Automation Integration Engineer (Mechatronics)

We are hiring a Mid-Level Automation Integration Engineer with a specialization in Mechatronics to support the design, integration, and optimization of automation systems. This role plays a pivotal part in bridging mechanical, electrical, and software components to create seamless and efficient industrial automation solutions. The ideal candidate has practical experience in automation projects with strong technical problem-solving capabilities and a focus on real-world system performance.

Key Focus Areas:

1. PLC and HMI Development

• Design and develop logic-based control programs using PLC platforms (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi).

• Create and optimize Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) to support operators and technicians in system use.

2. System Integration

• Lead the integration of mechanical, electrical, and control components across production or testing systems.

• Ensure smooth communication between devices using protocols like Modbus, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, etc.

3. Robotics and Motion Control

• Program and integrate robotic arms (e.g., FANUC, ABB, KUKA) into automation lines.

• Configure servo drives, VFDs, and motion controllers for high-precision applications.

4. Commissioning and Troubleshooting

• Conduct on-site commissioning, testing, and system validation.

• Perform root cause analysis and resolve integration or performance issues in real time.

5. Documentation and Compliance

• Develop comprehensive documentation including system architecture diagrams, control logic charts, and safety assessments.

• Ensure compliance with relevant safety and industry standards (e.g., ISO 12100, IEC 60204-1, ISO 13849).

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical/Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent.

• 3–5 years of hands-on experience in automation integration, preferably in manufacturing, process automation, or machinery development.

• Understanding of control panel design, wiring diagrams, and safety circuits.

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Experience with digital twin simulation, 3D system modeling (e.g., Siemens NX, SolidWorks).

• Familiarity with Industrial IoT platforms or cloud integration.

• Programming in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB for automation tasks or data handling.

• Previous exposure to regulated industries (pharmaceutical, food & beverage, automotive).
