Electrical Automation Engineer

Principal accountabilities/Main tasks:

1. Process Analysis & Concept Creation

Process Evaluation: Assess manual/semi-automated tasks to identify quality risks and high-potential automation

opportunities.

Concept Creation: Propose technical ideas for cycle-time reduction and complex task automation (handling, measuring,

testing, and packaging).

2. Electrical Design

Survey project requirements and develop electrical control architecture.

Sizing, component selection (PLC, Inverters, Servos, Sensors, Safety, Pneumatics), and BOM creation.

Draft electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams using EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical.

3. PLC Programming & Control Systems

Develop PLC control logic based on sequence flowcharts (Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff).

Design intuitive HMI/SCADA interfaces.

Program Motion Control (Servo, Stepper, Inverters) and integrate field devices via industrial communications

(PROFINET, Ether CAT, Ethernet/IP, Modbus).

4. Integration, Testing & Handover

Supervise technicians on panel build and machine wiring.

Perform code loading, debugging, cycle-time optimization, and joint testing (Dry/Wet run) with Mechanical Engineers.

Prepare operational manuals, troubleshooting guides, and conduct end-user/maintenance training.

Skills/Knowledge/Experience:

Bachelor's degree in electrical, Electronics, Automation, Mechatronics, or related fields.

5+ years of experience in electrical design and PLC programming for custom automation (SPM, System Integrators, or

Electronics/Semiconductor manufacturing).

Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, 5S, and Poka-Yoke / Error-Proofing is a strong advantage.

Proficient in EPLAN / AutoCAD Electrical and major PLC platforms (Siemens TIA Portal, Mitsubishi GX Works, Omron

Sysmac Studio).

Strong background in Industrial Ethernet protocols (PROFINET, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP) and Serial protocols.

Experience with Vision systems (Cognex, Keyence) or Industrial Robots (FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa) is a plus.

Solid logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and technical English reading capability.

Ability to read basic mechanical drawings for seamless cross-functional collaboration.

High sense of responsibility, stress tolerance, and willingness to undertake short-term travel for deployment.
