Key Responsibilities

Localization & Product Engineering

• Localization activities for electrical and electronic components, including alternative component evaluation, supplier coordination, technical validation, and documentation updates.
• Support product engineering changes through feasibility reviews, design verification, prototype testing, and release of engineering change documentation.
• Collaborate with Mechanical, Manufacturing, Quality, and SCM teams to ensure localized parts meet performance, safety, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
• Review electrical schematics, wiring layouts, control panels, PCB-related requirements, and interface specifications to support new product development and product improvement.
• Translate machine functions and customer requirements into practical electronics, software, and automation modules suitable for production implementation.

Troubleshooting & Technical Support

• Provide technical support for machine issues related to electronics, PLC, HMI, sensors, actuators, drives, control panels, and communication interfaces.
• Perform structured troubleshooting using root-cause analysis, electrical measurements, software diagnostics, test results, and machine behavior observations.
• Support Manufacturing, Service, and Quality teams during prototype builds, production trials, machine commissioning, and field issue investigations.
• Prepare clear technical reports, corrective action summaries, test records, and work instructions to support issue resolution and knowledge sharing.

Continuous Improvement

• Identify improvement opportunities in machine reliability, control performance, wiring design, component selection, assembly efficiency, and serviceability.
• Drive engineering improvements through design optimization, standardization, failure analysis, lessons learned, and validation testing.
• Support cost-down and localization initiatives while maintaining technical integrity, machine safety, and long-term product reliability.
• Work with cross-functional teams to implement corrective and preventive actions based on production feedback, service data, and quality findings.

Automation Control Systems

• Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, embedded software, and machine control logic for industrial packaging machinery.
• Support integration of sensors, motors, actuators, drives, safety devices, and industrial communication protocols into complete machine control systems.
• Define control concepts, operating sequences, I/O requirements, alarm logic, diagnostic functions, and machine interface behavior.
• Conduct functional testing, software validation, machine trials, and technical reviews to ensure stable and reliable automation performance.

Expected Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Automation Engineering, Embedded Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 2–3 years of practical experience in machine development, automation engineering, embedded systems, or industrial equipment design.
• Experience developing machine control systems, automation systems, or embedded control architectures from concept to implementation.
• Ability to translate system requirements into clear, practical, and technically sound functional designs.
• Experience in troubleshooting complex electromechanical systems involving PLCs, embedded controllers, motion systems, sensors, and industrial networks.
• Familiarity with engineering change management (ECN/ECR), product validation, and design-for-manufacturing practices.

Technical & Personal Skills

• Strong programming skills in C.
• Experience with MPLAB X IDE and Microchip microcontrollers.
• Experience with Siemens TIA Portal.
• Experience with B&R Automation Studio.
• Strong understanding of PLC, HMI, embedded systems, and machine control architectures.
• Understanding of industrial communication protocols and system integration.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications.
• Demonstrate an innovative, solution-oriented approach to technical challenges.
• Strong communication and technical documentation skills.
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional and international teams.
• Self-driven, technically curious, and committed to high-quality machine development.
