We are seeking a talented and innovative Mechatronics Engineer with experience in the metal manufacturing industry. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in the integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering principles to develop, optimize, and maintain automated systems and equipment used in metal manufacturing processes. The Mechatronics Engineer will work closely with cross‑functional teams to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of manufacturing systems.

• Design, develop, and integrate mechatronic systems, including robotics, automated machinery, and control systems, for metal manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, stamping, welding, and metal forming.
• Develop, implement, and troubleshoot control systems (PLC, SCADA, DCS) to optimize the operation of automated equipment and machinery in the metal manufacturing environment.
• Work on integrating mechanical, electrical, and software components of production systems, ensuring seamless operation and maximum efficiency across various manufacturing stages.
• Analyze system performance and identify areas for improvement; implement solutions to optimize speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency, while troubleshooting and resolving issues in automated systems.
• Use CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD) to design mechanical parts and assemblies; employ simulation tools for testing and validating system designs and modifications.
• Ensure the continuous operation of mechatronic systems by performing preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, and coordinating system upgrades or replacements to improve performance.
• Collaborate with production teams to assess existing manufacturing processes, identify opportunities for automation, and propose technical improvements to reduce costs and increase throughput.
• Provide technical support and training to manufacturing personnel on the use of automated systems and new equipment; help resolve issues related to machinery, controls, and system malfunctions.
• Maintain accurate documentation for system designs, programming, and maintenance activities; ensure compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.
• Work closely with engineering, production, and quality teams to develop project timelines, manage tasks, and deliver projects on time; participate in the selection and procurement of new equipment.
• Stay updated with the latest trends and advancements in mechatronics and automation technologies; propose innovative solutions to enhance manufacturing capabilities.

• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience:
  
  Minimum of 3 years of experience in mechatronics engineering, automation, or a related field, preferably in a metal manufacturing or industrial automation environment.
• Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and software systems and how they interact.
• Proficiency in PLC programming, industrial control systems, and automation software (e.g., Siemens, Allen‑Bradley).
• Familiarity with CAD software (e.g., Solid Works, AutoCAD) for designing mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Experience with robotics and automation systems used in manufacturing processes.
• Knowledge of industrial sensors, actuators, and instrumentation used in metal manufacturing.
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, and software issues in complex systems.
• Experience with system simulation, motion control, and data analysis tools.
• Familiarity with industry standards and safety regulations in manufacturing.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities, with a creative and practical approach to engineering challenges.
