Manage scope, schedule, budget, and cross-functional teams; provide hands-on technical guidance for assembly, integration, validation, troubleshooting, and supplier oversight. Develop URS, specifications, documentation, and training materials while supporting continuous improvement in a cGMP/aseptic manufacturing environment.

Support wiring, fabrication, and documentation of controls and automation equipment for a pilot production line and lab. Assist with sensor/field-device integration, PLC/HMI programming, schematic review, SOP creation, and task tracking under guidance from a controls engineer.

Execute and validate automated analytical workflows and maintain automated liquid-handling systems. Program and troubleshoot automation platforms (Hamilton, Biosero, HighRes), integrate scheduling software, ensure GLP-compliant documentation, improve throughput and data quality, and support lab operations and maintenance in an on-site, hands-on R&D environment.

Design, build and maintain automated test frameworks, scripts and repositories for web, Windows and mobile apps. Create test plans/cases, report defects, validate fixes, document processes, and train other engineers on automation procedures.

Design, build, and maintain automated test suites for web apps and APIs. Create end-to-end test plans, execute regression/functional/smoke tests, log and triage defects, troubleshoot failures, and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines. Collaborate with developers and product teams in Agile ceremonies to shift manual testing to scalable automation.

Build and scale reliable browser automation systems and execution infrastructure. Design stealth automation engines using browser fingerprinting and proxy management, orchestrate thousands of concurrent long-running workflows, and implement AI-assisted, self-healing scripts that adapt to dynamic UIs and maintain high consistency and low latency in production.

Design, implement and maintain test automation frameworks and automated test cases; select tools; integrate with CI/CD; perform functional, integration, regression, cross-browser and performance testing; validate data using SQL/PLSQL; collaborate with developers and business stakeholders; produce test metrics and reports.

Lead design and implementation of DCS/PLC-based control systems: write control code, develop HMI graphics, prepare functional and test specifications, execute FATs, perform on-site commissioning/start-up, coordinate with clients and engineering disciplines, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, program, test, and commission PLC-based industrial control systems. Develop PLC code and HMI/SCADA graphics, prepare functional and test specifications, perform factory acceptance testing, and support on-site commissioning, start-up, and control system upgrades or expansions.

The Project Engineer II/III leads automation projects, assists customers with system design and implementation, mentors staff, contributes to proposals, and ensures quality within schedules and budgets.
