Key Responsibilities:

- Lead the end-to-end development of PLC software: requirement analysis, architecture, logic design, coding, simulation, testing, and commissioning support.
- Develop and review control logic using languages (Ladder Diagram, Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, SFC) on platforms such as Siemens, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Schneider, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff, or CODESYS.
- Design and integrate HMI/SCADA applications.
- Define and implement industrial communication interfaces: Profinet, Profibus, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, IO-Link, CAN.
- Prepare and review engineering documentation: functional design specifications (FDS), software design documents, I/O lists, test protocols (FAT/SAT), and commissioning reports.
- Lead FAT/SAT activities, on-site commissioning, and troubleshooting; provide escalation-level support for field issues.
- Ensure compliance with functional safety standards and relevant industry regulations.
- Mentor and technically guide a team of PLC/automation engineers; conduct code reviews, enforce coding standards, and drive reusable software libraries.
- Estimate effort, plan software work packages, track progress, and report to all stakeholders.
- Interface with electrical,



mechanical, and instrumentation teams to align control software with the overall system design.

Required Skills & Competencies:

- Strong hands-on expertise in PLC programming.
- Proficiency in HMI/SCADA development and integration.
- Solid understanding of industrial networks and fieldbus protocols (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA).
- Experience with servo/motion control, VFDs, drives, robotics interfacing, and safety PLCs.
- Knowledge of electrical schematics, P&IDs;, I/O sizing, and panel design fundamentals.
- Proven ability to lead and mentor a small-to-mid-sized engineering team.
- Solid problem-solving and root-cause analysis skills, especially under commissioning/field pressure.
- Effective communication with customers, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Ownership mindset with strong planning, estimation, and delivery discipline.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree (B.E./B.Tech) in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline
- 8–12 years of experience in industrial automation/control systems
