JOB DESCRIPTION ELECTRICAL & AUTOMATION ENGINEER

Position: Electrical & Automation Engineer

Department: Engineering / Automation

Experience: 25 Years

Employment Type: Full Time

About the Company

We are an industrial automation company engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and commissioning of custom automated machines and industrial equipment.

Our machines involve PLC-based control systems, servo motors and drives, stepper motors and drives, VFDs, induction motors, pneumatic cylinders, solenoid valves, sensors, HMI systems and industrial electrical control panels.

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical & Automation Engineer who can take responsibility for the electrical and automation aspects of a machine from design through assembly, programming, commissioning and troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

1. Electrical Design

• Design electrical control systems for industrial automation machines.
• Prepare electrical schematics, control circuits and wiring diagrams.
• Select appropriate MCB, MCCB, contactors, relays, SMPS, fuses, terminals, cables and other electrical components.
• Design machine control panels and prepare panel layouts.
• Prepare electrical BOMs, cable schedules, terminal plans and I/O lists.
• Carry out electrical load calculations and component sizing.
• Ensure proper electrical protection, earthing and control-panel safety.

2. PLC & HMI

• Develop and modify PLC programs for automation machines.
• Configure PLC digital and analog I/O.
• Develop machine sequences, interlocks and control logic.
• Develop and modify HMI screens.
• Implement alarm, fault and diagnostic systems.
• Troubleshoot PLC and HMI-related issues during machine commissioning.

3. Motion Control

Hands-on experience with:

• Servo motors and servo drives
• Stepper motors and stepper drives
• Positioning systems
• Encoders
• Motion control
• Servo homing and positioning
• Acceleration/deceleration parameters
• Basic servo tuning and troubleshooting

Candidate should be capable of understanding the application requirement and selecting/sizing an appropriate motor and drive.

4. VFD & Motor Control

• Selection and commissioning of VFDs.
• Configuration of VFD parameters.
• Control of induction motors.
• Motor protection and starter circuits.
• Troubleshooting VFD, motor and control‑circuit faults.
• Understanding of speed, frequency, torque and acceleration requirements.

5. Pneumatic Automation

Candidate should understand the electrical interface of pneumatic systems, including:

• Solenoid valves
• Pneumatic cylinders
• Reed/proximity sensors
• Pressure switches/sensors
• FRL systems
• Cylinder extend/retract feedback
