  Position Summary
  The Instrumentation Engineer is responsible for ensuring the reliability, accuracy, and integrity of all instrumentation, control systems, and automation equipment used across company's rubber thread production facilities. The role supports continuous operations by maintaining, troubleshooting, calibrating, and improving sensors, analyzers, PLC/SCADA systems, and process-monitoring devices throughout the compounding, extrusion, , drying, curing, effluent-treatment, water-treatment, and utilities areas.
  
  The ideal candidate has experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably within latex, rubber, polymer, or chemical processing industries, and possesses strong analytical, diagnostic, and problem-solving capabilities.
  
  Key Responsibilities
  1. Instrumentation Maintenance & Troubleshooting
  - Perform routine inspection, calibration, tuning, and preventive maintenance of all instrumentation devices, including:
  - Level, flow, pressure, temperature, and pH sensors
  - Load cells, viscosity meters, thermocouples, RTDs
  - Dosing-pump controllers, flow meters, and pressure transmitters
  - Process analyzers in compounding, acid baths, water-bath monitoring, drying ovens, and curing ovens
  - Diagnose failures and ensure timely corrective actions to minimize downtime in production lines.
  
  2. Control Systems & Automation
  - Knowledgeable in handling and programming Siemens TIA Portal
  - Support PLC, HMI, and SCADA system troubleshooting, modifications, and improvements (Siemens, Omron, Allen-Bradley or equivalent).
  - Assist in programming logic corrections, alarm settings, and process-parameter tuning for extrusion control, oven temperature control, talcum-powdering systems, curing profiles, and festooning equipment.
  - Ensure proper integration of sensors and control elements with mechanical and electrical systems.
  
  3. Process Stability & Quality Assurance
  - Monitor key production parameters
  - Ensure accuracy of instrumentation data used by Chemical Lab and Physical Lab for QC testing and product-spec verification.
  - Proactively identify instrumentation-related issues that could impact thread quality (e.g., diameter variations, coagulation inconsistencies, humidity defects, ribboning temperature deviations).
  
  4. Project Implementation & Continuous Improvement
  - Execute instrumentation upgrades, line expansions, and new equipment commissioning.
  - Recommend improvements for sensor selection, data-logging systems, predictive-maintenance tools, and automation enhancements.
  - Work closely with mechanical, electrical, chemical, and production teams on reduction of breakdowns and optimization of energy usage.
  
  5. Documentation & Compliance
  - Maintain accurate calibration records, loop drawings, wiring diagrams, and PM schedules.
  - Prepare technical reports, root-cause analyses, and failure-mode documentation.
  - Ensure compliance with internal safety procedures, OEM specifications, and industry standards.
