Job Description
This role requires expertise in control systems PLC programming HMI design and troubleshooting automation equipment. The engineer will collaborate with crossfunctional teams to ensure the efficient and safe operation of manufacturing processes drive continuous improvement and maintain compliance with industry standards.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Design and Development:
Design program and troubleshoot PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) HMI (HumanMachine Interface) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for manufacturing processes.
Develop control strategies to optimize the performance of production equipment.
Create electrical schematics and control panel layouts.
Collaborate with the design and production teams to integrate control systems into new equipment and processes.
2. Installation and Commissioning:
Oversee the installation and commissioning of automated systems ensuring proper setup and functionality.
Program and configure variable frequency drives (VFDs) servo motors and other automated equipment.
Conduct FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests) and SAT (Site Acceptance Tests) to ensure that systems meet performance and safety standards.
3. Maintenance and Troubleshooting:
Provide technical support for electrical and control systems diagnosing and resolving issues in a timely manner.
Monitor system performance and make adjustments as needed to improve efficiency and reliability.
Develop and maintain documentation including control system schematics software and operational manuals.
4. Continuous Improvement:
Identify opportunities for improving manufacturing efficiency and quality through automation and control system upgrades (line balancing).
Lead and participate in root cause analysis for equipment failures and process inefficiencies.
Implement best practices for predictive maintenance automation standards and safety protocols.
5. Compliance and Safety:
Ensure all control systems comply with industry standards such as OSHA NEC and IEC.
Develop and enforce safety protocols related to electrical and control systems.
Stay updated on relevant industry technologies regulations and trends.
