CHANGE AN INDUSTRY

We’re disruptors, innovators, and doers who aren’t afraid to challenge what’s possible.

At Bright Machines, our mission is to change the speed, scalability, and flexibility of manufacturing. We bring software-defined intelligence down to the factory floor and enable our customers to modernize their manufacturing operations effortlessly.

Working at Bright Machines is an opportunity to be part of a growing team that enables anyone to build anything, anywhere. If you’re ready to apply your exceptional skills to create the platform that will define the next generation of manufacturing, we’d love to speak with you.

Let’s disrupt an industry. It will be fun!


ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Systems Design Engineer in our Field Operations Team, reporting to the Regional Engineering Director, you will work closely with the Systems Architects for project hand over from the opportunity phase after PO receipt. You will use the System Architect concept design to identify all failure mode points and recommend solutions to resolve and analyze the process steps proposed to ensure all process steps are identified and fit within an automation environment, You will be working with Electrical, Mechanical, Controls and Software Engineers to detail each function and sub system of your overall analysis and follow through to each phase gate ensuring all failure modes have been solutioned. As projects progress, you will monitor, validate, and assist engineering resources at the system and sub system level to ensure the solution will bring value to the customer. Regular communication with program management about major milestones, time, budget, and customer communication is needed.

This is a customer-facing role that will challenge your mechanical engineering skills and help quarterback solutions for a matrixed team of Mechanical and Electrical Design Engineers, Implementation Engineers, Automation Controls Engineers, Technical Project Managers and Service Engineers. Our framework of collaboration is the key to successfully providing complex automated robotic solutions.

  • Create PFMEA, process flow and value stream maps (where required) and work with the design team to resolve all failure mode points within the design
  • Ensure through each phase gate that all design metrics are being challenged and met
  • Clearly define solution requirements, own ‘the product’ of the overall automation solution (and sub systems), and drive it to success through the entire project lifecycle in partnership with program management and engineering
  • Perform continuous analysis from the start of design through to integration and test to ensure the best solutions are being used against failure mode analysis
  • Lead the project in pushing your process, IE, Design for Automation, and Automation Engineering solutions
  • Travel 10 to 20 %, primarily domestically
  • WHAT WE WANT TO SEE

  • BS or MS degree, ideally in Engineering, Mechatronics or Automation related field
  • 10+ years of manufacturing experience, ideally with hands on experience in automation and lean engineering

  • Highly collaborative person with excellent communication skills to work closely with Sales, suppliers, System Architect, Design Engineers Technical Program Managers and senior management to ensure all failure modes from the PFMEA have been designed in and meet SOW requirements
  • Ability to carefully read technical documents (RFQ’s and SOW’s) and the ability to translate requirements into economically feasible automation concepts
  • IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU HAD

  • AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks experience
  • Knowledge and/or experience in Lean Manufacturing
  • Industrial Engineering training, concepts or practice
  • Technical Sales or Quoting experience responding to RFQs and SOWs
  • Design for automation experience, queueing simulation, FMEA, and GR&R experience
  • Medical, automotive or food/beverage experience
  • Omron/Cognex/Keyence vision system, SMT, PLC programming, robot programming, and machine learning exposure
