Key Responsibilities:

** System Design & Architecture:*
* +  Lead the conceptualization, design, and specification of complex control systems, including hardware selection (PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors, actuators) and network architecture.

+  Develop detailed electrical schematics, I/O lists, and wiring diagrams in collaboration with electrical engineers.

+  Define control strategies, safety interlocks, and operational sequences, always considering manufacturing process flow, cycle time optimization, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

** Co De Sys  Programming & Development (Core Responsibility):*
* + Expertly program, test, and debug PLC logic using Co De Sys  (IEC 61131-3) in various languages (ST, FBD, LD, SFC).

+ Develop and implement reusable Co De Sys  libraries, function blocks, and structured text routines, ensuring solutions are robust, maintainable, and scalable for production environments.

+ Integrate and configure various fieldbus protocols (e.g., Ether

CAT, PROFINET, Modbus TCP/IP, CANopen) within the Co De Sys  environment.

+ Develop and integrate HMI/SCADA applications using Co De Sys  visualization or other compatible platforms, prioritizing operator usability, process visibility, and diagnostic capabilities for manufacturing personnel.

** Commissioning & Troubleshooting:*
* + Lead the on-site commissioning, testing, and tuning of control systems, ensuring optimal performance and adherence to specifications, with a focus on achieving production targets and minimizing downtime.

+ Perform advanced troubleshooting and diagnostics of complex hardware and software issues, often under pressure in a live manufacturing environment.

+ Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and software engineers to resolve system integration challenges, understanding their impact on the manufacturing line

**-Documentation & Standards:*
* + Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including functional specifications, design documents, test plans, and as-built drawings, which are essential for long-term manufacturing support and maintenance.

+ Ensure all control system designs and implementations comply with relevant industry standards (e.g., UL, CE, NFPA, ISO, ANSI) and manufacturing specific regulations.

+ Adhere to established coding standards and best practices for Co De Sys  development.

** Project Leadership & Mentorship:*
* + Lead technical aspects of projects, including scope definition, scheduling, and resource allocation, considering production timelines and resource availability within a manufacturing context.

+ Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior controls engineers, fostering their development in Co De Sys  and control system design with an emphasis on practical manufacturing applications.

+ Participate in design reviews and provide constructive feedback.

** Continuous Improvement & Manufacturing Optimization:*
* + Stay abreast of new technologies, industry trends, and best practices in industrial automation and Co De Sys , specifically those applicable to improving manufacturing processes and efficiency.

+ Proactively identify opportunities for process improvement, standardization, cost reduction
