Maintenance Controls Engineer

Harbinger Motors is expanding, and we are looking for a Maintenance Control Engineer to support our advanced EV manufacturing lines (Battery, GA, EDU, Stator/Hairpin). This role bridges automation, controls, SCADA, and MES integration to ensure high equipment reliability, data accuracy, and maximum operational uptime. You will work hand-in-hand with Equipment Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers (MEs), Production, and external suppliers (both local and international) to resolve complex failures, implement continuous improvement initiatives, and execute seamless equipment transfers and upgrades.

Automation, Controls & MES Integration

Troubleshoot, program, and maintain PLCs (Siemens TIA Portal, Allen-Bradley Studio 5000), HMIs, and safety controllers.

Develop, configure, and maintain Ignition SCADA screens, tag structures, alarm pipelines, and system interfaces.

Support and troubleshoot data integration between machine controls and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

Diagnose and resolve issues on industrial networks (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, OPC-UA, Modbus, CAN).

Interpret, modify, and update electrical schematics, control loop diagrams, and P&IDs.

Vendor Support, Projects & Equipment Transfers

Collaborate directly with local and European equipment vendors/OEMs to troubleshoot complex controls issues, manage major repairs, and coordinate field service interventions.

Maintain a flexible schedule to overlap with European time zones and support critical project calls, factory acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), and remote support.

Work closely with Equipment Engineers and Manufacturing Engineers (MEs) on line installations, equipment transfers, commissioning, and engineering changes (ECR/ECN).

Continuous Improvement & Maintenance Engineering

Lead continuous improvement projects aimed at cycle-time reduction, automation optimization, line balancing, and overall downtime minimization.
