About the role

McMaster-Carr, a long-standing e‑commerce leader in Chicago's distribution world, is expanding automation to improve reliability and throughput. You will contribute to material handling, controls, software, analytics, and AI across AS/RS, packaging, conveyor, and sortation systems. The role emphasizes building standards, solving complex problems, and delivering data-driven improvements in a high‑uptime environment. Excellent communication and project execution are essential.

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.
