Custom precision manufacturing automation for medical, energy, and transportation
Eclipse Automation designs and builds specialized machinery for industrial production across healthcare, energy, and transportation sectors. The company runs a 501–1,000-person operation anchored in mechanical engineering (31 open roles, mostly mid-to-senior) paired with internal manufacturing capacity (15 roles). The tech stack reveals a legacy-heavy environment—Visual Basic 6, .NET Framework, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SAP dominate—with active pain points around modernizing VB6 applications and resourcing, suggesting the hiring velocity is driven by both growth and technical debt paydown rather than new-product momentum.
Eclipse Automation, headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario and publicly traded, has operated since 2001 as a full-stack machinery integrator. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates custom automated production systems. Customer verticals include medical devices, energy generation, transportation, food processing, and consumer goods—each requiring systems capable of high uptime and precision. The active project list reflects a project-services model: prototype design for new RFQs, equipment retrofits, system relocations, and custom builds for specific divisions (notably energy). Internal focus areas include database modernization, supply-chain continuity, and operational efficiency across departments.
Core tools include Fanuc (robotics), Mastercam and AutoCAD (CAD/CAM), SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM (design/lifecycle), .NET Framework and C# (backend), MySQL and PostgreSQL (databases), SAP and Oracle (ERP), and Dynamics 365 Business Central (accounting). Visual Basic 6 remains in production systems.
