Reviews P&IDs, control and electrical drawings, loop diagrams, cause-and-effect matrices, specifications, vendor documents, calibration records, and maintenance records for automation impact. Coordinates controlled implementation windows and confirms that approved changes, trained personnel, calibrated instruments, backups, and rollback plans are available before execution.

  • Bachelors Degree (BA/BS) Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation/Controls Engineering, or a closely related engineering field - Required
  • Master Degree (MS/MA) Electronics, Mechatronics, Electrical, Automation/Controls Engineering, or a related technical field - Preferred

  • 5 years or more in Experience in sterile or aseptic manufacturing
Specialized Knowledge:
  • • Advanced working knowledge of industrial automation platforms and architectures, including PLC, HMI/SCADA, DCS, BMS/EMS, process historians, instrumentation, drives, and industrial communication networks. • Ability to develop and review automation requirements, functional and design specifications, control narratives, I/O lists, alarm and interlock strategies, test scripts, traceability matrices, and qualification documentation. Working knowledge of cGMP, risk-based computerized system validation, GAMP principles, electronic records and signatures, data integrity, change control, deviation management, CAPA, and inspection-ready documentation. • Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis capability across electrical, electronic, controls, software, network, instrumentation, and equipment interfaces in a sterile manufacturing environment. • Effective project coordination, technical writing, vendor management, and cross-functional communication skills; proficiency with Microsoft Office and familiarity with engineering drawing, maintenance, quality, and validation systems.
