Custom automation systems integrator for manufacturing and distribution
JR Automation designs and builds custom automation systems—robots, control software, vision systems, material handling—for manufacturing plants and distribution centers globally. The tech stack (SolidWorks, CREO, Beckhoff PLCs, RobotStudio, SCADA, AWS) reflects a systems-integration business: heavy CAD/CAM for design, industrial control platforms for on-site commissioning, and emerging cloud infrastructure. Engineering dominates the hiring mix (37 of 53 open roles), with mid-to-senior seniority concentration, signaling sustained project volume and deepening technical complexity around digital twins and virtual commissioning.
JR Automation is a global systems integrator owned by Hitachi Group, headquartered in Holland, Michigan, with over 2,000 employees across 20+ manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, and Asia. The company delivers custom automated systems—spanning robotic assembly, laser welding, material handling, and vision systems—integrated with control software (SCADA, HMI, PLC platforms) and data infrastructure. Core customers are mid-to-large manufacturers and logistics operators seeking to reduce downtime, improve OEE, and achieve Industry 4.0 readiness. Active project work includes custom factory machinery, advanced control system design, and digital twin simulation for virtual commissioning.
CAD/CAM tools (SolidWorks, CREO, AutoCAD, NX, CATIA), industrial control platforms (Beckhoff, Siemens TIA Portal, PLCs, HMI, SCADA, RobotStudio), and business software (Salesforce, Jira, Power BI, AWS). Heavy emphasis on simulation and digital twin tools.
Custom automation projects include factory machinery design, robotic control systems, vision and dispensing equipment configuration, and advanced simulation tools for virtual commissioning and digital twins. Also developing amusement park ride automation systems.
