Junior Automation Engineer

Fairfield, Ohio, United States

LetsGetChecked is a global healthcare solutions company that provides the tools to manage health from home through health testing, virtual care, genetic sequencing, and medication delivery for a wide range of health and wellness conditions. LetsGetChecked's end-to-end model includes manufacturing, logistics, lab analysis, physician support, and prescription fulfillment. Founded in 2015 and co-headquartered in Dublin and Atlanta, LetsGetChecked empowers people to take control of their health and live longer, happier lives.

Role Overview

LetsGetChecked is seeking a Junior Automation Engineer to join our rapidly growing manufacturing team. This is a dynamic, "hands-on" engineering role designed for an analytical problem-solver. While your primary focus will be the optimization and oversight of our ABB robotic cells, you will also serve as a key technical resource for the broader facility.

We are looking for a candidate who thrives on troubleshooting—someone who doesn't just follow a manual but seeks to understand the "why" behind system behaviors. During periods of production downtime, you will pivot to support facility-wide engineering projects, ensuring our infrastructure is as efficient as our robotics.

Key Responsibilities

Robotics & Automation Oversight

  • Operate & Optimize: Monitor automated production equipment (ABB robotic arms, bagging systems, etc.) to ensure maximum uptime and throughput.
  • Technical Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve minor-to-moderate mechanical and software faults in real-time to minimize production delays.
  • Calibration & Setup: Lead the precision setup and calibration of robotic cells for different production runs, ensuring medical-grade accuracy.
  • Analytical Reporting: Maintain detailed logs of machine performance, identifying trends in downtime or "near-misses" to propose long-term fixes.

Facility & Systems Support

  • Operational Readiness: During production downtime, perform preventative maintenance and repairs on facility-wide distribution and manufacturing infrastructure.
  • Process Improvement: Assist in the design and implementation of layout changes, shelving systems, or conveyor optimizations to improve workflow.
  • Safety & Compliance: Ensure the entire facility adheres to 5S principles and medical device manufacturing standards (ISO 13485/FDA).
  • Vendor Coordination: Support senior engineering staff in overseeing external contractors for facility upgrades or specialized equipment repairs.

What We’re Looking For

  • The "Fixer" Mindset: A strong analytical approach to problem-solving. You enjoy taking things apart to see how they work and finding ways to make them work better.
  • Education: BSc in Automation, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related Engineering field is required.
  • Technical Experience: Familiarity with ABB industrial robots (RobotStudio, Rapid programming) and PLC logic is a significant advantage.
  • Versatility: Comfortable shifting from a high-tech robotic interface to hands-on facility maintenance tasks as business needs evolve.
  • Detail-Oriented: A commitment to the "Zero Error" mindset necessary for medical device manufacturing.
  • Communication: Ability to explain technical issues to non-technical team members clearly and concisely.

Benefits: 

Alongside an hourly rate of $25 - $30 (Depending on Experience), we offer a range of benefits including: 

Full-time employee benefits include: dental, vision, and multiple group medical plans to choose from, a 401(k) retirement savings plan, group life insurance, (AD&D) insurance, flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA), commuter benefits, employer-paid short-term (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) insurance, and additional supplemental insurance plans (spouse life insurance, legal insurance, an employee assistance program, home health testing kits, and a fertility medication discount program). Employees are also provided flexible vacation time, accrued paid sick time, 10 paid holidays, (2 floating holidays for full time non-exempt employees) , and up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for a birthing parent, and up to 8 weeks of paid bonding leave for non-birthing parents, and up to 12 weeks of family caregiver leave, including 4 paid, to support care for a family member, and a Lifestyle Spending Account allowance each month.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
