• Support controls integration on print, converting, die cutting, collating, finishing, and related production lines.
• Integrate industrial vision systems for inline inspection, quality checks, and serialization verification.
• Support integration of commercial inkjet, laser, and variable data printing systems into production workflows.
• Support robotics programming and automation projects tied to labor reduction, throughput improvement, quality, and repeatability.
• Develop, update, and maintain electrical documentation, panel designs, wiring standards, and controls-related documentation.
• Partner with Process Engineering on automation implementation for identified improvement projects.
• Partner with Controls Engineering on controls integration for process improvements.
• Work with Maintenance and Production teams to troubleshoot controls issues and support production uptime.
