About the Job

Requirements

A Bachelor's degree, preferably in Electrical Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, or a similar qualification.
At least 2 years of experience in industrial automation.
Knowledge of cam-controlled machines such as Bihler, Wafios, and Finzer.
Knowledge of high-speed automatic assembly lines and equipment such as Stiwa, PIA, Festo, Omron, B&R, and DA Automation.
Experience with Arburg or Engel machines for one- and two-component tools and molding infrastructure, such as Wittmann central drying systems, machine cooling, and tool cooling.
Experience in computer-aided design, programmable logic controllers, human-machine interface systems, and interpreting electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic circuit diagrams.
Willingness to work shifts.

Responsibilities

Develop and implement preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance strategies for PLC-controlled machines, robotics, and integrated production equipment.
Improve automation-system reliability by analyzing downtime, mean time between failures, and mean time to repair; identifying failure modes in electrical, control, and mechatronic systems; and implementing corrective and preventive actions.
Lead structured root-cause analysis using RCA, A3, and 5 Why methods for automation, control, and system-integration issues, and ensure recurring failures are sustainably eliminated.
Own the performance of PLC-controlled equipment, robotic systems, HMI, and industrial control systems.
Define and optimize maintenance plans and standards for electrical and mechatronic systems, including inspection routines, monitoring of critical components, and lifecycle management.
Improve automation solutions by optimizing control logic, system integration, and machine performance in collaboration with production and engineering teams.
Support and optimize PLC, safety-controller, and HMI systems to ensure robust operation, system stability, and alignment with production requirements.
Lead integration and optimization of robotic systems and automation components in existing production processes, ensuring compatibility, reliability, and performance.
Define and deploy predictive-maintenance approaches for automation systems using system data, diagnostics, and failure trends to reduce unplanned downtime.
Support commissioning and industrialization of automated equipment, ensuring system robustness, maintainability, and readiness for serial production.
Standardize maintenance processes, documentation, and control strategies, including technical specifications, system documentation, and troubleshooting guidelines.
Provide technical leadership to maintenance technicians and support complex troubleshooting of electrical, automation, and control-related issues without taking ownership of execution.
Collaborate with engineers, toolmakers, OEM partners, and other internal and external stakeholders on system optimization, upgrades, and technical issue resolution.

Desired Qualifications

Knowledge of Bihler cam-controlled machines is preferred.
Programming skills are advantageous.
Quick comprehension, independent working style, teamwork, strong communication skills, and continuous learning are desired capabilities.
