What a typical day looks like:
- Respond quickly to equipment failures; troubleshoot and restore production with minimum downtime.
- Lead and support continuous-improvement projects that increase OEE and reduce downtime.
- Diagnose and resolve abnormal issues across integrated systems — PLC, vision, robotics, motion control and smart devices.
- Carry out minor adjustments and tuning within validated lines (e.g., sensor replacement, control-logic tuning).
- Support integration changes driven by equipment obsolescence and by new smart equipment.
- Maintain and manage all production automation software in SVN (LabVIEW, Beckhoff TwinCAT, SAIA PLC) — applying and version-controlling existing software, not developing new software.
- Apply a structured root-cause approach to issues; when the root cause is a software bug, capture it clearly and provide structured feedback to the HQ PLC / control-design team.
- Troubleshoot and analyze problems to improve product quality and meet customer requirements
- Provide on-site production technical guidance and on-the-job training for production line staff.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:
- Advanced English.
- Clear communication in English and Spanish, including structured technical feedback to central engineering.
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical, Mechatronics, Automation or related).
- System-level troubleshooting across PLC, vision, robotics, motion control and smart devices.
- Working knowledge of PLC platforms (Beckhoff TwinCAT, SAIA) and LabVIEW for diagnosis, tuning and minor adjustments — not new development.
- Robotics and integrated automation systems.
- Industrial protocols and networking (e.g., EtherCAT, Modbus), HMI / SCADA and motion control.
- Awareness of firmware and device-compatibility challenges smart equipment.
What you’ll receive for the great work you provide:
