The Role - What You Will Do:
1. System Design & Development: Create and optimize automated systems, including Robotics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and SCADA systems for manufacturing and testing.
2. Process Optimisation: Lead 'cradle to grave' projects (from bid to commissioning) to improve safety, cycle time, and cost through automation.
3. Process Automation: Develop workflows and tooling to automate routine operational tasks, ensuring they are consistent, repeatable, and scalable.
4. Programming & Controls: Develop and optimise programs for PLCs (Siemens S7, Allen Bradley), industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB, Kuka), and HMI/SCADA systems.
5. Infrastructure Management: Provision and optimize infrastructure, often utilizing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform and Ansible.
6. Testing & Validation: Lead the commissioning of robotic cells and assembly systems; perform First Article Inspection (FAI) and ensure compliance with safety standards i.e. ISO 9001 or AS9100.
7. Observability & Support: Maintain platform observability and respond to incidents through Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to improve service efficiency.
8. System Integration: Designing and implementing interfaces between MES (e.g., Werum PAS-X, Rockwell Pharmasuite), ERP systems (like SAP S/4HANA), and shop-floor automation like PLC/SCADA systems.
