About this role

Build the Systems That Build Our Products

---------------------------------------------

Picture this: a new electromechanical product line is green‑lit. You help craft the assembly flow, shape the MES routes, validate fixtures, and coach the team as the first units ship on time—with safer tasks, tighter quality, and lower cost. As a Production Systems Engineer at Rockwell Automation, you turn that scenario into reality, again and again.

Mission

Bridge product intent and factory execution by designing, standardizing, and governing production methods across multiple sites—while collaborating with application engineering on electrical panel manufacturing and troubleshooting when issues arise.

Core Responsibilities

  • Deliver annual productivity improvements and reduce ergonomic/safety risks through targeted projects.
  • Use Lean principles and a transformational CI mindset to remove waste from processes.
  • Assess, justify, and pilot new manufacturing technologies; communicate recommendations to diverse stakeholders.
  • Exploit AI analytics to optimize workflows and drive evidence‑based process changes.
  • Define and roll out standard processes across Rockwell Automation manufacturing plants.
  • Contribute to secure, effective plant IT—supporting business productivity and cybersecurity practices.
  • Design and implement MES and information management capabilities on the shop floor.
  • Participate in NPI and continuation engineering reviews, including DFM, DFA, and PFMEA.
  • Estimate costs and times; specify equipment, tools, and fixtures; manage procurement, installation, and validation.
  • Maintain the documentation and reporting needed to keep operations synchronized.
  • Work in compliance with applicable regulations and standards (state/federal, ISO 9001, ISO 14000) and company procedures.

Where You Fit

You’ll split time between central office collaboration and on‑site plant engagement, reporting to the Manufacturing Engineering and Facilities Manager while partnering across Operations and adjacent teams.

Qualifications

  • Required: Bachelor’s degree.
  • Right to Work: Legal authorization to work in the US is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
  • Preferred: B.S. in Industrial/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering (or related manufacturing/technology field); 0–3 years in manufacturing/production engineering; experience with project management, DFMA, Lean, and Six Sigma.

Growth & Belonging

We’re building an inclusive, diverse, and authentic culture. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply—you might be a great match for this or another opportunity.

This position is part of a job family; your experience will determine level and compensation.

  • Life Insurance
  • 401(k)
