Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It Uniquely Yours.
Are you the kind of engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges while driving a culture of continuous improvement? Someone who gets energized by troubleshooting automation systems, finding root causes, and keeping production running at its best - using brains over budget? Then this role is for you.
You will take technical ownership of a production line with a strong focus on automation systems, while maintaining and strengthening our continuous improvement (CI) processes. Your mission: maximize uptime, eliminate recurring failures, and drive equipment reliability through smart, hands-on engineering and structured CI methodologies.

- Diagnose and support mechanical systems (pneumatics, hydraulics, bearings) when needed as part of holistic troubleshooting
- Facilitate structured root cause analysis (RCA, 5-Why, Fishbone) to address chronic losses and departmental KPI scorecard gaps, and implement sustainable countermeasures
- Develop and drive preventive and condition-based maintenance strategies with a strong focus on automation reliability
- Provide training on CI tools, techniques, and autonomous maintenance (AM) to build first-line defense capabilities among operators and colleagues
- Support teams in data collection and analysis to drive CI activities and our daily management system (DMS)
- Establish new work standards to sustain improvements and document technical solutions that strengthen the team long-term
- Manage critical spare parts and proactively address component availability risks
What You Will Bring
A passion for automation, problem-solving, and continuous improvement, along with:
- Strong experience in troubleshooting and maintaining automation systems (PLC, HMI, VFDs, servo drives, sensors, industrial communication protocols) - Siemens or Allen-Bradley preferred
- CI and high-performance work systems experience, with application of Lean and/or TPM tools in a factory or operations environment
- Basic mechanical understanding to support holistic troubleshooting when needed
- Ability to manipulate and validate data in manual and automated systems; mastery of Excel and other data analytics tools
- Strong facilitation and communication skills to train operators, support CI discussions, and collaborate cross-functionally
- A creative, resourceful mindset - you find effective solutions even with constraints
- Structured and organized thinking to extract insights from data and sustain the DMS process
- Bonus: experience extending equipment life through smart automation upgrades and engineering strategies
