Production Engineering Team
As a member of the production engineering team at Zaber, you will be responsible for utilizing your engineering problem-solving and design skills to aid in the smooth and efficient production of our products. This includes working on new product introductions as well as continuing engineering for existing products. The production engineering team collaborates closely with both the mechanical design team and the production team to find innovative solutions to any issues that arise in production.
The team is responsible for a wide range of daily tasks, including problem-solving for production issues and developing automation, testing, and manufacturing solutions to optimize various aspects of Zaber's production processes. This can include finding ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase the overall quality of the end product. Additionally, as technology is advancing, we also focus on implementing new technologies to enhance the production process. The team members are encouraged to bring their own ideas, and with the help of their team, implement those ideas. This can include designing new equipment and tools, creating new processes and procedures, or developing software and control systems to automate certain tasks. With the production engineering team, you will have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects and be involved in the entire production process from start to finish.
Working to Make Automation Easier
At Zaber, we're always working to lower the barriers to automation. Join David Goosen from our Mechanical Engineering Team as he shares how we try to make that happen.
ZX Day
Our annual hackathon is a chance for anyone at the company to put together a team and deliver something that they think is worthwhile. It's a short burst of autonomy where oversight and process tends to take a back seat to creativity and elbow grease. A number of our products and internal tools started out as ZX projects. And even if you don't work on a ZX project, the final stretch is always exciting to watch and culminates in presentations and celebrations.
Parallel Axis Tripteron Concept
Zaber's R&D team does some interesting work in the name of experimentation and exploration and not always with a clear purpose in mind. Such is the path to innovation. A recent example is "Frogbot". .
