Do you excel at creating automated solutions that optimize production, reduce errors, and enhance productivity? If you’re ready to build automation systems that power the future of industrial operations,
our client
has the perfect role for you. We’re looking for an
Automation Engineer
(aka The Efficiency Architect) to develop, implement, and maintain automated systems that drive operational success.As an Automation Engineer at
our client , you’ll work closely with engineering, production, and IT teams to design control systems, program PLCs, and implement automation processes that support complex manufacturing and operational needs. Your role will be pivotal in ensuring seamless, efficient operations through reliable, innovative automation.Key Responsibilities:Design and Implement Automation Solutions:
Develop control systems and automation solutions tailored to specific production or operational needs. You’ll analyze requirements and design automation workflows that optimize process efficiency and accuracy.Program and Configure PLCs and HMI Systems:
Write, test, and optimize PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) code for various automation processes. You’ll design Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to provide operators with intuitive control and monitoring of automated systems.Integrate and Troubleshoot Sensors and Actuators:
Configure and integrate sensors, actuators, and control devices to monitor and execute automated processes. You’ll ensure accurate, real-time data collection for process adjustments and optimization.Perform System Testing, Validation, and Optimization:
Conduct rigorous testing and validation of automation systems to verify performance and reliability. You’ll analyze data and refine processes to achieve optimal operation and minimal downtime.Collaborate on Process Improvement Projects:
Work with cross-functional teams to identify areas for automation and process improvement. You’ll provide insights and solutions that streamline workflows and increase productivity.Document Automation Processes and Procedures:
Maintain detailed documentation of automation code, system configurations, and operating procedures. You’ll ensure clear records for maintenance, troubleshooting, and future upgrades.Stay Updated on Automation and Control Technologies:
Keep current with advancements in automation, control systems, and industrial IoT. You’ll evaluate new tools and technologies that enhance efficiency, flexibility, and scalability.Required Skills:Proficiency in Control Systems and PLC Programming:
Strong understanding of control theory and experience with PLC programming (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens) for industrial automation.Experience with HMI and SCADA Systems:
Familiarity with designing HMI and SCADA systems for monitoring and controlling automated processes.Knowledge of Sensors, Actuators, and Instrumentation:
Experience configuring and integrating sensors, actuators, and instrumentation within automated systems.Analytical and Problem-Solving Skills:
Ability to analyze system performance, troubleshoot issues, and implement solutions for optimized operation.Programming and Scripting Skills:
Proficiency in programming languages like Python or C++ and knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, Profibus, OPC).Educational Requirements:Bachelor’s degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
Equivalent experience in automation engineering may be considered.Certifications in PLC programming, automation, or control systems (e.g., Siemens, Rockwell Automation) are advantageous.Experience Requirements:3+ years of experience in automation engineering or control systems,
with a focus on designing and implementing industrial automation solutions.Experience with simulation and modeling tools, such as MATLAB or AutoCAD, for control system design is beneficial.Familiarity with industrial IoT and data collection from automation systems is a plus.
