## Description

We are seeking a senior Automation / Robotics Packaging Systems Engineer with strong experience specifying and selecting machinery for automated packaging and material handling systems.

This is not primarily a programming role. The main responsibility is understanding the customer's production process, determining what machinery is needed, selecting/specifying the appropriate equipment, and developing the overall system layout from initial product handling through packaging, palletizing, and shipment.

Responsibilities

 * Evaluate customer production requirements and determine what automated machinery and equipment is needed
 * Specify and select conveyors, robotic systems, case packers, palletizers, shrink wrappers, packaging equipment, and related machinery
 * Develop complete equipment layouts based on available floor space and production requirements
 * Determine how individual machines will work together as one complete automated production line
 * Define machine functionality, operating sequence, throughput, and system requirements
 * Work with equipment manufacturers and vendors to select the correct machinery for each application
 * Review equipment specifications, proposals, layouts, and technical documentation
 * Support machinery purchasing and vendor selection
 * Communicate system requirements to controls engineers and programmers
 * Travel to customer sites to support equipment installation, startup, and commissioning
 * Verify that installed machinery operates as intended
