Electrical Controls & Motion Systems Trainee

Engineering — AI & Automation Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (on-site) Trainee / Internship

About the programme

Our parent company, Recognized Ltd, headquartered in Manchester, UK, partners with leading garment manufacturers across five countries to develop AI-powered automation solutions for the textile and apparel industry. We combine machine vision, artificial intelligence, mechatronics and industrial automation to create high-speed systems that make precise decisions in under one second.

Role objective

Integrate electrical and electronic subsystems for industrial automation machines, with emphasis on PLC integration, control-panel wiring, servo motor and drive connections, encoder feedback, sensor interfacing and machine-level commissioning. This is a hands-on mechatronics role focused on making motors, drives, sensors, PLCs and mechanical modules work together as a complete automated system.

What you'll do

  • Wire electrical panels, machine control circuits, sensors, actuators, power supplies, relays, contactors and terminal blocks
  • Integrate PLCs with servo drives, motors, encoders, sensors, HMIs and machine safety circuits
  • Connect servo motors to drives — power cables, encoder/feedback cables, communication interfaces and control signals, following manufacturer specifications
  • Assist with servo enable, homing, jog movement, direction, speed, position and basic motion-sequence checks under supervision
  • Support PLC I/O mapping, digital and analogue signal interfacing, interlocks, alarms and ladder-logic debugging
  • Integrate encoders with PLCs or motion controllers for position feedback, speed measurement and synchronisation with conveyors or inspection systems
  • Connect industrial cameras, photoelectric sensors, proximity sensors, limit switches and other instrumentation to the control system
  • Assist with commissioning servo-driven conveyors, gantries, indexing mechanisms and automated assemblies
  • Troubleshoot wiring faults, incorrect I/O states, communication failures, servo alarms, feedback errors and integration issues
  • Conduct electrical safety checks, I/O verification, motion tests, interlock validation and system-level testing
  • Maintain wiring diagrams, PLC backups, parameter records, commissioning checklists and test reports

Who can apply

  • Third-year or final-year degree or diploma student in Mechatronics, EEE, ECE, Instrumentation, Embedded Systems or a related discipline
  • Basic understanding of electrical wiring, motors, sensors and control circuits
  • Interest in PLCs, servo motors, drives and industrial automation
  • A practical mindset, curiosity and willingness to learn, with the ability to work on-site in Coimbatore

Nice to have (not mandatory)

Siemens / Mitsubishi / Delta / Omron PLC Servo motor & drive wiring Parameter configuration Pulse/direction & analogue interfaces Encoders Proximity & limit sensors Relays & contactors 24 V DC control circuits Ladder logic HMI configuration Modbus / EtherCAT / PROFINET Schematics & panel wiring

Programme and progression

  • Trainee stage: first 3 months (hourly stipend)
  • Intern stage: continues until degree/diploma completion (hourly stipend)
  • Possible full-time offer after graduation, conditional on performance, business needs and completion of the degree or diploma
  • Designed for third-year and final-year degree and diploma students (18+ by start date)
  • Hours are planned around the college timetable; exam leave and college paperwork support provided
  • Occasional late or weekend work for installations or trials, with advance agreement; weekend days are compensated with weekday leave

Mentorship and learning

You'll receive guided training, a mentor from day one, and regular one-to-one progress reviews. The work involves real machine builds, integration, testing and customer trials — not only classroom exercises. Strong performers may receive letters of recommendation for jobs or higher studies.

How to apply

Email your resume to contact@flowgrad.com. Include your year of study, branch, college, and a short note about a project you have built. Photos, videos or a GitHub link are welcome. The selection process is a short call, a practical assessment (for example wiring a sensor, debugging a circuit or a small technical task), and an offer for successful candidates.

We are an equal-opportunity employer. We never ask candidates for money at any stage of recruitment.
