Omega Design presents its 2017 Machines in Motion Tour recap video. This is the fourth time Omega has hosted this event for local third graders, who are eager to see the six simple machines in action and to learn about packaging automation. This half-day event featured more than 120 students and teachers and is part of Omega's STEM and Community Outreach initiatives.

Workforce Development

Omega advises and partners with educational institutions, governing bodies, and manufacturers to identify and fill industry training gaps, to provide work opportunities, and to promote U.S. manufacturing in general as a viable and rewarding career option.

Manufacturing Careers

Although 'making' and 'assembling' things are critical to our industry, manufacturing careers can be quite diverse.  Omega is always interested in qualified candidates to fill supporting roles in manufacturing, such as: Administrative and Customer Support, Technical Sales, Project Management, Engineering, and Supply Chain Management.

Generally, to fill these positions, Omega seeks candidates who first match our culture of flexibility, creativity and collaboration, and also who have experience or formal education in one of these desired backgrounds:

  • Engineering Skills (Mechanical / Electrical / Robotic)

  • Information Technology (Programming / Network Administration)

  • Trade Skills (Fabrication / Wiring / Assembly)

  • Data Skills (Accounting, Purchasing, Data Analysis)

  • Communication Skills (Marketing, Graphic Arts)

On-Going Opportunities

Omega is committed to personal development and the growth of the U.S. Manufacturing sector and will provide educational opportunities whenever possible. Students, recent graduates, and professionals of all skill levels are encouraged to reach out to us. We would love to hear if you have specific manufacturing or educational goals in mind and think we can help. We might be able to customize a mutually beneficial program, if one doesn't already exist:

  • Summer Internships

  • Senior Design Projects

  • Year-Round Apprenticeships

  • Employee Training, Certification, and Educational Reimbursement

 
 
In this video, we talk about how collaborative robots will serve a critical role in our client’s packaging lines in the coming years and how Omega wants to lead this effort. With our own Baxter, we shall challenge our team to push further into serialization, while continuing to help our community embrace this manufacturing technology. Baxter aligns perfectly with Omega’s vision to Build Stronger Workers, Stronger Manufacturers and a Stronger America.
