Build the Systems That Power Advanced Manufacturing
If you're the type of engineer who sees a production issue and immediately starts thinking about control logic, network architecture, equipment reliability, and process optimization, this role was built for you.
At Novelis, our Automation Engineers don't sit on the sidelines supporting equipment. They own critical manufacturing systems, solve complex technical challenges, and drive improvements that directly impact safety, quality, reliability, throughput, and profitability.
This is a hands-on engineering role with broad technical ownership across PLCs, SCADA systems, instrumentation, industrial networks, machine controls, and plant-wide automation. You'll have the opportunity to work on a wide range of sophisticated manufacturing equipment, lead modernization initiatives, support capital projects, and implement solutions that keep a high-performing operation running at its best.
