Program Overview

The GPSN General Purpose Robotics Development Program builds internal capability in general automation and robotics. Participants perform and are accountable for proof-of-concept testing, shop-floor deployment and enterprise-wide strategic planning and deliver operational and business targets that affect their team and department.

Program Structure

Length of Program: 2 years

Number of Rotations: 3 rotations

Length of Each Rotation: ~8 months

Reporting: Solid line to ERA Leadership, with a dotted line to the site, for the entirety of the program

First Cohort Size: 2 openings, external candidates only

Robotics Skill Development

The areas below reflect potential exposure areas across the program rather than a fixed curriculum. Participants rotate through Newell's businesses to learn their operations and apply existing robotics expertise where it is needed:

• General Purpose Automation and Robotics Foundations: Program, calibrate and test automation solutions with internal and external partners.
• Proof-of-Concept Testing: Design and execute structured test plans and run build-test-learn cycles to validate automation performance against production requirements.
• Pilot Deployment: Transition proof-of-concept activities from vendor testing to live shop-floor operation, including safety validation, workflow integration and operator training.
• Vendor Knowledge Transfer: Work directly with vendor engineering teams to absorb technical knowledge and build Newell's internal capability.
• Safety & Governance: Apply Newell's EHS and machine safety standards to emerging robotic platforms. Scope, submit and advance automation investments through Newell's stage-gate and capital approval process.
• Implementation Planning & Scouting: Evaluate adoption readiness across manufacturing facilities, build implementation plans and research emerging technology and case studies to identify Newell's next general purpose automation opportunities.
