Automation Engineer Stewartville, MN | Full-Time | On-Site
About the Role
GEOTEK engineers and manufactures high-performance pultruded composite structural products used in electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure across North America and globally. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years and are continuing to grow.
We’re looking for an Automation Engineer to own and advance the automation capabilities on our production floor. This role sits at the intersection of software and hardware — you’ll be responsible for existing factory automation systems (PLC controls, robotics, mechanical and hydraulic systems) while also identifying and leading new automation opportunities that improve safety, quality, and efficiency.
It’s a hands-on role. You’ll be on the floor troubleshooting real problems, then back at your desk writing code, developing work instructions, or presenting your findings. If you like seeing the direct impact of your work, this environment delivers that.

The compensation range for this position is $66,265 - $113,312 annually. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications. The posted range represents the expected earning potential for this position within the current organizational budget and market conditions.
