2. Electrical Design and Compliance Control:

• Conduct the design of electrical schematic diagrams, wiring diagrams, and layout diagrams. Use tools such as AutoCAD Electrical/EPLAN to complete drawing and version management.
• Responsible for the selection of electrical components (PLC, sensors, inverters, contactors, etc.), compilation of BOM lists, and cost control. Ensure the selection meets safety standards (such as UL, CE) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) requirements.
• Coordinate with relevant departments to complete the compliance review of electrical design, ensuring the design scheme meets the high-voltage safety, fire safety, and environmental protection-related regulations for battery pack production.

3. PLC/HMI Programming and System Debugging:

• Responsible for the development, debugging, and optimization of PLC programs (preferably Siemens S7 series, Rockwell ControlLogix, Mitsubishi Q series, etc.), realizing automated control logic of production lines (such as process linkage, abnormal alarm, data collection).
• Complete the design of HMI (WinCC, Intouch, FactoryTalk View, etc.) interfaces, variable association, and script writing to ensure convenient operation and clear data visualization.
• Conduct communication debugging between PLC and HMI, SCADA systems, industrial robots, and testing equipment, proficient in industrial communication protocols such as Profinet, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP.

4. Equipment Verification and On-site Implementation:

• Lead PAT (Plant Acceptance Test) and FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) of equipment, formulate test plans, record test data, and troubleshoot and solve technical problems during the test process.
• Participate in on-site installation guidance and wiring verification of automation equipment, coordinate on-site debugging work, including single-machine debugging, online debugging, and load testing, to ensure equipment meets the designed production capacity and quality requirements.
• Compile delivery documents such as equipment operation manuals, maintenance manuals, and debugging reports, and complete the transfer of technical knowledge to the production and operation and maintenance teams.

5. Operation and Maintenance and Continuous Optimization of Automation Systems:

• Provide technical support for the daily operation and maintenance of automated production lines, quickly respond to and solve electrical faults, program abnormalities, and other problems during production, reducing equipment downtime.
• Continuously monitor the operating data of automation systems (such as equipment failure rate, operating efficiency), analyze bottleneck links, and improve system stability and efficiency through program optimization, control logic adjustment, component upgrading, etc.
• Participate in production line automation upgrading and digital transformation projects (such as the introduction of AI visual inspection, MES system data docking), output technical schemes, and promote their implementation.

6. Cross-departmental Collaboration and Supplier Management:

• Collaborate closely with production, quality, industrial engineering (IE), equipment maintenance, and other departments to clarify automation needs, synchronize project progress, and solve cross-departmental technical collaboration issues.
• Communicate with automation equipment suppliers and component suppliers, conduct technical communication, progress control, and quality acceptance to ensure timely technical support and delivery from the supply chain.
