Automation Engineer
Job description
About Isembard
Isembard is rebuilding industrial capacity through a connected network of factories. We bring skilled people, advanced machine tools and our own software, MasonOS, together to make precision components for aerospace, defence, energy and .
The role
Large, high-volume contracts mean our factories need to run around the clock. Overnight shifts can bridge the gap, but the long-term answer is automated machine tending.
The market is crowded, with billet, vice, pallet and bar feed systems and many more, so rather than designing our own we work with external system integrators.
You will own machine tending across our factories: choose the right solutions, manage the integrators who deploy them, and keep the cells running. You won't be designing and building cells yourself. Your job is to make sure the ones we buy deliver, and see them running on a live factory floor.
The package includes equity.
- Scope automation projects and choose the right machine tending setup for each cell.
- Manage external system integrators through procurement, installation and commissioning.
- Own the performance and uptime of automated cells once they're live.
- Build a long-term procurement plan for automation as we add machines and sites.
- Work with operators on the floor so automation fits how the factory runs.
What you bring
- Automation, controls or system integration experience in manufacturing, whether at an integrator, an OEM machine builder, a larger manufacturer with its own automation team, or a machine shop with serious machine tending.
- Hands-on experience with PLCs (Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley), HMI/SCADA, and industrial robots or cobots (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots).
- Experience in at least two of: project scoping, cell design or procurement, installation and deployment, maintenance and uptime.
- Machine safety: risk assessments, guarding, ISO 13849, CE/UKCA.
- Real time on site, commissioning cells and handling what goes wrong.
- Useful, not essential: results you can point to such as cycle time, uptime or labour saved, connecting machines to data systems (OPC UA, MES, MQTT), vision systems, sensors, pneumatics or motion control, or an electrical, mechatronics or mechanical degree or apprenticeship.
