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.
