Day-to-day

A manufacturing company is looking for an electrical engineering analyst to assist in assessing and offering solutions for the efficiency of product manufacturing and assembly. In a hypothetical scenario where they want to produce 100 items in a given time period but only produce 90, this engineer will examine the various outputs from the machines, determine which specific step has a lapse in efficiency, and offer solutions and programming to bring that part up to speed. This engineer will work head down programming and assisting the other sites with programming in the ignition module. Other tasks include diagnosing node issues for PLCs throughout the world and actively participating in contact team meetings. If you are a dedicated problem-solving electrical engineer with extensive ignition software and/or programming expertise, this might be the perfect opportunity for you!
