    About the job Manufacturing Automation Engineer
    Medical Device Automation | Hands-On Builder Role
    ClearPath Medical - Tustin, CA
    On-site | No relocation | U.S. work authorization required
    Compensation: $85,000 - $115,000 DOE + benefits
    (We pay for real, hands-on automation talent; not buzzwords)
    About ClearPath Medical
    ClearPath Medical is an engineer-owned medical device contract manufacturer specializing in custom medical cable assemblies: designed, built, and shipped entirely in-house in Tustin, CA.
    We operate with short decision loops, minimal bureaucracy, and real ownership. Our automation team builds production-ready solutions that go directly into FDA-regulated manufacturing, not science projects that die on a PowerPoint slide.
    If you enjoy designing, building, wiring, programming, and improving machines yourself, you'll feel at home here.
    The Role (What You'll Actually Do)
    This is a hands-on manufacturing automation role, not a systems architect or desk-only engineering position.
    You'll design and deploy semi-automated and automated equipment for high-mix medical manufacturing, including cable prep, crimping, soldering, labeling, and dispensing.
    Typical work mix:

    • ~70% shop floor (build, debug, improve)
    • ~30% design, documentation, and programming
    Key Responsibilities
    • Design and build custom automation tooling, fixtures, and work cells
    • Improve existing manual or semi-automated processes for safety, repeatability, and throughput
    • Program and debug PLCs, robots, and vision systems used in production
    • Integrate sensors, pneumatics, motion components, and safety systems
    • Support FAT/SAT, production launch, and continuous improvement
    • Create clear SOPs and basic documentation that operators can actually follow
    • Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, and Engineering teams to meet FDA and ISO requirements
    What Were Looking For (Realistic & Local)
    Required
    • 3-7+ years in manufacturing automation, process engineering, or equipment engineering
    • Hands-on experience building or modifying automation used in production
    • Strong mechanical aptitude (fixtures, tooling, mechanisms)
    • Experience with at least one of the following:
      • PLCs or industrial controls
      • Collaborative or industrial robots
      • Vision systems
      • Automated crimping, soldering, labeling, or dispensing
    • CAD experience (SolidWorks or similar)
    • Comfortable working on the shop floor with technicians and operators
    • Able to work on-site in Tustin, CA
    Nice to Have (Not Deal-Breakers)
    • Medical device, aerospace, or electronics manufacturing experience
    • Lean or continuous improvement exposure (SMED, OEE, poka-yoke)
    • Light machining, prototyping, or 3D printing experience
    • Experience validating or supporting FDA-regulated processes
    Important: You do not need to be an expert in everyautomation technology listed. We value builders who learn quickly more than those who focus on checklist perfection.
    Why Engineers Choose ClearPath
    • You own projects end-to-end: design, build, production
    • Decisions happen fast; prototypes happen faster
    • Your work ships into real, life-critical medical devices
    • No layers of management between you and the impact
    • Jeans, safety glasses, and machines, not meetings all day
    Benefits
    • Competitive salary based on experience
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • Paid time off
    • Stable, growing medical manufacturing environment
    • Long-term career growth in automation leadership
