Automation Engineer

Description

Job Summary: We are seeking a technician with experience in automation, control systems, cutting machinery, and hydraulic/pneumatic systems for preventive maintenance and fault diagnosis. Key Highlights: 1. Expert in diagnosing complex failures and preventive maintenance. 2. Extensive experience with PLCs, sensors, actuators, and CNC systems. 3. In-depth knowledge of hydraulics, pneumatics, and blueprint reading. Automation and Control Competencies * **PLCs (Siemens and Rockwell):** Ability to perform diagnostics (troubleshooting), real-time signal monitoring, and replacement of I/O modules. * **Sensors and Actuators:** Maintenance of limit switches, inductive sensors, positioning lasers, and encoders. * **Safety:** Knowledge of safety light curtains and emergency stop relays integrated into the PLC. Specialization in Cutting Machinery * **Precision Mechanics:** Adjustment of linear guides, ball screws, and alignment of cutting heads. * **Tooling:** Replacement and calibration of cutting consumables (discs, nozzles, or blades). * **CNC Systems:** Basic familiarity with the control interface of automated cutting or pressure-packaging machines. Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems * **Hydraulics:** Leak repair, replacement of cylinder seals, maintenance of power units (pumps), and adjustment of proportional valves. * **Pneumatics:** Installation and repair of solenoid valves, maintenance units (FRL), hoses, and quick-connect fittings. * **Blueprint Reading:** Expert interpretation of symbolic hydraulic and pneumatic diagrams. Key Responsibilities * Perform preventive maintenance to avoid deviations in cutting precision, assembly, or pallet segregation. * Diagnose complex failures involving combined electrical errors and mechanical/hydraulic responses. * Optimize lubrication and cooling systems of cutting machines. * Maintain inventory of critical spare parts (valves, seals, PLC modules). Requirements and Soft Skills * **Education:** Technician in Electromechanics, Industrial Maintenance, Mechatronics, or related field. * **Fault Analysis:** Ability to identify the "root cause" (e.g., is it a hydraulic pressure issue or a PLC command problem?). * **Safety:** Strict adherence to **LOTO** (Lockout/Tagout) protocols. Employment Type: Full-time Salary: $16,000.00 - $18,000.00 per month Benefits: * Complimentary beverages * Company parking * Free uniforms * Grocery vouchers Work Location: On-site employment
