Build the systems that move manufacturing forward.

What you will do

• Own project delivery. Lead assigned automation projects from internal handoff and kickoff through factory acceptance, installation, commissioning, customer acceptance, and closeout.
• Lead the plan. Develop and maintain project schedules, milestones, action lists, budgets, risk registers, and status reporting.
• Coordinate technical teams. Align mechanical design, electrical engineering, controls, software, machining, purchasing, assembly, and field-service work.
• Serve the customer. Act as the primary point of contact, conduct regular reviews, document decisions, and communicate progress, risks, and next steps clearly.
• Control scope. Translate requirements into executable work, manage changes, support change-order development, and protect project commitments.
• Drive execution. Remove roadblocks, escalate issues early, coordinate vendors and long-lead items, and keep deliverables moving.
• Support quality and safety. Ensure project documentation, testing, customer requirements, and safe work practices are incorporated throughout delivery.
• Improve how we work. Capture lessons learned and help strengthen estimating, scheduling, communication, and project-management practices.

What you bring

• Project-management experience in industrial automation, robotics, systems integration, custom machinery, capital equipment, or a closely related manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional engineering and production teams through complex, build-to-order projects.
• Strong command of scope, schedule, budget, risk, procurement, documentation, and customer communication.
• Ability to read and discuss mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, controls architecture, bills of material, and technical specifications.
• Practical judgment, organization, follow-through, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• Clear written and verbal communication with customers, suppliers, technicians, engineers, and company leadership.
• Ability to work primarily at our Leander facility and travel to customer sites as project needs require.

Preferred qualifications

• Five or more years of relevant project-management or technical program-management experience.
• Bachelor's degree in engineering, manufacturing, business, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience will also be considered.
• Familiarity with PLC/HMI controls, industrial robots, machine vision, motion control, safety systems, and automated manufacturing equipment.
• Experience with systems such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, FANUC, Cognex, Keyence, SolidWorks, or Ignition.
• PMP certification or formal project-management training.
