Kitchener ON, Canada Trusscore Full time

Your Mission

Your mission is to build a materials science company for sustainable building materials. With Trusscore’s meteoric growth over the past several years, the scale and scope of new processes and systems has expanded significantly. As an  Automation & Controls Engineer , you will introduce new and optimize existing automated systems and production cells to improve manufacturing ease, quality, capacity, efficiency, and sustainability. Your results will directly drive a company-wide Industry 4.0 transformation across all factories.

You will use your own direct efforts, work alongside a cross-functional team, and coordinate with external integrators and vendors to design, develop, and commission automation systems.  You will create code that interacts with primary and secondary manufacturing systems, such as extrusion production lines, material/product handling and conveyance, robots, part marking, machine vision, metrology, part stacking and packaging, data digitization, and other auxiliary equipment. 

This role requires you to be both strategic and tactical, executing alongside other team members. It requires broad background experience and will further stretch your aptitude in automation and controls engineering, data engineering, manufacturing and quality systems, project management, and communicating with internal & external stakeholders. Your success will be defined in terms of the quality and timeliness of driving projects to completion.

Join our mission and be a part of a team that is re-imagining sustainable building materials innovations and bringing them to the physical world.
