[Hiring] Automation and Robotics Deployment Leader @USTech Solutions

Role Description

This contract role supports the execution of manufacturing automation and robotics initiatives across multiple US sites, including Puerto Rico. Working within the direction and priorities established by the Robotics Director and global robotics team, the contractor will partner with site stakeholders to:

• Identify and assess opportunities
• Translate operational needs into clear requirements and business cases
• Lead selected projects from definition through implementation and startup

The role is best suited for an experienced automation and robotics deployment leader who can:

• Operate independently
• Build trust with manufacturing teams
• Manage external delivery partners

Deep hands-on robot programming is not required; however, practical experience evaluating or deploying robotics in operating brownfield manufacturing environments is essential.

The contractor must understand:

• Why technically feasible concepts may not be operationally deployable
• Integration constraints, process variability, space and material flow, safety, controls, maintainability, exception handling, operator interaction, and implementation risk

System integrators will perform detailed design, programming, and equipment build, while this role provides informed technical and project leadership and challenges vendor recommendations when needed.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience evaluating, implementing, or supporting industrial robotics and automation deployments in operating brownfield manufacturing, logistics, laboratory, or similar environments
• Ability to independently structure and drive work across multiple stakeholders
• Experience translating workflows and operational needs into requirements, scopes of work, vendor deliverables, and implementation plans
• Experience managing system integrators, equipment suppliers, engineering firms, or other external technical delivery partners
• Strong working knowledge of industrial robotics and automation technologies
• Strong communication and stakeholder leadership skills
• Comfort working in a contract role that requires hands-on ownership of defined deliverables

Requirements

• Experience limited to greenfield design, demonstrations, research, or simulation is not sufficient on its own
• Must be able to assess application fit and deployment risk across various technologies
• Must have experience in a regulated manufacturing environment

Preferred Experience

• Experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, food, chemical, or another regulated manufacturing environment
• Familiarity with GMP, validation, quality systems, or regulated project documentation
• Prior experience as an end user, system integrator, automation supplier, applications engineer, technical program manager, or automation consultant
• Experience supporting opportunity assessments or early project definition in addition to project execution
• Exposure to deployments across multiple sites or business units

What This Role Is Not

• It is not a hands-on robot programming or detailed machine design position
• It is not an open-ended strategy consulting role
• It is not limited to a single robot brand or technology
