Automation Process Engineer, Precision Automation & Cable Assembly
ClearPath Medical – Tustin, CA
No relocation assistance. U.S. work authorization required.
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.
We're scaling rapidly and redefining medical device automation with in‑house robotic cells, vision‑guided precision, and fixtures that enable sub‑millimeter placement repeatability at volume.
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. The role is 80% shop floor, 20% SolidWorks and design work.
Day‑to‑Day Impact
Design, fabricate, and deploy custom automation cells, tooling, and fixtures that deliver repeatable precision and accuracy.
Build and assemble machines, including mechanical framing, pneumatics, wiring, sensors, and safety systems, from concept through completion.
Program and commission PLCs, HMIs, vision systems, cobots, dispensers, soldering robots, and crimpers.
Fabricate prototype components using mills, lathes, drill presses, and 3D printers, and modify off‑the‑shelf parts as needed.
Lead automation projects from concept to FAT/SAT, acting as integrator, builder, and troubleshooter.
Write SOPs, work instructions, and PLC logic that operators execute flawlessly on day one.
Balance lines, run time studies, and 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, and integration.
Experience with vision‑guided label application (± 0.2 mm or tighter), automated crimping with force/distance monitoring, robotic soldering (laser or iron), and 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, and debug on the floor.
Comfortable using machine shop equipment (manual mill, lathe, bandsaw, drill press, grinders, and welding when needed).
Lean toolkit: SMED, line balancing, quick‑change fixtures.
Project leadership scoped, budgeted, and launched cells on time, under budget.
We Offer
Direct bottom‑line impact.
Medical/dental/vision coverage 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, along with a 2‑minute note or video on one automation cell or machine you built, including specs, challenges, and results.
