Automation Engineering

Candidates need 3-5 years of work experience as an automation engineer and a bachelor’s degree in engineering

********* Experience with Rockwell automation equipment a must!!!!!!

• Maintain PLC programs primarily using Rockwell Automation (Allen‑Bradley) platforms, including Control Logix, Compact Logix, and Micro Logix.
• Troubleshoot HMI/SCADA systems (e.g., Factory Talk View SE/ME, Ignition) to support production monitoring and control.
• Support the full lifecycle of automation projects from concept and requirements definition through installation, startup, and handover to operations.
• Diagnose and resolve control system faults, instrumentation issues, and electrical failures to minimize production downtime.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation including P&IDs, electrical schematics, control narratives, and programming standards.
• Collaborate with process engineers to implement control strategies that optimize throughput, quality, and safety.
• Perform routine audits of control systems to identify risks and recommend preventative maintenance or improvement actions.
• Provide on‑call and on‑site technical support for critical production systems as required.
• Train and mentor maintenance technicians and operators on control system operation and basic troubleshooting.
• Ensure all systems comply with applicable safety standards (NFPA 70, OSHA, ISA/IEC) and internal engineering guidelines.

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 3–5 years of hands‑on experience in industrial controls and automation engineering within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated proficiency with Rockwell Automation / Allen‑Bradley PLC platforms (Control Logix, Compact Logix) and Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000 programming software.
• Experience with HMI and SCADA configuration (Factory Talk View, Wonderware, or similar).
• Strong understanding of industrial networking protocols including Ether Net/IP, Device Net, Profibus, and Modbus.
• Working knowledge of instrumentation, sensors, variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo systems, and motor control centers (MCCs).

• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and mechanical drawings.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a systematic approach to troubleshooting.
• Effective communication and documentation skills with the ability to present technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.

• Rockwell Automation Certified Logix Designer (CLD) certification.
• Experience with batch control systems and ISA-88 batch standards.
• Familiarity with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and integration with ERP platforms (e.g., SAP).
• Knowledge of robot programming and integration (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, or similar).
• Experience with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement methodologies.
• Prior experience in process industries such as food & beverage, chemicals, packaging, or life sciences.

Familiarity with cybersecurity best practices for industrial control systems (ICS).
