Job description

Your Job

We are seeking a skilled Electrical Maintenance Engineer to oversee, maintain, and improve the electrical and control systems of a vacuum‑coated glass production line. The ideal candidate will have experience in high‑vacuum equipment, automation systems, and industrial power distribution and will be responsible for ensuring equipment reliability, minimizing downtime, and implementing preventive and predictive maintenance strategies for all electrical and control components.

What You Will Do

• Perform electrical maintenance of vacuum coating equipment, including magnetron sputtering systems, power supplies, PLCs, drives, sensors, and control panels.
• Troubleshoot and repair electrical and electronic faults on vacuum chambers, loading/unloading systems, and glass transport mechanisms.
• Develop and implement preventive maintenance (PM) schedules for all electrical systems and components on the coating line.
• Support production by minimizing unplanned electrical downtime and ensuring maximum equipment availability.
• Monitor electrical system performance and participate in root cause analysis (RCA) for chronic electrical or automation failures.
• Maintain up‑to‑date documentation, including electrical drawings, maintenance logs, and failure reports.
• Collaborate with mechanical, automation, and process engineers to optimize equipment reliability and performance.
• Recommend and implement improvements in electrical design, control logic, and energy efficiency.
• Manage spare parts inventory for electrical components and coordinate with vendors for procurement and technical support.
• Ensure all electrical maintenance activities comply with safety standards, lockout/tagout procedures, and relevant regulations.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical maintenance, preferably in glass processing, coating, or high‑vacuum equipment industries.
• Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, including power distribution, control circuits, and motor drives.
• Experience with PLC programming, troubleshooting, and control system integration (Siemens, Allen‑Bradley, or similar).
• Familiarity with vacuum coating equipment, high‑voltage power supplies, and automation networks (Profibus, Modbus, Ethernet/IP).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control logic.
• Experience with CMMS software (e.g., SAP PM, Maximo) preferred.
• Understanding of instrumentation, sensors, and process control systems.
• Experience in the glass coating industry (architectural, automotive, or solar).
• Familiarity with SCADA systems and industrial communication protocols.
• Certification in electrical safety, automation, or reliability engineering is an advantage.

Working Conditions

• Factory‑based role with exposure to high‑voltage systems, vacuum environments, and production machinery.
• May require working in shifts or being on‑call during emergencies.
• Use of PPE and adherence to strict safety standards is mandatory.

What Will Put You Ahead

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work independently under pressure and in rotating shifts (if required).
