Design Engineer - PLC Programming

Key Responsibilities

Collect and analyze project inputs and specifications from crossfunctional teams, and define the machine automation architecture based on functional, process, and safety requirements.

• Design and develop PLC programs and HMI interfaces using Rockwell RSLogix 5000, Studio 5000, and FactoryTalk View in alignment with project and industry standards.
• Develop automation projects using Rockwell Automation Studio 5000 Application Code Manager (ACM) for standardized, modular, and scalable engineering.
• Select appropriate PLC controllers, VFDs, servo drives, and I/O modules based on system capacity, performance needs, and architecture design.
• Configure and parameterize VFDs and servo drives, ensuring correct motion profiles, safety functions, and communication setup.
• Create electrical schematics, panel layouts, and cable routing designs using SEE Electrical software as per industrial and customer standards.
• Generate part lists, cable lists, and BOM documentation from SEE Electrical outputs for procurement and manufacturing.
• Select electrical components such as breakers, sensors, drives, motors, and safety devices ensuring compliance with required Performance Level (PL) and relevant safety standard ISO 13849.
