Role Summary

Kado Soft Close Systems Pvt. Ltd. is seeking a skilled Automation Engineer to develop, operate, improve and maintain automated assembly machines for our MS and stainless-steel soft-close hinge product range. The role covers PLC-controlled lines with vibratory bowl feeders, pneumatic systems, sensors, servo mechanisms, component feeding, inspection and automatic rejection systems.

Key Responsibilities

 Develop, improve and stabilize automatic hinge-assembly processes.

 Program, operate, back up and troubleshoot PLC and HMI systems.

 Integrate pneumatic cylinders, servo motors, VFDs, sensors and actuators.

 Set up vibratory bowl feeders and reliable component-orientation mechanisms.

 Automate the assembly of hinge cups, arms, plates, pins, springs and related parts.

 Diagnose electrical, mechanical, pneumatic and control-system faults using root-cause analysis.

 Reduce machine breakdowns and improve production uptime through preventive and corrective action.  Optimize cycle time, production output, repeatability and assembly accuracy.

 Develop poka-yoke systems to prevent missing, reversed or incorrect components.

 Integrate machine-vision, automatic inspection and defective-part rejection systems.

 Conduct machine trials, validation, commissioning and production handover.

 Prepare electrical drawings, pneumatic diagrams, PLC backups, manuals and maintenance records.

 Coordinate with production, quality, maintenance and tool-room teams.

 Train machine operators and maintenance technicians.

 Ensure compliance with machine-safety and electrical-safety requirements.

 Support new automation and Special Purpose Machine (SPM) projects.

Required Qualifications & Technical Knowledge

 Diploma or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, Mechanical or Automation Engineering.





 Practical knowledge of industrial automation and high-speed assembly machinery.

 Hands-on experience with PLC/HMI platforms such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Delta or equivalent.

 Working knowledge of servo drives, VFDs, sensors, relays, pneumatics and electrical control panels.

 Ability to read and prepare electrical drawings, pneumatic circuits and machine layouts.

 Robust troubleshooting, analytical and root-cause-analysis skills

Preferred Experience

 3–5 years of experience in industrial automation, SPMs or automatic assembly lines.

 Experience in furniture hardware, cabinet hinges, automotive components, sheet-metal products or precision-component assembly.

 Experience with vibratory bowl feeders, pick-and-place units, indexing mechanisms and machinevision systems.

 Knowledge of preventive maintenance, line balancing, cycle-time improvement and rejection reduction.  Previous involvement in machine installation, validation and commissioning.

Key Performance Indicators

 Machine uptime improvement and breakdown reduction.

 Production output and cycle-time achievement.

 Reduction in assembly rejection and defect rates.

 Preventive-maintenance compliance and timely closure of faults.

 Successful commissioning and production handover of automation projects.

 Reduction in manual operations and labour dependency.

 Availability of current programs, backups and technical documentation
