Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and program PLC logic for industrial automation systems.
  • Perform testing, simulation, debugging, and commissioning of PLC programs (both remotely and occasionally on-site if required).
  • Provide remote technical support, troubleshooting, and emergency on-call assistance to the US manufacturing facility (primarily during US Eastern/Time Zone working hours).
  • Modify and optimize existing PLC code to improve performance, safety, and reliability.
  • Integrate PLC systems with HMI/SCADA, drives, motion control, safety systems, and industrial networks.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, process engineers) in India and the US.
  • Prepare technical documentation including functional design specifications (FDS), I/O lists, logic diagrams, and user manuals.
  • Participate in FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing), including virtual support for US site activities.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards (IEC 61131-3, NFPA 79, UL, etc.) and client specifications.


Qualifications and Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.
  • 3–8 years of hands-on experience in PLC programming and industrial automation.
  • Strong expertise in at least two major PLC platforms:
  • Siemens

    (TIA Portal, Step 7, WinCC)
  • Allen-Bradley

    (Rockwell – Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000, FactoryTalk View)
  • Experience with other platforms (Schneider, Mitsubishi, Beckhoff, Omron) is a plus.
  • Proficiency in ladder logic (LD), structured text (ST), function block diagram (FBD), and sequential function chart (SFC).
  • Experience with industrial communication protocols (Profibus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, OPC UA).
  • Familiarity with HMI/SCADA development (FactoryTalk View, WinCC, Ignition, Wonderware).
  • Excellent English communication skills (both written and verbal) – must be comfortable in daily calls/meetings with US teams.
  • Flexible to work overlapping hours with US time zones (e.g., evening/night shifts in India as needed).
  • Knowledge of safety PLC programming and standards (SIL, PLe) is an advantage.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally to the US for project commissioning (if required).
