About the role
Actalent is seeking an Automation Engineer in Oceanside, CA, to lead end-to-end automation and manufacturing projects from concept through full-scale production. You will design and refine plastics tooling and automated equipment using SolidWorks, develop prototypes, and apply DFMA principles to improve manufacturability.
You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, manage vendor relationships, and drive continuous improvement in throughput, quality, and cost.
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.
