Job Description

The Marmon Group LLC

Come join a team where People make the difference! As a part of Marmon Holdings, Inc., a highly decentralized organization, we rely heavily on people with the aptitude, attitude, and entrepreneurial spirit to drive our success, and we're committed to attracting and retaining top talent.

Marmon is a $12 billion industrial conglomerate with over 200 industrial facilities in North America. Over the past 3 years, our Innovation and Automation group has successfully led or assisted with a number of factory and robotic automation projects across Marmon, including the deployment of many new automation systems and pieces of factory equipment, at many Marmon facilities. As we continue to scale our team, process, and reach to execute or assist with dozens of additional projects per year, we’re now looking for an Engineer with extensive process, operations, and LEAN experience to join our growing factory automation team.

Are you a builder? Do you like to define your own solutions and then execute them? Are you tired of the “stay in your lane” attitude? We’re on a mission to help our 200+ businesses invest in themselves by demystifying and streamlining the process of adding factory automation. We’re a group of Engineers identifying blockers, building tools, and executing on projects in the factory automation and process improvement space. Everyone on the team is empowered and expected to make changes to improve the way we do things. You’ll get exposure across all of our business segments to industry-leading executives, engineers, and factories.

This role will involve approximately 30-60% travel. Join us at our mHUB facility in Chicago or TXRX Labs facility in Houston, or “home-room” at one of our many business units local to you. Our work schedule is flexible, but an in-office schedule of 3 days/week is expected when not traveling. Periodic in-person visits to the Chicago office to mentor junior engineers will be also expected for candidates based outside the Chicago area. If this sounds exciting, Marmon is the place for you!

• Automation Projects:
  • Lead the planning, design, and implementation of automation projects to enhance production efficiency, reduce costs, and improve product quality
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, maintenance, IT, and R&D, to ensure seamless integration of automation solutions
  • Evaluate and select automation technologies; facilitate purchasing off-the-shelf options or guide vendors in their design and build of equipment
  • Be hands-on with equipment for the purpose of running tests to understand technology capabilities and to also reduce project risk
• Process Optimization:

  • Model current state and multiple options for future state processes using value stream mapping
  • Conduct time and motion studies, data analyses, and process simulations to support various initiatives
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives when appropriate to directly generate savings and prepare the business for capital investments
• General:
  • Conduct cost-benefit analyses for proposed automation projects, including ROI calculations, to support investment decisions in alignment with Marmon’s 5-year payback guidelines
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and other team members on best practices
  • Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in automation; attend trade shows and industry events and share knowledge with the team as appropriate
