Automation Engineer II

The future is what we make it. When you join Honeywell, you become a member of our global team of thinkers, innovators, dreamers, and doers who make the things that make the future. That means changing the way we fly, fueling jets in an eco-friendly way, keeping buildings smart and safe and even making it possible to breathe on Mars. Working at Honeywell isn’t just about developing cool things. That’s why all our employees enjoy access to dynamic career opportunities across different fields and industries. Are you ready to help us make the future? Be a part of a dynamic team that create new and modifies existing processes, defines process equipment requirements and specifications, and reviews techniques and methods applied in the manufacture, fabrication, and evaluation of Ring Laser Gyroscope and MEMS based Inertial Sensors and IMUs. The Automation Engineer II will influence the planning and designing of manufacturing engineering processes, by bringing automation skillset to an existing team of product and process engineers. This skillset may include automation hardware experience or IIOT types of software and manufacturing digitization. You will determine technologies needed by the team to achieve manufacturing goals according to product specification, for improving existing and introducing new processes/product technologies. You will maximize efficiency by analyzing the layout of equipment, workflow, assembly methods, and work force utilization. Assist in the development, integration, and own production implementation of automation equipment (i.e. robotics or digitization). Support daily production activities and drive producibility improvement projects in a challenging environment. RESPONSIBILITIES: Participate in cross-functional projects and initiatives to drive continuous improvement and innovation in the manufacturing environment. Collaborate with Sourcing and Procurement, Engineering, Manufacturing, Design, Quality, ISC teams to place orders for new equipment (Capital) Own, develop and be responsible for a pipeline of projects within a specific technology area for the Minneapolis RLG and IMU factories. Understand the budget/schedule, manage Capital Planning System (CPS) requests, drive CPS execution. Management, design, implementation and deployment of automation projects hardware and software that monitor and/or control the manufacturing process. Create Statements of Work and Project Charters with hands-on collaboration with vendor(s) and integrator(s). Ensure thorough risk analysis (via tools like PFMEA) to mitigate challenges with machine or process qualification steps. Support existing solutions and design / implement new, innovative solutions for industrial operations which may include Industrial PC’s (hardware, operating systems, peripherals), PLC’s, Motion Control, Machine Vision – continuous inspection / defect inspection, Instrumentation – Pressure, Flow, Temperature, Level, Weight, Speed Provide test and manufacturing support for RLG and MEMS based inertial measurement units (IMUs). Investigate and resolve technical issues, facilitate issue identification and analysis. Support knowledge for test equipment and preventative maintenance plans to maintain factory capacity and efficient product flow. Utilize CAMP, Lean, and Six-Sigma methodologies to govern engineering standard work practices.
