- Commission and troubleshoot automation systems both in‑house and at customer sites.
- Integrate sensors, actuators, motion systems, vision systems, and safety devices as part of complete machine control.
- Provide post‑installation support and assist with customer training when required.
- Ensure all control systems comply with applicable safety standards (e.g., UL, CE, NFPA 79).
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years of experience in industrial automation, with a focus on PLC and HMI programming.
- Proficiency in one or more major PLC platforms (e.g., Allen‑Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, Mitsubishi, etc.).
- Experience with HMI development tools (e.g., Factory Talk View, WinCC, Ignition, etc.).
- Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and control drawings.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills.
