Job description
Location: US-NJ-Lakewood
Compensation: $120,000 to $140,000 DOE
Overview:
Individuals will be responsible for installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting the automation systems for automated utility, processing, filling, inspection, and packaging equipment. The system will be PLC, SCADA, and PC based. The individual will be expected to perform system administration (access control, software revision control, back-up and recovery), and perform troubleshooting for malfunctioning systems. The individual will be responsible for specifying control system and control system documentation requirements for new systems. The individual will be responsible for reviewing functional specifications for both hardware and software for new automated systems for process, filling, utilities, packaging, and inspection equipment. Individual will be responsible for specifying and troubleshooting vision inspection systems. Individuals should be capable of preparing a preferred vendors list for control system hardware. Individuals will be responsible for specifying and troubleshooting instrumentation.
The actual programming of systems will be minimal, but the individual is expected to be able to make minor modifications to code and HMI graphics for smaller in-house changes, therefore the individual must be able to read logic and perform some programming as well as update control system documentation.
Individual must be capable of reading and understanding electrical control system diagrams (control panel wiring diagrams, loop drawings, panel layout drawings and schedules, etc.). Individuals must be comfortable walking down control system diagrams and red-lining them to reflect as built conditions. ACAD and networking experience a plus, but not an absolute requirement.
- Understand 21 CFR Part 11, cGMP, and other regulatory guidance associated with computer / automation-based systems.
- Provide support for the engineering and design of automated systems
- Understand and read complex ladder logic
- Understand PLC/ PC based controllers and functionality
- Troubleshoot low voltage control wiring
- Working knowledge of vision inspection systems and related quality
- Define requirements for vendor design documentation.
- Generate user requirement specifications for control systems.
- Review vendor automation design documentation (FRS, DDS, requirements traceability matrix, code, and logic).
- Working knowledge of vision inspection systems and related quality processes in a GMP environment.
- Review qualification protocols of automated systems.
- Support the execution of the qualification of automated control systems.
- Proficient in reading and interpreting electrical schematics for troubleshooting and repair
- Prepare risk assessments for automated systems.
- Prepare Change Controls associated with changes to control systems
- Able to perform complex assessments for computer systems against current industry compliance requirements
