Manufacturing Engineering × Senior
Senior Engineer with 12 years of experience in the manufacturing industry, specializing in control system development and project management for industrial machinery and automation systems. Proven expertise in PLC design through on-site implementation, leveraging strong cross-departmental coordination skills and quality improvement methodologies to meet complex technical requirements within strict deadlines. Capable of leading technical negotiations and overseeing mass production transitions for both foreign and domestic companies.
📌 Career Summary
- ▸〇〇 Technologies (Domestic Manufacturer): Control System Development Department -> Senior Engineer (2012-2019)
- ▸Identified on-site needs and drove IoT integration and PLC replacement for legacy equipment. Responsible for mentoring junior staff and standardizing specifications, resulting in improved team development efficiency.
- ▸△△ Industries (Foreign Automation Company): Lead System Architect (2019-Present)
- ▸Participated in smart factory proposals for North America and Southeast Asia. Conducted direct technical negotiations with customer CTOs and led the full lifecycle from POC construction to mass production transition.
📌 Achievements & Strengths
- ▸Improved average customer production line uptime by 18% through integrated PLC and SCADA development across 42 cumulative lines.
- ▸Reduced prototype stage defect rates by 35% year-over-year by implementing design reviews utilizing APQP and FMEA methodologies.
- ▸Compressed annual technical support costs by approximately ¥28 million (112% achievement rate) by strengthening collaboration with overseas local subsidiaries.
- ▸Led the development of internal standard library 'AutoCtrl Base v2.0,' reducing initial design man-hours for new projects by an average of 20%.
📌 Skills
- ▸Control & Embedded: Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000, IEC 61131-3 (ST/LD/FBD), CANopen/PROFINET.
- ▸Software & Data: Python (NumPy/Pandas), C++ (Qt), MQTT/OPC UA, Docker, Git/GitLab CI.

- ▸Communication: Technical sales and negotiation with customer CTOs, asynchronous collaboration in multinational teams (JP/US/MY), and mentoring juniors.
📌 Self-PR
- ▸My creed is 'Solving gritty on-site problems with solid technology and dialogue.' In a large press machine control update project, specification mismatches between mechanical and electrical sides stalled development. I visited the site, revalidated operator workflows, and conducted joint simulations with the mechanical vendor. This early resolution allowed us to launch the mass production line three weeks ahead of schedule. This experience taught me that technical skill alone is insufficient; creating a 'common language' by understanding stakeholders' backgrounds and constraints is key to success. I aim to contribute to next-generation manufacturing system infrastructure with this site-centric technical leadership.
💡 Key Tips
- 💡For senior roles, emphasize 'cross-functional/external coordination achievements' and 'organizational impact' over individual technical skills. Structure numbers around ROI, quality, delivery, and cost axes to enhance persuasiveness.
- 💡Evaluation criteria differ between domestic and foreign companies. Highlight 'long-term stability, QA, continuous improvement' for domestic firms, and 'scalability, business impact, autonomous decision-making' for foreign entities. Tailor your resume accordingly.
- 💡Prepare specific examples for technical interviews explaining 'why you chose a certain architecture' and 'lessons learned from failures.' Bringing diagrams or simplified logs can significantly improve impressions.
- 💡Clearly state your understanding of ISO standards and safety regulations (e.g., ISO 13849, SIL levels) to address compliance concerns typical in the manufacturing industry.
- 💡Write career history using the 'Role -> Action -> Result' format. Express gaps or job changes positively as 'strategic moves for career advancement.'
