Description:
The Mechatronics Engineer uses knowledge of mechanical, electronic, software, and controls engineering principles to develop, create, and improve equipment in Pharmavites production facilities. This engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to create solutions that integrate mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering principles at the designated production site.
Responsibilities:
- The mechatronics engineer’s responsibilities include improving existing mechanical systems, developing new concepts and equipment improvement prototypes, and developing various automated systems.
- Able to work within demanding timeframes and develop original, practical solutions to problems.
- Developing and enhancing electro-mechanical systems and mechatronic devices.
- Creating automated systems and the software to control them.
- Create detailed design documentation, including schematics, drawings, and technical specifications.
- Identifying areas of constraint on the production line and making recommendations for improvement.
- Understanding problems and developing charts to create solutions for addressing the problems or constraints.
- Using mechanical, computer, and electronic technology to develop solutions to problems.
- Improving existing production processes by implementing automation.
- Developing and building various products to better meet specific mechanical and electrical needs.
- Study the viability of new and existing equipment.
- Provide technical support and expertise to internal teams and external partners.
- Implementing control systems that improve performance.
- Identify and troubleshoot issues during the development and testing phases.
- Conducting simulations and creating models of engineered systems.
Education:
- Requires a four-year college or university degree in Mechatronics Engineering or its equivalent, a BS Engineering degree (preferably Mechanical, Electrical, or Controls)
Certification:
- No licenses or certifications are required. Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or other related certifications are a plus.
Experience:
- Requires a minimum of 3-5 years industry experience - preferably in pharmaceutical, nutritional, food, or other consumer goods. Preferably in a manufacturing/packaging equipment technical support or project engineering role.
- Additionally, 3-5 years of experience with control systems and PLC logic (controls engineering skill set).
