MAINTENANCE AUTOMATION ENGINEER

Job Overview

TE Connectivity's Manufacturing Engineering Teams are process leaders for stamping, molding or assembly related topics, ensuring the processes are running at optimum levels for quality and output. They are experts in mold tooling, die tooling, machining, and assembly techniques, possessing extensive knowledge of the associated manufacturing processes which may include the optimization and standardization of stamping / molding / assembly or other processes within the manufacturing environment. Manufacturing Engineering Teams enable the TE business unit plants to reach TE Operating Advantage (TEOA) requirements, roll out Centers of Excellence (COE), Best Demonstrated Practices (BDP’s) and advise plants on tool and machine duplications / corrections / improvements. They design and develop manufacturing process and automation platforms and apply them for the realization of new product developments as well as optimization of existing products already in production. The Teams also support Product Development in the selection and optimization of tools for piece part production and the selection of the most suitable manufacturing concepts relative to planned manufacturing quantities, quality requirements and manufacturing location. They act as interface between engineering and production to ensure manufacturability of new designs and smooth production ramp up as well as support the research & development teams to produce sample manufacturing equipment, product samples and prototypes.

Tasks and Responsibilities

•Reads, writes, understands, and performs modifications to existing PLC code preferably Beckhoff, and Siemens, and drive parameters will at times need to create new project from scratch.
•Maintains daily check and up-to-date backup files for all drive parameters of all terminal automated systems.
•Ensure periodic cleaning and wiring check of all drive inverters.
•Calibrates, adjusts, troubleshoots, installs, and maintains functionality of electronic devices such as transmitters, load cells systems and sensors, PLC modules, inverters and drives components, to ensure proper operation.
•Recommendations, and implement for renewal and updates to PLC equipment.
•Program, installs, repair and maintains existing tracking devices such as, GPS antennas and positioning controllers.
•Plan schedule and maintain the performance of PM/CM interventions and submit monitoring reports by ensuring accurate and updated information filed in IFS.
•Project management and follow-up with stockholders.
•Maintains a rotating 24-hour on-call status for emergencies as scheduled. May work a varying schedule and/or shift. May be required to work overtime.
•May serve in acting capacity.
•Ensure SOPs, draw in confluence and improve through process confirmation RCA and feedbacks.

What your background should look like:

•Engineer diploma, additional vocational/technical education – diploma in Automation and electronics. (Any additional training in PLC/ Drive inverters/ Electrical fields in any heavy industries is a plus).
• 3 to 5 year experience in an industrial machinery environment is a plus.
•Knowledge of PLCs, VISION systems, drive inverters,IoT, repair of electronic and electrical control systems.
•Knowledge in programming Siemens PLCs, i.e. S7-300, S7-400 (Step 7 and Tia portal) is a must.
•Knowledge of PLC-Inverters communication protocols and data exchange.
•Skill with computers and applicable software.
