Position: Automation Engineer / Senior Automation Engineer
Location: Kotka, Finland
Department: Equipment & Maintenance
Position Type: Full-time
We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Automation Engineer to join our Equipment Department at the new CAM battery materials
plant in Kotka. Joining us during the critical installation and commissioning phase, you will work directly with our engineering
teams on the shop floor to master the factory’s control systems. As the plant transitions into full operation, you will serve as
the core technical pillar, responsible for maintaining, modifying, and optimizing automation logic to ensure continuous and
efficient production.
PLC/DCS Programming & Troubleshooting: Independently conduct root-cause diagnostics, program modifications, and code optimization
for Siemens PCS7 (DCS) and S7-1200/1500 (PLC) systems to rapidly resolve daily production downtimes.
Field Loop & Drive Diagnostics: Perform hands-on field testing of I/O signals, PID loop tuning, and parameter
configuration/troubleshooting for variable frequency drives (VFDs) and other field instrumentation.
System Interface Execution: Establish and configure data links, address mapping, and industrial communication protocols between
main process systems and third-party units (e.g., AHU, Fire Alarm Interlocks, Schneider HV SCADA monitoring, and Security/IIoT
platforms).
Technical Scoping & Vendor Review: Define precise technical requirements (control logic diagrams, I/O lists, communication
standards) for outsourced system modifications. Review vendor-submitted codes and lead the technical execution of Factory and Site
Acceptance Tests (FAT/SAT).
Commissioning & Handover: Maintain a strong presence on the shop floor during the current installation phase. Work alongside the
EPC team to thoroughly understand the underlying code and system architecture, ensuring a seamless technical handover to the
operations team with zero knowledge gaps.
Experience: 5 to 10 years of robust, hands-on experience in industrial automation programming, commissioning, and field
troubleshooting within heavy industry, chemical, or similar highly automated manufacturing environments.
Education vs. Capability: A relevant degree (B.Sc. or M.Sc.) in Automation or Electrical Engineering is preferred; however, proven
hands-on capability, coding proficiency, and extensive field experience are valued above formal education.
Core Expertise: Deep, proven practical experience with Siemens PCS7 and TIA Portal is mandatory.
Troubleshooting Skills: Exceptional diagnostic skills with the ability to independently resolve complex control loops, drive
faults, and industrial communication network issues.
System Architecture: Solid understanding of OT network architectures, industrial communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus,
OPC UA), and safe data integration practices.
Mindset: A proactive, shop-floor-oriented problem solver who thrives on direct technical execution rather than pure administrative
management.
Language: Fluent in English (corporate language); Finnish or Chinese language proficiency is a strong advantage.
If you are interested in this position, please apply at your earliest convenience. We are looking to fill this role as soon as
possible.
