• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and root-cause analysis skills
• Ability to manage multiple technical priorities and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to travel periodically to manufacturing facilities, suppliers, or customer sites

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, industrial networks, or manufacturing automation
• Experience supporting equipment commissioning, validation, or production startup
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, or Six Sigma methodologies
• Experience with regulatory compliance, functional safety, or machinery-safety standards
• Knowledge of design for manufacturability, reliability engineering, and lifecycle management
• Professional Engineer license, Engineer-in-Training certification, or relevant technical certification
• Experience working with distributed teams in a remote environment
