Assistant Manager Maintenance - Controls Eng

Purpose of the Role

Executes engineering tasks with guidance; strong hands-on; solves defined problems; supports commissioning/troubleshooting

Knowledge Generic

Mandatory: 7–10 years of experience in project execution within the lithium-ion cell manufacturing industry or allied sectors such as Food & Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Packaging, and Paint industries. Proven hands-on experience working with Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Beckhoff PLCs and drives, along with KUKA and FANUC robotic systems, Keyence vision systems, laser weld systems with strong practical expertise in PID tuning and parameterization.

Engineering in (Electronics / Instrumentation)

Key Responsibility Areas

• PLC / HMI / SCADA Engineering ( Siemens. Mitsubishi, Beckhoff PLC and drives)
• Develops PLC logic (sequence, interlocks, alarms) for assigned machines/sections.
• Builds HMI screens using existing standards; supports alarm & trend configuration.
• Performs debugging with support; resolves routine logic bugs and I/O issues.
• Maintains backups and updates as-built documentation for assigned areas.
• Industrial Networks & Interfaces (OT Connectivity)
• Configures and troubleshoots common protocols: Profinet/CC link/ EIP/Modbus TCP, basic OPC tags.
• Performs basic network diagnostics: IP plan adherence, cable checks, switch port validation.
• Supports data mapping to SCADA/MES under guidance.
• Drives / Motion / Robotics Integration
• Configures VFD parameters, basic servo setup, and commissioning checklists.
• Troubleshoots common faults (overcurrent, encoder error, STO trips) with OEM support.
• Supports tuning, ramp settings, and basic motion sequences.
  
  

• Instrumentation & Field Layer (Sensors/Actuators)
• Validates installation, I/O mapping, and performs basic calibration checks (as per SOP).
• Troubleshoots typical issues: wiring, signal scaling, noisy signals, sensor alignment.
• Supports instrument selection through spec review.
• Safety Systems & Compliance
• Implements safety I/O and safety functions as per design (E-stops, door interlocks, light curtains).
• Supports safety validation and proof testing with checklists.
• Follows LOTO and safe commissioning practices.
• Commissioning, FAT/SAT & Ramp-Up
• Executes FAT/SAT test cases, records results, supports punch list closure.
• Supports vendor during commissioning; resolves commissioning issues quickly.
• Provides shift support during trials and early ramp-up.
• Troubleshooting & Reliability (Chronic Issues)
• Identifies fault source (I/O, sequence, sensor, drive) and restores operation.
• Uses logs/alarms to isolate issues; escalates complex problems appropriately.
• Documents learning, updates troubleshooting guides.
