Electrical Engineer -SPM & Automation

Key Roles and Responsibilities

1. Electrical Design & Documentation

• Design and develop electrical circuits, wiring diagrams, and control panel layouts using software such as EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, or SolidWorks Electrical.
• Select appropriate components such as sensors, actuators, relays, contactors, drives (VFDs, servos), and PLCs based on machine requirements.
• Prepare Bill of Materials (BOM) and ensure availability of components in coordination with the procurement team.
• Ensure compliance with electrical and safety standards (IEC, CE, UL, ISO, etc.)

2. Control System Development

• Integration of PLC / HMI / SCADA programs for machine automation.
• Work with controllers from Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, Omron, Schneider, etc.
• Configure and integrate communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, Profinet, etc.).
• Design safety circuits (emergency stops, interlocks, safety relays, light curtains, etc.).

3. Machine Assembly, Testing & Commissioning

• Supervise wiring, panel assembly, and electrical installation of machines on the shop floor.
• Hands on experience in panel wiring, machine/field wiring, panel assembly, and electrical installation of machines on the shop floor.
• Conduct testing and debugging of control systems, ensuring correct operation of sensors, actuators, and drives.
• Support factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT).
• Provide on-site commissioning and troubleshooting support at customer locations (domestic/international).

4. Project Coordination

• Collaborate with mechanical and software design teams to ensure proper integration of electrical systems.
• Work closely with the project management team to ensure timely delivery within budget.
• Maintain technical documentation, change logs, and reports throughout the project lifecycle.

5. Maintenance & Support

• Provide technical support to service and maintenance teams for installed machines.
• Analyze electrical issues and propose design improvements for reliability and efficiency.
• Update documentation for design changes and modifications.

6. Continuous Improvement

• Research and evaluate new technologies to enhance machine performance and safety.
• Contribute to standardization of electrical designs and control systems for future SPM projects.

Key Skills Required

• Strong knowledge of (Hands on experience) industrial automation and electrical design principles.
• Experience with PLC/HMI programming (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Omron etc.). will be added advantage
• Hands on experience in electrical schematics, panel wiring, sensors, and actuators.
• Familiarity with motion control systems (servo motors, stepper systems).
• Ability to troubleshoot electrical, control issues efficiently and to work under pressure.
• Good understanding of safety systems and industrial standards.
• Provide extended support based on project schedules and customer requirements, including overtime, weekend work, or travel as needed to ensure timely project completion, installation, and customer satisfaction.
