rework)
  • Downtime reduction / uptime gains (availability improvements and reduced lost units)
  • Yield / FPY improvement (fewer retests, fewer escapes, reduced MRB burden)
  • Warranty/field failure reduction where attributable to process improvements
  • Energy and consumables reductions (where meaningful: gas, nitrogen, helium, tooling wear, etc.)
• Build clear automation investment cases (Cap Ex requests) including:
  • Baseline losses and constraints
  • Proposed solution options (buy/build/integrate)
  • Payback period, NPV/IRR (when applicable), and sensitivity analysis
  • Implementation costs (equipment, integration, downtime, training, spares)
• Prioritize project pipeline with focus on:
  • Fast payback (e.g., ≤12–24 months) for many initiatives
  • Scalable solutions that can replicate across lines/products
• Own benefits realization:
  • Create a savings tracking plan with Finance
  • Validate savings post‑implementation (30/60/90 days and quarterly)
  • Put controls in place to sustain the savings (standard work, training, audits)

• Lead vendors/integrators end‑to‑end: requirements, RFQ, technical evaluation, acceptance criteria, FAT/SAT, commissioning, ramp, and handoff.
• Define run‑at‑rate metrics…
