About the role

Eli Lilly and Company is seeking an Sr. Principal Automation Engineer to guide process control strategy and execution at the Lilly Medicines Foundry in Lebanon, Indiana. You will mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and drive commissioning and validation for greenfield/brownfield projects. The role emphasizes DCS/DeltaV, Rockwell, and MES tools, with cross-functional collaboration to ensure compliant, reliable operations and continuous improvement in a GMP environment.

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.
