The Automation Engineer is responsible for the design, programming, optimization, and sustainment of automated manufacturing systems at the GSP Reynosa facility. This role spans multiple production areas — including Plating Lines, Machine Shop operations, and Glass to Metal Seal (GTMS) processes — ensuring reliable, repeatable, and high-quality automated manufacturing across all supported areas.
The Automation Engineer will advance automation maturity at the Reynosa site, resolve complex system issues, and partner with engineering, production, maintenance, and external vendors to deliver robust and scalable manufacturing solutions. The Automation Engineer will directly improve process consistency, reduce manual dependence, and support product transfer and production ramp activities — making this a high-impact, highly visible role at the site.
Key Responsibilities
- Program and maintain PLC-based automation systems for plating lines, machine shop equipment, and related material handling processes.
- Optimize automated process controls to improve yield consistency, dwell timing,
sequencing, chemical cycle repeatability, cycle time, and overall throughput.
- Troubleshoot PLC, motion control, sensor, drive, and equipment integration issues to minimize downtime and improve system reliability.
- Manage recipe-based manufacturing parameters and validate process outputs against specifications.
- Lead the development and implementation of automation solutions for Glass-to-Metal Seal (GTMS) processes, including assembly, inspection, and furnace/heat treat systems where applicable.
- Collaborate with engineering, production, maintenance, machinists, vendors, and internal teams to implement automation upgrades, capital equipment commissioning, and new technologies.
- Champion automation projects, identifying opportunities to implement advanced manufacturing technologies, robotics, and PLC-controlled systems to streamline operations and enhance productivity.
