Automotive tier-1 supplier specializing in complex just-in-time assemblies and tooling
Android Industries manufactures complex assemblies and custom tooling for the automotive supply chain, running a manufacturing-heavy operation (33 manufacturing roles vs. 5 engineering) anchored in legacy industrial automation (Allen-Bradley, Fanuc, Siemens PLCs, Studio 5000) with 3D CAD and project-management layers on top. Active hiring is concentrated in manufacturing and mid-level roles across US, Mexico, Peru, and Canada—consistent with capacity expansion rather than transformation. Their project pipeline reflects operational maturity: lean implementation, compliance (IATF 16949/ISO 14001), and incremental improvements (automation cell cycle time, equipment uptime) rather than platform shifts.
Android Industries is a privately held automotive supplier headquartered in Auburn Hills, MI, founded in 1974. The company manufactures tire-and-wheel assemblies, chassis-suspension components, interior products, and other complex sub-assemblies using proprietary processes and flexible tooling. They serve global OEM and tier-1 customers on a just-in-time model, managing supply-chain coordination across multiple regions. The business is built on continuous process improvement, lean manufacturing, and custom tooling design—maintaining IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 certifications. Current focus areas include equipment reliability, cycle-time reduction, and production-efficiency optimization.
Primarily industrial automation (Allen-Bradley PLC, Fanuc robots, Siemens Step 7, Studio 5000, HMI, PROFINET), 3D CAD (AutoCAD, Solidworks), ERP/project management (QAD, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project), and standard Microsoft Office suite.
Equipment uptime, cycle-time targets, production efficiency, inventory flow, workplace safety, and on-time delivery. Projects focus on automation improvement, lean deployment, and compliance maintenance.
