  We are seeking a results-driven, hands-on Automation Engineer to lead the installation, integration, and commissioning of automated packaging lines and factory automation systems across our manufacturing operations.
  
  In this role, you will be the technical lead responsible for transforming manual and semi-automated workflows into high-efficiency, automated production environments. You will oversee end-of-line packaging automation, coordinate turnkey machinery integration from equipment vendors, program and troubleshoot PLCs/HMIs, and drive plant-wide automation upgrades. This role suits a pragmatic engineer with strong technical problem-solving capabilities who thrives in a demanding, fast-paced manufacturing setting.
  
  Key Responsibilities
  1. Automated Packaging Installation & Commissioning:
  - Lead on-site installation, SAT (Site Acceptance Testing), dry/wet commissioning, and ramp-up of automated packing equipment (e.g., automated bagging/boxing, wrapping, carton erectors, pick-and-place systems, labeling, checkweighers, and palletizing systems).
  - Optimize packing line cycle times, throughput speed, indexing accuracy, and rejection mechanisms to minimize downtime and material wastage.
  
  2. Automation Project Management:
  - Plan and execute plant-wide automation projects from design review through to final handover.
  - Liaise directly with machinery suppliers and technology vendors—including preparing technical user requirement specifications (URS), reviewing electrical/mechanical schematics, and supervising vendor field service engineers.
  
  3. PLC, HMI & Control Systems Integration:
  - Program, modify, and troubleshoot industrial PLCs (Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, or Allen-Bradley), HMIs, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and servo motion controls.
  - Integrate sensors, pneumatic/hydraulic actuators, vision inspection systems, and safety interlocks across production machinery.
  
  4. Floor Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement:
  - Serve as the frontline technical expert for resolving complex automation, electrical, and control faults during active production.
  - Implement continuous improvements (Kaizen) to improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and eliminate bottlenecks.
  
  5. Standards, Documentation & Operator Training:
  - Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), preventive maintenance schedules, and calibration routines for all newly commissioned automation assets.
  - Train plant technicians and machine operators on system operation, fault recovery, and daily maintenance protocols.
