Job description

Role & Responsibilities

Design and interpret wiring layouts, Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), panel layouts, and electrical schematics for industrial and commercial systems.

• Select cables based on load, voltage drop, insulation type, and application; plan cable routing

• Ensure compliance with IEC, NEC, and Indian Electricity (IE) rules, including grounding systems, earthling requirements, and PPE usage.

• Handle single-phase and three-phase power distribution, neutral/earthling design, and load balancing.

• Oversee conduit routing, panel assembly, termination, and power/control wiring during installation activities.

Prepare BOQ and load distribution charts.

Manage UPS systems, DG synchronization, inverter systems, and backup power configuration.

• Lead site supervision, installation monitoring, and inspection, testing, and commissioning activities.

• Program, troubleshoot, and commission PLC-based industrial automation systems (Delta PLC preferred; Allen-Bradley/Siemens exposure an advantage).

• Develop HMI interfaces, machine sequence logic, alarms, and interlocks.
• Configure and commission VFDs, servo drives, and motion control systems.
• Integrate industrial devices — barcode scanners, weighing scales, vision cameras, printers, RFID systems, sensors — with PLC-based systems.

• Work with industrial communication protocols: Modbus RTU/TCP-IP, Ethernet/IP, Profinet, RS232/RS-485.

• Design control panels and prepare GA drawings, terminal layouts, and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD Electrical or equivalent.

• Select components: PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, servo drives, SMPS, safety relays, contactors, MCBs, MCCBs, sensors, and control accessories.

• Prepare BOM, cable schedules, I/O lists, and terminal plans for automation projects.
• Conduct I/O validation, loop checking, functional testing, and customer acceptance activities.
• Support encoder-based positioning, conveyor automation, sorting systems, and material handling equipment integration.

• Manage industrial networking basics — Ethernet switches, IP addressing, network diagnostics, and remote machine support.

• Maintain as-built drawings, testing reports, commissioning checklists, O&M manuals, and material tracking records.

• Coordinate with Mechanical Design, Software Development, Production, Purchase, Quality, and Service teams through project execution.

• Analyze machine/electrical issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions.
• Drive R&D initiatives — new automation solutions, machine enhancements, and POC projects — from concept to deployment.

• Lead and mentor a team of electrical/automation engineers across projects.
• Coordinate with vendors and contractors for execution and quality compliance.
• Take ownership of project timelines, technical decision-making, and customer-facing communication during commissioning.

Requirements

• Good in communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills for electrical, control, and automation systems.
• Proven ability to lead site execution and mentor a team of electrical/automation engineers
