About the role

Senior Factory Automation Engineer responsible for end-to-end ownership of 3D measurement systems in a high-volume, 24/7 Provo, UT manufacturing environment, driving uptime, yield, and future capability through data-driven methods and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Own our 3D quality control, sorting, and final inspection systems end to end. You are the sole technical owner of these machines in live 24/7 production
  • Drive measurable gains in yield, throughput, and asset utilization by monitoring production data trends and closing the loop on the failure modes you find
  • Partner with our machine learning and advanced manufacturing teams to improve inspection accuracy and co-develop the next generation of measurement systems
  • Set the technical roadmap for this equipment: decide what gets designed and built next
  • Diagnose mechanical and process failures to root cause, then implement permanent design fixes rather than workarounds
  • Design and iterate on custom tooling, fixtures, and jigs to improve process stability and material handling as the machines scale
  • Lead vendors through installation and commissioning of new equipment, confirming custom tooling and actuators meet design specifications
  • Build the preventative and predictive maintenance approach that keeps these systems available without becoming a bottleneck to production

Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience as an automation, manufacturing, or equipment engineer, on either a development or an operations team
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Direct experience with high-volume automated production equipment, in live environments where downtime carries immediate cost
  • Proven ability to maintain and optimize high-speed automated systems, including PLC logic, robotics, and vision systems
  • Root cause rigor using systematic methods (5-Whys, Fishbone, 8D) to resolve complex equipment failures and prevent recurrence
  • A data-driven approach: you use sensor data and statistical process control to anticipate failures rather than react to them
  • Comfort defining your own scope. This role comes with real ambiguity and real authority; you'll build the plan rather than receive one
  • Based in or willing to relocate to the Provo, UT area.
