About Electrical Software EngineerThe Electrical Software Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and commissioning the control systems that power automated industrial machinery. This role involves writing PLC and HMI software, designing electrical schematics, and ensuring that integrated systems—such as conveyors, spray applicators, and ventilation units—operate with precision, safety, and efficiency.About the RoleThis role involves writing PLC and HMI software, designing electrical schematics, and ensuring that integrated systems—such as conveyors, spray applicators, and ventilation units—operate with precision, safety, and efficiency.ResponsibilitiesControl System Design:Develop and program Logic Controller (PLC) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) software for automated spray lines and flash-off rooms. Electrical Schematics:Create detailed electrical wiring diagrams, control panel layouts, and P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) using software like AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN. System Integration:Integrate third-party hardware, including VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), industrial sensors (vibration, temperature, pressure), and robotic applicators into a unified control architecture. Commissioning & Testing:Perform on-site testing and fine-tuning of software logic during the installation phase to ensure equipment meets client cycle-time and quality specifications. Safety Compliance:Ensure all designs comply with international and local electrical safety standards (such as IEC or NEMA) and incorporate Fail-Safe/Emergency Stop protocols. Technical Documentation:Draft comprehensive user manuals, functional design specifications (FDS), and troubleshooting guides for the end-user. Troubleshooting:Provide remote or on-site diagnostic support for electrical or software failures in existing industrial installations.QualificationsEducation:Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Computer Engineering.Required SkillsSoftware Proficiency:Hands-on experience with PLC programming (e.g., Siemens TIA Portal, Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, or Mitsubishi GX Works). Experience in SCADA system development for factory-wide monitoring. Hardware Knowledge:Strong understanding of industrial components such as motor starters, solenoid valves, and various sensor types (inductive, ultrasonic, etc.). Fieldbus Protocols:Familiarity with industrial communication protocols like Profinet, Modbus TCP/IP, or EtherNet/IP. Industry Experience:Prior experience in industrial coating, HVAC control, or heavy machinery automation is highly preferred. Soft Skills:Strong analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with mechanical teams and project managers.
