Automation Engineer – Mechanical, Electrical & PLC Systems

Location: Akola, Maharashtra

Company: Pneutomatic Engineering

About Us:

Pneutomatic Engineering specializes in custom automation, machinery, and robotics solutions. Our 30,000 sqft facility houses advanced CNC, laser cutting, bending, fabrication, and assembly capabilities — where engineering meets execution. We design and build everything from automated industrial systems to innovative mechanical products.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a hands-on Automation Engineer with a strong foundation in mechanical design, electrical systems, and PLC-based automation. The ideal candidate can bridge the gap between design and production — guiding teams across fabrication, assembly, and control integration to bring complete machines to life.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop automation systems combining mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic components.
• Create and review SolidWorks designs, fabrication drawings, and assembly documentation.
• Design and assemble control panels, integrate PLCs, sensors, and actuators, and program control logic.
• Collaborate with CNC operators, fabricators, and assembly teams to ensure precision and build quality.
• Test, debug, and commission machines with complete mechanical and electrical integration.
• Prepare and maintain wiring diagrams, pneumatic schematics, and technical documentation.
• Lead the assembly and commissioning team for new machine installations.
• Ensure all automation systems comply with safety and operational standards.

Requirements:

• B.E./Diploma in Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering
• Minimum 5 years of experience in industrial automation, machinery, or custom equipment manufacturing
• Strong working knowledge of:
• SolidWorks / CAD design
• Pneumatic systems
• Electrical motors, sensors, and actuators
• PLC programming (Siemens, Delta, Mitsubishi, etc.)
• Panel wiring and integration
• Practical understanding of fabrication, machining, and assembly processes
• Strong leadership and project execution skills

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with robotics, motion control, or servo systems
• Familiarity with HMI development and VFD configuration
• On-site installation and troubleshooting experience

Why Join Us:

Work at the intersection of mechanical innovation and automation intelligence. At Pneutomatic Engineering, you'll be part of projects that push boundaries — from industrial robotics to futuristic machinery built from the ground up.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: ₹350, ₹450,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Cell phone reimbursement

Application Question(s):

• Explain the difference between a synchronous and BLDC motor. Where would you prefer each?
• What's your approach to selecting a motor and gearbox for a machine mechanism?
• How do you decide the bore and stroke of a pneumatic cylinder for a given task?
• How do you wire a sensor or limit switch to a PLC input?
• If a machine doesn't perform as per design, how do you identify whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or programming related?
