• Perform hands-on electrical wiring, control-panel work, machine assembly and testing.
• Install, test and commission automation equipment at customer sites.
• Diagnose and resolve electrical, PLC, HMI and machinery faults.
• Conduct FAT, SAT and acceptance testing.
• Prepare technical documentation, service reports and user manuals.
• Support customer-site service work locally and occasional overseas assignments.

Requirements:

• Diploma or Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience in industrial machinery, equipment automation or machine-control systems.
• Hands-on experience in electrical/control-panel wiring, installation, testing and troubleshooting.
• Practical PLC and HMI programming experience, ideally with Mitsubishi and/or Panasonic systems.
• Able to read and interpret electrical drawings and schematics independently.
• Familiar with AutoCAD, EPLAN, SolidWorks or similar drawing software.
• Comfortable working at customer sites and taking ownership during installation and commissioning.
• Willing to support occasional overtime, weekend work and overseas assignments when project needs require.
