Spring Grove, Illinois, United States SCOT FORGE Full time

Join Scot Forge, a 130-year-old, employee-owned company that specializes in custom open die and rolled ring forgings. With operations spanning multiple industries, including infrastructure, energy, transportation, manufacturing, mining, and defense, we help our customers succeed in their most critical initiatives.

We're expanding our use of automated systems in additive manufacturing, testing, and laboratory-grade robotic furnace tending. As an Automation Systems Specialist, you'll play a key role in designing and directing the design of automated systems within our domain. This requires a deep understanding of existing system controls, such as heat treat, and other control-driven systems, as well as fluency in their operational programming architecture.

This position offers a unique blend of technical expertise and collaboration with cross-functional teams to drive business outcomes. You'll be responsible for merging new systems into our inventory with controls consistent with our existing architecture, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.

The ideal candidate will have 3-5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, production control, or project management, along with a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. A background in solid modeling methods and proficiency in MS Office are also essential. If you possess advanced technical communication skills, the ability to read and interpret complex industrial specifications, and previous project management experience, we encourage you to apply.

In this role, you'll contribute to the development of written specifications and budgets for new automation tools, quote and procure systems that align with these requirements, and oversee the buy-off of installed systems to ensure quality and safety standards are met.

We maintain a shop setting where physical demands may include heavy lifting, crawling, climbing, bending, pushing, and pulling. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required above typical shop floor levels, including harnesses and arc flash gear.

Scot Forge is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE), committed to fostering diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications from minorities, females, individuals with disabilities, and veterans. We maintain a drug-free workplace and perform pre-employment substance abuse testing.

A competitive salary of $90,000 - $110,000 per year is offered based on location and qualifications. The compensation package includes benefits, career growth opportunities, and a chance to work in a dynamic industry.
