Mechatronics Engineer - Siemens PLC System Design

Mechatronics Engineer - Siemens PLC System Design

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications.
• Programming, troubleshooting, and modifying Siemens S7 PLC and TIA Portal for HMI.
• Conduct testing and debugging of hardware and software components.
• Perform system integration and verification activities.
• Create detailed documentation including design specifications, test plans, and reports.
• Collaborate with suppliers to ensure the availability of necessary components.
• Troubleshooting and debugging mechanical breakdowns and failures for pneumatics, hydraulics, and other mechanical functions of manufacturing equipment.
• Must be able to read and understand electrical drawings, pneumatic/hydraulic drawings, and mechanical sequence of operations and use them to design the electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic prints as required.
• Improve existing mechanical and electrical/controls systems.
• Understand safety concepts and safety requirements to ensure proper implementation during the design phase. (NFPA79, UL508)
• Provide accurate Bill of Materials as part of design, adhering to customer specification or documenting deviation acceptance from customer as required.
• Support manufacturing during the startup and integration phase.
• Generate machine lockout placards based on end-user specifications and best practice.

Requirements

• BS Degree in an engineering field such as Mechatronics, Electrical, or Mechanical is highly preferred. Will consider related experience in lieu of a degree.
• Must have experience with Siemens PLC/HMI and ability to program, troubleshoot, and modify existing programs.
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting background and able to identify issues with pneumatics, hydraulics, and other mechanical failures.
• 5+ years of relevant mechatronics engineering experience.
• Experienced in designing electrical, hardware, and mechanical systems (AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or Solidworks are acceptable CAD platforms).
• Prior experience leading small teams or projects is a plus.
• Able to work in a fast paced manufacturing environment.
