Automation Technician

Data Science at TRACTIAN The Data Science team at TRACTIAN focuses on extracting valuable insights from vast amounts of industrial data. Using advanced statistical methods, algorithms, and data visualization techniques, this team transforms raw data into actionable intelligence that drives decision-making across engineering, product development, and operational strategies. The team constantly works on optimizing prediction models, identifying trends, and providing data-driven solutions that directly enhance the company’s operational efficiency and the quality of its products. What you'll do As an Automation Technician, you will be responsible for executing industrial electrical installations and automation systems within our simulation laboratory. Your main tasks will include wiring and commissioning of equipment such as motors, gearmotors, compressors, fans, centrifugal pumps, and custom test benches, using components like VFDs, soft starters, and other standard industrial devices. You will ensure these systems are installed safely and operate reliably under test conditions. Beyond installation, you will play a central role in automating and securing test environments. This includes programming inverters for automatic speed and load control, developing motor control strategies for simulating dynamometers, implementing safety triggers and interlocks, and designing control systems for new or upgraded test benches. You’ll be expected to diagnose and resolve automation issues, continuously improving the efficiency and safety of our lab operations. You’ll also support the optimization of our data acquisition systems, integrating and maintaining Tractian sensors, DAQs, vibration analyzers, thermal cameras, and commercial process sensors (e.g., flow, pressure, torque, temperature). While your core focus is electrical and automation, you’ll occasionally assist in mechanical setups and other lab operations. This position demands hands-on experience in industrial automation, strong diagnostic skills, and a solid understanding of safety protocols, documentation practices, and cross-functional collaboration.
