Junior Automation Engineer
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.
