Automation Process Engineer – Precision Automation & Cable Assembly

ClearPath Medical | Tustin, CA

No relocation assistance | U.S. work authorization required

Who We Are

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. If you get a rush watching a robot nail a 0.2 mm crimp on the first cycle, you’ll thrive here.

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. This is 80% shop floor, 20% desk— SolidWorks at 8 AM, machining a fixture or debugging a cobot by 10 AM.

Day-to-Day Impact

• Design, fabricate, and deploy custom automation cells, tooling, and fixtures that deliver repeatable precision.
• Build and assemble machines —mechanical framing, pneumatics, wiring, sensors, and safety systems—from concept through runoff.
• Program and commission PLCs, HMIs, vision systems, cobots, dispensers, soldering robots, and crimpers.
• Fabricate prototype components using mills, lathes, drill presses, and 3D printers; modify off-the-shelf parts when needed.
• Lead automation projects from concept to FAT / SAT —you are the integrator, builder, and troubleshooter.
• Create DFM fixtures, poka-yoke tooling, and changeover systems that cut setup from 30 min to
• Write bulletproof 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.
