Advanced Process Engineer - Automation

Boom is building a single crystal investment casting foundry from scratch to make the hottest parts of its engines and we're challenging the way it's always been done. The foundry's robotic shelling line, drying cabinets, ovens, and casting cells need safe controls, repeatable recipes, and data that helps the process improve as we internally build the most challenging components in aerospace. You'll define the automation architecture, design the panels, own the wiring, write the software, and stand beside the cell when it runs its first recipe. In your first month, you'll build the shelling controls and panels, help bring new casting cells online, and establish the code workflow the team will use as the foundry grows.

Responsibilities

Build and commission controls for shelling, drying, ovens, and casting cells; Own Beckhoff/TwinCAT panels, wiring, sensors, and safety systems end to end; Write structured text with git, tests, code review, and simulation; Integrate industrial robots, EOAT, safety, and PLC handshakes; Build validated recipes and useful process-data capture with digital systems; Train operators, document systems, and improve cells with mechanical and process engineers

Requirements

A record of designing, building, programming, and commissioning complete automation cells; Hands-on panel design, wiring, sensing, and fault diagnosis; Structured text fluency and commitment to source control and testing; Production robot integration and sound machine-safety judgment; Recipe/data instincts: what to measure, how to log it, and how others will use it; Independent ownership and clear collaboration in an ambiguous buildout; Applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State

Nice to have

Deep Beckhoff/TwinCAT or Fanuc experience; Foundry, heat-treat, coating, chemical, or other harsh-process automation; Python or similar tools for analysis, testing, and integration; Functional safety, vision, weighing/dosing, or motion-control depth; Startup or greenfield production buildout experience
