Mechanical Engineer- Automation​/Robotics Corvallis

At Andrews Cooper, we specialize in delivering cutting‑edge engineering solutions in the Hard Tech space, partnering with industry leaders in Consumer Technology, Medical Technology, Clean Technology, and Automation & Robotics. With a mission to solve novel, ambiguous challenges, we help our customers achieve significant differentiation and success in their industries. Our people‑first culture is built on the core values of Own It, Help Each Other Win, and Be Cool, creating an environment where engineers can build fulfilling careers while delivering exceptional work.

• Help Each Other Win—AC values winning as a team over personal recognition. Go out of your way to help a teammate and the team succeed.
• Own It—Don’t wait for someone else to clear the way. Recognize opportunities to improve, and when obstacles arise, join forces to overcome them.
• Be Cool—Be self‑aware, maintain a positive attitude, prioritize emotional intelligence, and maintain composure under pressure.
