Job Description:
LetsGetChecked is a global healthcare solutions company that
provides the tools to manage health from home through health
testing, virtual care, genetic sequencing, and medication delivery
for a wide range of health and wellness conditions.
LetsGetChecked's end-to-end model includes manufacturing,
logistics, lab analysis, physician support, and prescription
fulfillment. Founded in 2015 and co-headquartered in Dublin and
Atlanta, LetsGetChecked empowers people to take control of their
health and live longer, happier lives. Role Overview LetsGetChecked
is seeking a Junior Automation Engineer to join our rapidly growing
manufacturing team. This is a dynamic, "hands-on" engineering role
designed for an analytical problem-solver. While your primary focus
will be the optimization and oversight of our ABB robotic cells,
you will also serve as a key technical resource for the broader
facility. We are looking for a candidate who thrives on
troubleshooting—someone who doesn't just follow a manual but seeks
to understand the "why" behind system behaviors. During periods of
production downtime, you will pivot to support facility-wide
engineering projects, ensuring our infrastructure is as efficient
as our robotics. Key Responsibilities Robotics & Automation
Oversight Operate & Optimize: Monitor automated production
equipment (ABB robotic arms, bagging systems, etc.) to ensure
maximum uptime and throughput. Technical Troubleshooting: Diagnose
and resolve minor-to-moderate mechanical and software faults in
real-time to minimize production delays. Calibration & Setup: Lead
the precision setup and calibration of robotic cells for different
production runs, ensuring medical-grade accuracy. Analytical
Reporting: Maintain detailed logs of machine performance,
identifying trends in downtime or "near-misses" to propose
long-term fixes. Facility & Systems Support Operational Readiness:
During production downtime, perform preventative maintenance and
repairs on facility-wide distribution and manufacturing
infrastructure. Process Improvement: Assist in the design and
implementation of layout changes, shelving systems, or conveyor
optimizations to improve workflow. Safety & Compliance: Ensure the
entire facility adheres to 5S principles and medical device
manufacturing standards (ISO 13485/FDA). Vendor Coordination:
Support senior engineering staff in overseeing external contractors
for facility upgrades or specialized equipment repairs. What We’re
Looking For The "Fixer" Mindset: A strong analytical approach to
problem-solving. You enjoy taking things apart to see how they work
and finding ways to make them work better. Education: BSc in
Automation, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related Engineering field
is required . Technical Experience: Familiarity with ABB industrial
robots (RobotStudio, Rapid programming) and PLC logic is a
significant advantage. Versatility: Comfortable shifting from a
high-tech robotic interface to hands-on facility maintenance tasks
as business needs evolve. Detail-Oriented: A commitment to the
"Zero Error" mindset necessary for medical device manufacturing.
Communication: Ability to explain technical issues to non-technical
team members clearly and concisely. Benefits: Alongside an hourly
rate of $25 - $30 (Depending on Experience), we offer a range of
benefits including: Full-time employee benefits include: dental,
vision, and multiple group medical plans to choose from, a 401(k)
retirement savings plan, group life insurance, (AD&D)
insurance, flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings
account (HSA), commuter benefits, employer-paid short-term (STD)
and long-term disability (LTD) insurance, and additional
supplemental insurance plans (spouse life insurance, legal
insurance, an employee assistance program, home health testing
kits, and a fertility medication discount program). Employees are
also provided flexible vacation time, accrued paid sick time, 10
paid holidays, (2 floating holidays for full time non-exempt
employees) , and up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave for a
birthing parent, and up to 8 weeks of paid bonding leave for
non-birthing parents, and up to 12 weeks of family caregiver leave,
including 4 paid, to support care for a family member, and a
Lifestyle Spending Account allowance each month. LI-Onsite Why
