Automation Engineer - Facilities SCADA & PLC (f/m/d)

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Automation Engineer to take technical ownership of the Facilities Monitoring and Control System (FMCS) that keeps our fab running - the system that supervises every utility our production depends on, from cleanroom air and chilled water to process cooling, exhaust and power monitoring. The system is delivered and commissioned by an external integrator; from handover, it's yours. You won't be building it from scratch - you'll be the person who understands it well enough to keep it running, diagnose it when it misbehaves, extend it as we grow from pilot line to full production, and hold suppliers to account. If the FMCS has an issue at 03:00, you're the one who knows what to do.

To join our team, you should be excited to:

• Operate, monitor and maintain our SCADA system (Siemens WinCC OA) across servers, operator stations and displays

• Maintain and diagnose our Siemens S7-1500 PLCs and their remote I/O, and adapt control logic within the existing standardised structure

• Plan and perform loop checks end to end - tracing each signal from the field device through wiring, I/O and PLC all the way to the operator screen, and confirming that commands actually move valves, dampers and
