Salary: Rp 5.000.000 – Rp 7.000.000 per month
About the role
This is a full-time, on-site Automation Engineer role based in Bandung. The Automation Engineer will design, develop, and implement automation industry solutions that combine IoT sensing, robotics, and AI-based computer vision for manufacturing and industrial clients to improve efficiency. Day-to-day tasks include real deployments — cycle-time monitoring, presence/object detection, robotic process integration — not research projects, and performing root-cause analysis for technical issues. The role also involves collaborating with cross-functional teams, preparing technical documentation, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives in line with company standards and safety regulations.
Key responsibilities
Design, install, and commission automation systems integrating PLCs, IoT devices, sensors, and industrial cameras
Deploy and tune AI vision models (YOLO, OpenCV-based pipelines) for tasks like object detection, presence detection, and cycle-time measurement
Integrate vision system outputs with industrial control systems (PLC, SCADA, MES) and IoT platforms
Configure and troubleshoot industrial PCs, cameras, and edge computing hardware
Support field deployments and client handovers (documentation, BAST, training)
Collaborate with clients to scope automation/CV use cases and translate them into working systems
About you
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field
2+ years hands-on experience with industrial automation (PLC programming, SCADA, sensors/actuators)
Working knowledge of computer vision libraries (OpenCV, YOLO/Ultralytics, or similar) — able to deploy and tune pre-trained models, not necessarily train from scratch
Experience with IoT protocols (MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA)
Comfortable with Python for integration scripting
Willing to travel for on-site deployment and commissioning
Ability to work on-site in Bandung, collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams, and communicate clearly in written and spoken English and Indonesian
Experience with industrial cameras and edge AI hardware (Jetson, industrial PC + GPU setups)
Familiarity with robotics integration (AMR/AGV, robotic arms)
Prior experience in manufacturing environments (automotive, electronics, textile)
Benefits
Competitive Compensation Package: Base salary aligned with experience and skill level
Healthcare & Protection: Full coverage for BPJS Kesehatan and BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, plus a complimentary Annual Medical Check-Up (MCU) for full-time employees
Financial Perks: Guaranteed Tunjangan Hari Raya (THR) and eligibility for annual performance-based bonuses
