We are looking for a proactive, customer-focused Field Automation & Instrumentation Solutions Engineer. In this role, you will be the direct interface between advanced industrial technologies and customer manufacturing facilities. You will travel to diverse client plants to understand root-cause operational pain points, troubleshoot field instrumentation and PLC/IIoT networks, commission systems, and consultatively recommend high-impact plant modernization upgrades (such as IO-Link architectures, IoT Edge gateways, and smart sensors).

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

A. On-Site Technical Diagnostics & Commissioning

• Travel to customer plant sites for troubleshooting, wiring inspection, calibration, and commissioning of automation and field instrumentation.
• Perform hands-on diagnostics on PLC Digital/Analog I/O (PNP/NPN sourcing & sinking), 4–20 mA current loops, and 2-wire / 4-wire transmitters.
• Configure and verify serial and industrial Ethernet networks including Modbus RTU (RS485 daisy-chaining & termination) and Modbus TCP/IP.
• Deploy and troubleshoot IO-Link master systems, digital smart sensors, and IoT Edge Gateways
• communicating via MQTT / REST API.
• Diagnose and eliminate signal anomalies, including VFD electrical noise interference, cable shield grounding loops, and loose terminations.

B. Client Relationship & Consultative Solutioning

• Meet plant managers, maintenance heads, and process engineers on-site; actively uncover machine bottlenecks and recurring breakdown patterns.
• Investigate beyond superficial symptoms to identify true root causes (e.g., process variations, piping vibration, or incorrect sensor specifications).
• Consultatively propose plant modernization opportunities, sensor upgrades, and Bill of Materials (BOM) retrofits that improve uptime and throughput.
• Translate complex technical issues into plain, business-oriented value explanations for non-technical stakeholders and commercial decision-makers.
• Maintain composure, leadership, and structured problem isolation during emergency plant breakdown calls.

3. CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

Education & Experience

• Degree: Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Instrumentation, Electronics & Communication, Electrical & Electronics, or Automation Engineering.
• Experience: 2 to 6 years of hands-on experience in field instrumentation, PLC automation commissioning, or industrial site services.

Travel & Mindset Requirements

• Travel Readiness: Willingness and enthusiasm to travel 60% to 75% of the time across regional manufacturing clusters and customer sites.
• Ownership & Resilience: High self-reliance when troubleshooting alone at remote facilities; authentic desire tolearn from field experiences.
• Customer Empathy: Patient, solution-oriented approach with strong verbal communication and interpersonal problem-solving ability.
