About the role

Abbott in Sylmar, CA is seeking an automation controls engineer to support production and process development for FDA-regulated products. This role focuses on controls design, equipment integration, and qualification activities to ensure compliant, efficient manufacturing. You will interface with internal customers, develop automated production equipment, perform validations, and coordinate FAT/SAT while collaborating across cross-functional teams. Travel may be required as projects dictate.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
