Jobs at Johnson Electric

Designs custom mechanical automation and manufacturing equipment, including robotic cells, assembly systems, fixtures, gauges, tooling, and production systems. Creates concepts, detailed SolidWorks drawings, bills of materials, calculations, and component selections. Collaborates with electrical, manufacturing, project, customer, and supplier teams, while supporting builds, debugging, integration, and implementation. Reviews designs for manufacturability, safety, materials, and machining requirements, contributes to continuous improvement and estimating, and provides technical guidance to junior designers.

Designs mechanical automation systems for robots, assembly lines, inspection cells, gauges, and jigs. Creates SolidWorks drawings and bills of materials, performs engineering calculations, selects components, reviews designs, and supports manufacturing during build and integration. Collaborates with electrical designers, project teams, customers, and vendors; provides estimates and progress updates; supervises junior designers and co-op students; and contributes to standards and continuous improvement.

Develop and improve automotive products and manufacturing processes from engineering development through production launch. Lead APQP activities, design reviews, prototype and pre-production trials, capacity studies, process experiments, PFMEAs, and technical documentation. Analyze manufacturing data, establish process parameters, support troubleshooting, implement corrective actions, and drive continuous improvement in quality, productivity, and waste reduction. Provide technical guidance to production teams while ensuring compliance with IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and applicable health and safety requirements.

Develops, optimizes, and sustains Atmospheric Plasma Spray and related coating processes for fuel cell and automotive products. Provides production, maintenance, and quality support; establishes process parameters and work instructions; conducts trials, experiments, data analysis, capacity studies, and root-cause investigations. Supports APQP, prototypes, inspections, equipment troubleshooting, continuous improvement, operator training, and compliance with quality and environmental standards.

Program, debug, commission, troubleshoot, and optimize PLCs, HMIs, robots, motion systems, and automated production equipment. Support equipment design, assembly-line startups, customer-site commissioning, industrial network configuration, LabVIEW programming, technical documentation, and continuous improvement. Collaborate with mechanical and electrical teams while modifying existing equipment and developing new automation solutions.

Leads new product launches from concept through production start-up, coordinating cross-functional teams across operations, engineering, quality, supply chain, and maintenance. Manages timelines, capital equipment procurement and commissioning, manufacturing process validation, APQP and customer deliverables, project costs, risks, capacity, and resources. The role also supports line transfers, continuous improvement, supplier relationships, and automotive quality compliance, including PPAP and IATF 16949 requirements.

Lead commercial strategy and global account growth for robotics products. Manage pricing, contracts, P&L, and margin optimization. Define product roadmaps from customer and market requirements, coordinate with engineering and project teams to deliver awarded programs, and build long-term international customer relationships while addressing pricing risks and tooling schedules.

Develop, implement, troubleshoot, and optimize non-destructive testing (NDT) systems across manufacturing. Evaluate inspection technologies, support equipment selection and validation, analyze inspection data to identify root causes and trends, create standardized work instructions, and drive continuous improvement alongside production and engineering teams.
