Industrial Electronics Repair Engineer

Location:Dubai, UAE

Experience:2–7 years in industrial electronics repair

You will bring faulty VFDs, servo drives, HMIs, PLCs and power supplies back to working order by finding the failed component and replacing it, rather than swapping whole boards.

Key responsibilities

- Diagnose and repair VFDs / AC and DC drives, servo drives and amplifiers, HMIs and touch panels, PLC modules, soft starters, SMPS and UPS at component level.
- Trace faults on PCBs using schematics, circuit tracing and comparison with known-positive boards.
- Test and replace power components: IGBT and thyristor modules, MOSFETs, rectifiers, gate drivers, DC-link capacitors, optocouplers.
- Repair control boards, keypads, displays and backlights; reflow and replace SMD components, including fine-pitch ICs.
- Load-test every repaired unit on the test bench (motor/load test) before it is returned to the customer.
- Back up and restore drive parameters and PLC/HMI programs where needed.
- Record each job: fault found, parts replaced, test results and time spent; prepare short repair reports and quotations input.
- Advise customers on repair vs. replace and preventive maintenance; attend site for diagnosis or commissioning when required.
- Keep spare-part stock and test equipment in order, and follow ESD and electrical safety procedures.

Requirements

- Diploma or Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation or Mechatronics Engineering.




- Minimum 2 years of hands-on component-level (chip-level) repair of industrial electronics. Module-replacement or programming-only experience does not qualify.
- Proven repair experience on at least two of: VFDs, servo drives, HMIs, PLCs.
- Confident with oscilloscope, digital multimeter, LCR meter, IGBT/component tester, bench power supply and SMD rework station.
- Able to read schematics and datasheets and trace circuits on undocumented boards.
- Good written and spoken English for reports and customer contact.

Brands (experience with several is expected)

Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Danfoss, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi, Delta, Fuji, Allen-Bradley, Omron, Fanuc

Preferred Qualifications

- Diploma / Bachelor's Degree in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation or Mechatronics Engineering.
- Certification in Industrial Electronics Repair, Power Electronics or Industrial Automation.
- Siemens, ABB, Schneider, Danfoss, Yaskawa or Mitsubishi drive repair training/certification.
- Certified training in PLC and HMI hardware troubleshooting.
- PCB-level troubleshooting and SMD soldering/rework certification.
- Knowledge of IGBT, MOSFET, Thyristor and SMPS repair.
- ESD Awareness and Electrical Safety certification.
- Experience in industrial electronics repair workshops or authorised service centres.
- Additional training in AC/DC drives, servo systems and industrial control electronics.
