Controls Engineer, Production Equipment

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop and validate equipment sequences, interlocks, sensor and actuator interfaces, and fault-recovery behavior against assembly requirements and safety criteria.
• Diagnose control and electrical-interface faults during build, acceptance, and production ramps; coordinate changes with mechanical, manufacturing, and test engineers.
• Own controls and electrical-interface delivery for production equipment from requirements through vendor build, commissioning, and production release;
• Deliver measurable improvements: increase tooling availability above 95%, reduce manual assembly cycle time by 20–40% per station, and improve first-pass yield (FPY) on targeted assemblies by at least 10% within the…
• Develop and integrate the controls for alignment fixtures, press and torque tooling, ergonomic operator stations, poka‑yoke devices, handling/transport fixtures, and automated end-of-line test rigs tied to build and…
• Perform on-line debugging and rapid root‑cause analysis during launches and ramp phases; be prepared to run weekend or evening commissioning efforts during critical releases.
• Apply controls and interface standards and collaborate on tooling design standards, GD&T practices, tolerance stacks, and material/process selections that meet safety and maintainability requirements for autonomous…
• Coordinate cross-functionally with Design Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Test Engineering, and Field Operations to align tooling scope, test requirements, and production schedules.
