About the role :
As a Manufacturing Controls Engineer, you’ll play a key role in sustaining, improving, and developing advanced automation systems that assemble and validate next-generation products. 
This role demands strong PLC and controls fundamentals, hands-on debugging skills, and a drive to push process efficiency in a high-complexity, high-precision environment. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, acts autonomously, and has a deep technical understanding of automation that supports electro-mechanical assemblies.

What You Will Do

• Lead controls engineering activities across assembly and end-of-line validation 
• Develop and sustain PLC and HMI programs (Siemens TIA Portal or Beckhoff TwinCAT) that ensure high equipment uptime, safety compliance, and operator efficiency
• Collaborate with test and equipment engineering to integrate new test sequences, data interfaces, and product change requirements into existing automation
• Drive process improvement using data-driven insights (OEE, downtime, MTBF) to optimize cycle time, quality, and safety
  Troubleshoot PLCs, servo drives, robots, and field networks (EtherCAT, Profinet, or CANOpen) in real time to minimize production downtime

What You Will Need:

• 5-7  years of professional experience
• Degree in Electrical, Controls, or Mechatronics Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in controls engineering for automated manufacturing or electro-mechanical assembly systems
• Proficiency in IEC 61131-3 PLC programming languages, especially structured text and ladder logic
• Experience with Siemens TIA Portal (S7 series PLCs) / Beckhoff TwinCAT, Safety PLCs (SIMATIC Safety or TwinSAFE), and HMI/SCADA (WinCC, TwinCAT HMI, or Ignition), OPC UA
• Strong knowledge of motion control, servo systems, Conveyors, VFDs and fieldbus communications (EtherCAT, Profinet, DeviceNet)
• Demonstrated ability to perform root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions under fast-paced, high-stakes conditions
• Understanding of automation architecture, component selection (sensors, drives, relays, circuit protection), and design for maintainability
