Controls & Electronics Engineer, Industrial Automation and Defect Detection

Controls & Electronics Engineer, Industrial Automation and Defect Detection

NITS Engineering, Computer Vision and Industrial Automation Division

Location: New Delhi, India

Type: Full time

About the Division

NITS Engineering's Computer Vision and Industrial Automation Division builds the machine vision, controls, and automation systems that power precision manufacturing across the company's product lines, from biofabrication system to a growing range of automated defect detection systems. The division works at the intersection of industrial electronics, PLC based control, and machine vision, developing systems that catch defects, drive quality decisions, and keep manufacturing lines running reliably. As the division scales, it is expanding its automation, controls, and computer vision capability to support new product lines and manufacturing processes across NITS Engineering.

About the Role

We are looking for a Controls & Electronics Engineer to join the division and lead the PLC development of industrial automation and defect detection systems, starting with our existing bottle cap defect detection and extending to other advanced engineering platforms as the division's scope grows. The role also supports broader automation systems work as needed.

The role spans PLC based machine control, motion systems, sensors, actuators, machine vision, industrial electronics, temperature control, and fluidic systems, with a particular focus on building automated defect detection capability into our platforms. You will work across the complete system, from selecting and integrating components and developing control and vision based inspection logic, to wiring, commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of the machine.
