  • Knowledge of programming environments and technical documentation.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
  • Effective communicator who can clearly articulate technical issues and solutions.
  • Ability to adapt to new technologies and learning new systems quickly.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field.
  • Minimum of 3-5 years' experience in manufacturing maintenance or automation.
  • Experience working with PLC systems, HMI panels, servo drives, and related control equipment.
