Automation Engineer

Working hour: Mon to Fri - 8.30am to 5.30pm
Location:Tampines (Opposite IKEA)

Turn automation expertise into better manufacturing performance.

Join our engineering team and work with robotics, control systems and automated production equipment. You will help implement automation solutions, solve equipment challenges and improve manufacturing productivity, with involvement from installation and validation through to new product launches and ongoing production.

Key Responsibilities

• Implement automation solutions: Coordinate the installation, integration and commissioning of automated equipment, robotics, control systems and associated software.

• Keep production running reliably: Ensure production machines and automation systems operate effectively to support consistent output and product quality.

• Validate system performance: Test equipment and systems for functionality, reliability and performance, identifying and resolving hardware and software issues.

• Troubleshoot equipment challenges: Conduct on-site fault diagnosis and root cause analysis, working with suppliers and remote support teams when required.

• Improve manufacturing productivity: Identify bottlenecks and optimise equipment performance to achieve Units Per Hour (UPH), cycle time and quality targets.

• Support new product launches: Provide automation support during New Product Introduction (NPI), ensuring equipment readiness and a smooth production ramp-up.

• Maintain equipment performance: Carry out preventive maintenance, resolve recurring faults and provide ongoing technical support to minimise downtime.

• Deliver engineering improvements: Work with production, quality, engineering and project management teams to define requirements, implement solutions and drive continuous improvement.

• Maintain clear technical documentation: Develop and update system design records, test plans, troubleshooting guides and standard operating procedures (SOPs).

What We're Looking For

• A Diploma or Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics Engineering or a related engineering discipline.

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in manufacturing, project engineering or process engineering.

• Practical experience in engineering project planning, coordination, execution and progress monitoring.

• Experience in process development, optimisation, troubleshooting and continuous improvement to enhance manufacturing efficiency and product quality.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a hands-on approach to diagnosing equipment and system issues.

• The ability to work independently, manage priorities and deliver tasks with minimal supervision.

• Good project management, technical documentation and communication skills.

• The ability to collaborate effectively with customers, headquarters, factory teams, suppliers and internal stakeholders.

• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to quality, equipment reliability and operational efficiency.

• Relevant certifications in industrial automation, control systems or project management would be an advantage.

Why Join This Role

Gain practical exposure across automation implementation, equipment troubleshooting, process optimisation and NPI. Work with cross-functional teams and see the direct impact of your engineering solutions on production reliability, efficiency and quality.
