Systems Engineer (Manufacturing Automation, System Applications, Database) - #1125100

Systems Engineer (Manufacturing Automation, System Applications, Database)

Location: Tuas

·         Note : For this role, primary focus is to bring in someone with strong expertise in System Applications to complement the existing team, whose core strength lies in Controls & Controllers.

·         While the new hire should have some exposure to control systems (e.g., PLC, SCADA), this does not need to be their dominant area of experience.

About the Role

Join our dynamic team and play a pivotal role in shaping next-generation automation systems for advanced manufacturing. As a Systems Engineer, you will lead innovative projects that integrate cutting-edge technologies, optimize production processes, and drive operational excellence. This is an opportunity to work on complex engineering challenges, collaborate across functions, and make a tangible impact on productivity, quality, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Process and Equipment Engineers/Technicians to define automation design concepts, communication protocols, response plans, and redundancy strategies aligned with product specifications.

• Develop next-generation automation systems using C++/C# platforms and integrate cross-application functionalities for enhanced performance.

• Design, develop, test, and maintain applications leveraging C#, .NET Core, and .NET Framework.

• Lead automation projects from concept to manufacturing release, including design development, installation, configuration, and testing.

• Manage documentation and standards for automation hardware/software, ensuring version control and deployment integrity. Provide training to Operations teams on implemented systems.

• Coordinate cross-functional efforts with internal teams and external partners to ensure alignment, resolve issues, and communicate project status effectively.

• Troubleshoot and implement corrective actions for system-related issues on production lines.

• Drive innovation and optimization in automation to improve cost efficiency, productivity, quality, safety, and overall operational performance.

• Collaborate with IT teams on system integration, upgrades, and project implementation.
