THE ROLE

The Customer Care & Aftersales team is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer - Robotics. This position plays a critical role in executing the reimagination of processing within CCA. As a Robotic Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll drive large-scale automation and packaging optimization initiatives with a focus on robotics, collaborative robots (cobots), and robot guided vision and machine learning. You will work with cross-functional teams to solve complex manufacturing challenges, particularly those related to workstation design, material flow, and automated systems integration. Your decisions will rely on sound technical judgment within established practices and engineering standards.
This role offers the opportunity to work hands-on with advanced robotic technologies while supporting transformational change across the network.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead large-scale capital projects related to automation, packaging systems, and robotics.
• Collaborate with outside vendors, integrators, and OEMs to define system capabilities and deployment plans.
• Provide technical direction on robotics and other automation , including cobots, end of arm tooling, and vision-guided automation.
• Drive optimization of existing robotic and product conveyance systems to improve safety, efficiency, and cycle time.
• Create and maintain engineering standardized work and documentation.
• Lead redesign of production areas, with a focus on automated workstations and material presentation.
• Oversee scoping, installation, commissioning, and qualification of new equipment, including safety verifications (G-Comply).
• Support continuous improvement initiatives using data analysis and throughput improvement tools.
• Provide technical support for automated labeling, box forming, palletizing , and other robotic packaging technologies.
• Coordinate machine runoffs and OEM supervision during equipment installs.
• Conduct safety contract management (SCM), task planning, and observation tours to ensure a safe work environment.
• Travel to support OEM build reviews, runoffs, and site installations as required (may include weekends or off-shifts during critical launch milestones).
