Job Purpose (Significance Of The Role & Objectives)
Responsible for designing and developing automated production systems from concept to implementation that improve efficiency, quality, and scalability of manufacturing operations. This role bridges mechanical, electrical, and control disciplines to design how machines physically and logically operate together.
Key Responsibilities And Deliverables
- Develop automation concepts for Battery assembly lines, Special process, testing, and material handling.
- Evaluate manual processes and propose automation solutions (Material selections, robots, conveyors, jigs, etc.)
- Prepare process flow diagrams, layout, and cycle time calculations.
- Define specifications for PLCs, sensors, actuators, robots, and vision systems
- Select appropriate automation components (drives, pneumatics, safety systems)
- Work with mechanical and electrical design teams to ensure systems integrate seamlessly
- Design control panels, wiring layouts, and interface points with existing equipment
- Coordinate with machine builders, automation vendors, and MES/IT teams.
- Review and approve machine designs, FAT (Factory Acceptance Test), and SAT (Site Acceptance Test)
- Analyze cycle times, bottlenecks, and implement continuous improvement
- Support line balancing and ergonomic design
- Prepare design documentation (BOMs, schematics, SOPs, safety validation)
- Ensure designs meet safety and industrial standards (ISO 13849, IEC 60204, etc.).
Desired Qualifications: Required Qualification, Knowledge, and Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics / Electrical / Mechanical / Automation Engineering (Master's preferred).
