Motion System configurations.

. Prepare system-level IO lists, architecture documents, and control flow diagrams.

. Lead end-to-end commissioning of OT systems at Kalwa and supplier sites.

IIoT & IT-OT Integration

. Integrate OT data and control systems with IT platforms using Node-RED, OPC UA, and

industrial gateways. Develop dashboards and data flows for real-time monitoring and

control using tools like Node-RED.

. Implement machine connectivity and analytics via Siemens MindSphere or equivalent

industrial IoT platforms.

. Enable remote diagnostics, condition monitoring, and data logging across machine setups.

System Integration & Connectivity

. Interface third-party automation components such as servo drives, robotics

(industrial/cobot), vision systems, laser markers, label printers, and more.

. Work with protocols like PROFINET, PROFIBUS, TCP/IP, RS-232, and Modbus.

. Assist in integrating pneumatics, hydraulics, and motion control with OT logic and

diagnostics.

. Ensure cyber-secure network design for OT components within broader enterprise

infrastructure.

Standardization & Continuous Improvement

. Develop standardized OT code libraries and HMI templates for scalable reuse.

. Maintain consistency in OT software across SPM platforms to increase efficiency and

reduce errors.

. Propose and implement improvements in development workflows, commissioning

practices, and data integration methods.

Qualifications & Technical Skills:

. Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Instrumentation, Mechatronics, Electrical, or related

fields.

. 8+ years of experience in OT software development and industrial automation systems.

. Proficiency in Siemens automation (S7-1200/1500, TIA Portal, WinCC) and industrial

integration.

. Strong working knowledge of Node-RED, MindSphere, OPC UA, and IIoT frameworks.

. Hands-on experience with integrating industrial robots, collaborative robots (cobots),

and vision systems.

. Familiarity with EPLAN for reviewing electrical integration with OT.

. Understanding of network architectures, IT-OT gateways, and data protocols (MQTT,

HTTP, REST APIs).

. Practical knowledge of interfacing with pneumatic, hydraulic, and motion control systems.

Personal Attributes:

. Strong problem-solving mindset with a proactive approach to technology adoption.

. Passionate about digital transformation in industrial environments.

. Self-motivated and able to independently manage development and commissioning tasks.
