Job Purpose

Design, develop, integrate, and validate advanced mechatronic, robotic, and automated systems, including construction automation solutions, within a multidisciplinary R&D environment. The role combines mechanical, electrical, electronic, embedded systems, control systems , and software engineering to deliver innovative, reliable, and cost-effective solutions throughout the development lifecycle, from requirements definition and system design through component selection, prototyping, testing, commissioning, and continuous improvement, while ensuring compliance with performance, reliability, safety, and cost requirements.

System Design & Integration

Translate operational requirements into technical specifications and system architectures.

Integrate mechanical, electrical, electronic, embedded, control, and software subsystems.

Conduct engineering calculations, feasibility studies, design reviews, and risk assessments.

Optimize performance, reliability, safety, manufacturability, and cost.

Mechanical Engineering

Develop mechanical concepts, mechanisms, assemblies, and structural interfaces.

Prepare 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs).

Evaluate component strength, alignment, vibration, installation, and maintenance.

Coordinate with fabrication and assembly teams.

Electrical & Control Engineering

Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, control-panel layouts, and system interfaces.

Calculate electrical loads and select components, protection devices, and grounding arrangements.

Develop and troubleshoot PLC programs, control sequences, interlocks, and alarms.

Robotics & Embedded Systems

Program, configure, calibrate, and integrate industrial and collaborative robots.

Develop robot motion paths, coordinated control, and sensor-based operations.

Integrate embedded firmware, electronic circuits, hardware interfaces, and PCB systems.

Sensor & Software Integration

Select and calibrate sensors, instrumentation, and feedback systems.

Integrate HMI/GUI applications, APIs, data logging, diagnostics, and automated controls.

Troubleshoot software, hardware, and communication interfaces.

Supplier Coordination

Prepare technical specifications and evaluate suppliers, components, and quotations.

Assess compatibility, performance, cost, and compliance with project requirements.

Coordinate with procurement and suppliers to resolve technical issues.

Testing & Commissioning

Assemble, configure, test, and commission prototypes and automated systems.

Execute test plans to verify functionality, accuracy, performance, reliability, and safety.

Investigate failures, implement corrective actions, and support acceptance testing.

Technical Documentation & Delivery

Maintain engineering drawings, specifications, calculations, test records, and BOMs.

Prepare operating instructions, maintenance procedures, and technical reports.

Track deliverables, manage engineering changes, and support project schedules and manufacturing deployment.

Professional Development

Continuously enhance technical knowledge, engineering competencies, and professional skills.

Participate in training, technical reviews, and knowledge-sharing activities.

Delivery & Resource Management

Complete assigned tasks within agreed schedules, budgets, and quality requirements.

Utilize resources efficiently, monitor progress, and report deviations or support requirements.

Problem-Solving & Accountability

Take ownership of assigned tasks and proactively address technical and operational challenges.

Escalate risks affecting safety, quality, cost, or project delivery.

Quality & Continuous Improvement

Ensure compliance with approved specifications, procedures, and quality standards.

Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce rework, and optimize engineering processes.

Collaboration & Compliance

Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering, project management, procurement, production, quality, and operations teams.

Comply with company policies, document-control procedures, confidentiality requirements, and intellectual property protection.

Health, Safety & Environment (HSE)

Apply applicable HSE requirements during design, assembly, testing, and commissioning.

Identify and report hazards, follow safe working practices, and maintain an organized work environment.
