Automation Engineer

Your tasks

• Analyze customer requirements, functional needs, and asset criticality to define monitoring strategies for rotating equipment (e.g., turbines, generators, pumps).
• Design condition monitoring solutions, including sensor concepts, system architectures, and data acquisition strategies.
• Select and specify appropriate sensor technologies (e.g., vibration, temperature, speed, proximity, acoustic, pressure) based on application requirements.
• Define sensor placement, mounting, and installation concepts to ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
• Integrate monitoring systems into automation environments, including PLC, SCADA, and digital platforms (e.g., edge devices, cloud systems).
• Configure data acquisition systems and ensure reliable signal processing, data quality, and system interoperability.
• Analyze sensor data to assess machine condition, detect anomalies, and identify failure modes using advanced signal processing methods (e.g., vibration and frequency analysis).
• Develop and refine monitoring approaches, including algorithms, dashboards, and KPIs for predictive maintenance.
• Validate monitoring systems through testing and commissioning activities, ensuring sensor performance and data reliability under operational conditions.
• Support on-site installation, calibration, and commissioning of monitoring systems, including troubleshooting and optimization.
• Prepare technical documentation, monitoring concepts, and condition assessment reports, providing actionable insights to stakeholders.
• Contribute to standardization, continuous improvement, and the development of advanced diagnostic and digital solutions.
