Collaborate with test and equipment engineering to integrate new test sequences, data interfaces, and product change requirements into existing automation
Drive process improvement using data-driven insights (OEE, downtime, MTBF) to optimize cycle time, quality, and safety
Troubleshoot PLCs, servo drives, robots, and field networks (EtherCAT, Profinet, or CANOpen) in real time to minimize production downtime.
What we are looking for:
5+ years of professional experience
Degree in Electrical, Controls, or Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
3+ years of hands-on experience in controls engineering for automated manufacturing or electro-mechanical assembly systems
Proficiency in IEC 61131-3 PLC programming languages, especially structured text and ladder logic
Experience with Siemens TIA Portal (S7 series PLCs) / Beckhoff TwinCAT, Safety PLCs (SIMATIC Safety or TwinSAFE), and HMI/SCADA (WinCC, TwinCAT HMI, or Ignition), OPC UA
Strong knowledge of motion control, servo systems, Conveyors, VFDs and fieldbus communications (EtherCAT, Profinet, DeviceNet)
Demonstrated ability to perform root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions under fast-paced, high-stakes conditions
Understanding of automation architecture, component selection (sensors, drives, relays, circuit protection), and design for maintainability
Requirement configuration, code configuration tools (DOORs, JAMA etc.).
