Job Description

Position Title:

Operational Technology Engineer

(Shop Floor Technology Parameters Specialist)

Summary:

Responsible for maintaining, optimizing, and controlling operational technology across all shop-floor processes (Sheet metal cold working (Uncoiling & Levelling, Roll forming, Bending, Punching, Shearing). Structural Tubes and Profiles cold working (Section bending, cold Saw cutting, drilling). Arc Welding, Submerged Arc Welding, Oxyfuel Cutting, Plasma Cutting, Laser Welding, Tig Welding). Ensures validated process parameters are consistently applied, documented, and improved to maximize quality, efficiency, and equipment utilization. Acts as the knowledge hub between design, operations, and maintenance teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop, validate, and maintain

standard parameter libraries

for all critical shop-floor processes (laser cutting, CNC bending, arc welding, etc.).

Manage the

digital knowledge base

of process parameters with version control, traceability, and structured approval.

Monitor machine performance and adjust parameters to optimize

quality, throughput, and reliability.

Collaborate with operators, maintenance, and production engineering to

capture and formalize tribal knowledge.

Provide

technical training and support

to operations and maintenance teams on correct parameter usage.

Integrate parameter management into

CAD/CAM, MES, and CNC/PLC systems.

Participate in

continuous improvement projects

(Such as OEE optimization).

Support troubleshooting of parameter-related quality or performance issues.

Act as the

guardian of process integrity

, ensuring parameters align with engineering standards and customer requirements.

Qualifications:

Degree/Diploma in

Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or related field.

5+ years' experience in

CNC/PLC-based manufacturing processes not the control systems

(metal fabrication industry preferred).

Strong knowledge of process parameters in at least two of the following:

laser technology, welding technology, CNC cold forming, thermal cutting.

Experience with

CAD/CAM software, MES, and industrial controllers (PLC, CNC, IPCs).

Familiarity with

OT/IT integration

and Industry 4.0 concepts is a plus.

Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: Up to AED7,000.00 per month

Experience:

CNC/PLC-based manufacturing processes : 5 years (Preferred) process parameters of laser, welding, CNC cold forming: 5 years (Preferred) * CAD/CAM software, MES, and industrial Controllers: 5 years (Preferred)
