The CS Automation Engineer will be responsible for programming and commissioning retrofits of already installed machines, as well as troubleshooting and resolving technical issues at customer sites.

  • Act as the technical liaison with customers to address programming-related requests.
  • Participate in the department's 24 / 7 support rotation.
  • Ensure compliance with company quality procedures, safety standards, and continuous improvement practices.

Requirements

  • Education : Degree in Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering (specializing in electronics), or equivalent technical qualification (e.g., Higher Vocational Training in Electronics).
  • Experience : Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in automation engineering roles, with strong exposure to motion control systems and turnkey projects . Experience in packaging machinery is highly preferred.
  • Technical Skills :
  • Allen Bradley / Rockwell expertise (required).
  • Siemens platform knowledge (a strong plus).
  • PLC programming (RS Logix 5000, TIA Portal, Simotion Scout, B&R Studio).
  • HMI / SCADA tools (FactoryTalk, Intouch, Indusoft, Zenon).
  • Strong troubleshooting and commissioning skills.
  • Languages : English required; Spanish is a plus but not mandatory.
  • Mobility : Willingness to travel occasionally (approx. 20%).
  • Training : Initial 1-2 months training in Granollers, Spain, with additional remote support.

    • Personal Profile

  • Autonomous, structured, and proactive.
  • Strong interpersonal and client-facing skills.
  • Team-oriented with the ability to work independently.
  • Global project vision and problem-solving mindset.
  • Represents company values professionally with clients.

    • This is a unique opportunity to grow your career, gain visibility, and play a key role in building a new U.S. subsidiary for a globally recognized company.

    In this role, we are looking for PLC programmers who have strong troubleshooting experience rather than building projects from scratch .

    Most of the time, your responsibilities will involve :

  • Diagnosing issues in existing machines.
  • Reading and understanding PLC programs already in place.
  • Identifying errors in code, sensors, drives, or wiring.
  • Making quick corrections to bring equipment back online.
  • Providing technical support in the field.

    • In short : we need "automation firefighters" 🔧🔥 - engineers who can solve problems fast and keep systems running smoothly, more than system architects starting from zero.
