Automation Process Engineer – Precision Automation & Cable Assembly
ClearPath Medical | Tustin, CA
No relocation assistance | U.S. work authorization required
Who We Are ClearPath Medical is an engineer‑owned contract manufacturer that designs, builds, and ships custom medical cable assemblies 100 % in‑house at our Tustin, CA facility. No layers of management. No offshore delays. Just a lean team turning intricate interconnect designs into FDA‑compliant, life‑critical products.
The Role You’ll
design, build, and optimize automated machines and processes
for electro‑mechanical medical cable assemblies: robotic label placement, automated stripping, crimping, soldering, and epoxy dispensing. 80 % shop floor, 20 % desk—SolidWorks at 8 AM, machining a fixture or debugging a cobot by 10 AM.
Day‑to‑Day Impact
Design, fabricate, and deploy
custom automation cells, tooling, and fixtures that deliver repeatable precision.
Build and assemble machines —mechanical framing, pneumatics, wiring, sensors, and safety systems from concept through runoff.
Program and commission
PLCs, HMIs, vision systems, cobots, dispensers, soldering robots, and crimpers.
Fabricate prototype components
using mills, lathes, drill presses, and 3D printers; modify off‑the‑shelf parts when needed.
Lead automation projects
from concept to FAT/SAT— you are the integrator, builder, and troubleshooter.
Create
DFM fixtures, poka‑yoke tooling, and changeover systems that cut setup from 30 min to
Write
bulletproof SOPs, work instructions, and PLC logic that operators execute flawlessly on day one.
Balance lines
and run time studies to achieve > 95 % OEE on high‑mix, low‑volume runs.
Partner with Quality
to lock in zero‑defect crimps, solder joints, and epoxy cures.
You Bring
7+ years
automating precise placement & joining processes (medical, aerospace, or electronics contract manufacturing).
Proven track record
building machines or automation cells end‑to‑end—mechanical design, fabrication, wiring, integration.
Experience with:
Vision‑guided label application (± 0.2 mm or tighter)
Automated crimping with force/distance monitoring
Robotic soldering (laser or iron)
Precision epoxy dispensing (time‑pressure or auger)
Fluent
in SolidWorks/Inventor for fixtures & DFM; GD&T and tolerance stacks second nature.
Hands‑on
with Studio 5000, URScript, Keyence IV, Epson RC+, Nordson valves, and other automation platforms—you debug on the floor.
Comfortable
using machine shop equipment (manual mill, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, grinders, and welding when needed).
Project leadership —scoped, budgeted, and launched cells on time, under budget.
Builder’s grit —you’ve 3D‑printed nozzles, machined brackets, wired e‑stops, and tuned PID loops after hours to hit spec.
We Offer
Direct bottom‑line impact.
Medical/dental/vision and PTO.
Zero red tape —pitch Monday, prototype Tuesday, qualify next week.
Shop‑floor vibe: jeans, safety glasses, shipping product that ends up in an OR.
How to Apply Send
your resume plus a 2‑minute note or video on one automation cell or machine you built —specs, challenges, and results.
Local Orange County only. Interviews start this week. No sponsorship.
