Roles & Responsibilities
Job Overview
We are looking for a hands-on Junior Mechatronics Engineer to join our team. This role is best suited for fresh graduates or candidates with up to 1–2 years of experience who have basic PLC knowledge and strong troubleshooting skills.
You will be involved from the early stages of project ideation and documentation, and subsequently support the testing, commissioning, and validation of automation systems. This role offers end-to-end exposure to the lifecycle of automation projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Participate in project ideation, concept development, and technical discussions
- Assist in preparing technical documentation, specifications, and workflows
- Support testing and validation of automation systems and machinery
- Assist in PLC testing, debugging, and basic modifications (not full-scale programming)
- Troubleshoot electrical, control, and system-level issues during testing and commissioning
- Work closely with PLC programmers to identify issues and help resolve system blockers
- Assist in system integration (sensors, actuators, HMIs, and control panels)
- Participate in on-site commissioning, installation, and troubleshooting
- Document test results, issues, and validation reports
- Ensure systems meet functional and safety requirements
Requirements
- Diploma or Degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Automation, or related field
- Fresh graduates are welcome; up to 1–2 years of relevant experience is a plus
- Basic understanding of PLC logic and automation systems
- Strong troubleshooting mindset and willingness to work hands-on
- Ability to read basic electrical schematics
- Good communication skills to support documentation and cross-team collaboration
- Willingness to travel for site work and commissioning (~20% travel required)
Preferred Qualifications
- Internship or project experience involving PLC, automation, or system testing
- Exposure to HMI/SCADA systems is an advantage
- Basic programming knowledge is a plus (to understand system logic and feasibility)
Key Skills
- Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis
- System Testing & Validation
- Basic PLC Understanding
- Technical Documentation
- Team Collaboration
Additional Notes
- This role combines early-stage project involvement with hands-on testing and validation work
- Focus is on troubleshooting, system understanding, and support rather than full PLC programming
- Job scope may evolve based on project requirements and company needs
What We Offer
- Exposure to full project lifecycle (from ideation to commissioning)
- Structured training and mentorship for fresh graduates
- Hands-on experience with real-world automation systems
- Opportunity to grow into PLC programming or system engineering roles
- Supportive and collaborative work environment
