Position Summary
The Automation & Controls Engineer is responsible for the complete electrical and logical lifecycle of
high-precision Fixtures used in Electronic Gadget Manufacturing. This is a hands-on role requiring a blend of expert-level
PLC/HMI programming and meticulous
electrical craftsmanship. The goal is to deliver automated fixtures (for assembly, testing, or dispensing) that are technically superior, electrically safe, and aesthetically organized.
Core Responsibilities
- Control Logic & HMI Development
- Logic Programming: Interpret written technical requirements and drawings to develop robust PLC logic tailored for precision gadget handling. Perform comprehensive testing of the logic against customer-defined "Acceptance Criteria."
- HMI Interfacing: Design intuitive HMI screens for fixture operation and ensure seamless communication between the PLC, HMI, and other electronic components (sensors, actuators, controllers, etc).
- Rapid Modifications: Perform quick logic updates and hardware adjustments based on real-time customer suggestions or assembly feedback during the fixture build phase.
- Electrical Integration & Craftsmanship
- Wiring & Routing: Execute neat and organized wiring layouts. Prioritize aesthetics and efficiency in cable management to ensure the fixture is production-ready and professional.
- Precision Soldering: Perform high-quality soldering for connectors, pins, and delicate electronic components, ensuring long-term durability and signal integrity for high-cycle fixture use.
- Component Awareness: Demonstrate deep knowledge of all circuit components (SMPS, Relays, Circuit Breakers, etc.) to ensure correct selection and fitment as per the fixture drawing.
- Safety, Grounding & Standards
- Electrical Safety: Implement rigorous safety protocols in circuit design to protect both the operator and the sensitive electronic gadgets being processed.
- Grounding Expertise: Apply advanced knowledge of grounding and shielding techniques to eliminate electrical noise and ensure stable sensor performance in an electronic manufacturing environment.
- Testing & Troubleshooting
- System Validation: Lead the electrical and logical troubleshooting of the fixture. Identify and resolve root causes of communication errors, signal drops, or hardware faults.
- Documentation: Maintain accurate "As-Built" wiring diagrams and logic revision history for the final fixture handover.
Technical Requirements
- Education & Experience
- Qualification: B.E. / B.Tech / Diploma in Electrical, Electronics, or Mechatronics Engineering.
- Experience: 3–5 years in industrial automation, specifically involving testing jigs, assembly fixtures, or SPMs for the electronics industry.
- Specialized Skills
- Software: Proficiency in PLC/HMI software (e.g., Siemens TIA Portal, Delta , Mitsubishi GX Works, or Omron).
- Tools: Expert use of soldering stations, multimeters, ferruling, and crimping tools.
- Schematic Literacy: Exceptional ability to read and implement complex electrical wiring drawings and "Sequence of Operation" documents for automated fixtures.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs)
- Logic Accuracy: Minimal revisions required after the initial functional test of the fixture.
- Wiring Aesthetics: Adherence to "Neat & Professional" routing standards with zero loose connections.
- Responsiveness: Rapid turnaround time for customer-requested logic or hardware modifications.
- Safety Compliance: 100% adherence to electrical safety and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) grounding standards during FAI.
