This engineering role focuses on the design, deployment, and continuous improvement of intelligent automation systems within manufacturing facilities. The work involves architecting full-stack supervisory applications, AGV/AMR platforms, vision-based inspection pipelines, and the necessary containerized server infrastructure.
Responsibilities
Architect and develop full-stack HMI / SCADA applications (Ignition preferred) for supervisory control, operator dashboards, fault management, and real-time data visualization across production lines
Lead AGV / AMR system integration, commissioning, and lifecycle support, including fleet management software, traffic control logic, and interface with warehouse execution systems (WES/WMS)
Design and deploy vision-based inspection and perception pipelines using YOLO models and other deep-learning frameworks for defect detection, object classification, and spatial localization in manufacturing environments
Build and maintain containerized microservices (Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes) to host SCADA servers, REST/gRPC APIs, model inference endpoints, and data pipelines
Develop organized, well-documented full-stack web applications (React / JavaScript front end; Go, Java, or Python back end) integrated with Tesla SSO and third-party factory systems
Create and maintain SQL databases and reporting infrastructure; write scripting and automation for data ingestion, KPI tracking, and operational analytics
Define and enforce software engineering best practices: version control (Git), code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, logging, and documentation standards
Lead system design reviews and serve as the technical liaison between production, maintenance, IT, and external vendors/suppliers
Establish test plans, risk assessments, and validation protocols prior to deployment; drive continuous process improvement by analyzing system metrics and implementing corrective actions to maximize cycle time and uptime
Develop training programs and technical documentation for operators and maintenance staff; serve as on-call point of contact for critical system issues, including occasional weekend support
Requirements
Degree in Mechatronics, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience
3+ years of professional experience in automation, systems, or controls/equipment engineering on electromechanical systems
Proven experience building and deploying Ignition Perspective module SCADA / HMI applications, including API and database integration, historical data, alarming, and user-role management
Hands-on experience with AGV / AMR commissioning and fleet management; familiarity with vendors such as Dematic, Daifuku, Swisslog, JBT, Seer, or equivalent; exposure to MQTT, OPC-UA, or other industrial communication protocols
