Job Description
Imagine this scenario A production line hesitates. An HMI flashes a fault. You move—checking a feedback device, comparing waveforms on an oscilloscope, then stepping into the PLC to trace a communication hiccup. You replace a failed sensor with a qualified alternate, tighten a loop with a quick PID adjustment, and bring the system back smoother than before. That blend of investigation, action, and improvement is your craft at Prysmian. Join a global leader Prysmian—the world's foremost wire and cable manufacturer—expanded its North American capabilities in 2024 with the acquisition of Encore Wire in McKinney, Texas. We produce the cables and connectivity that power cities, enable infrastructure, and carry data for telecom networks. With nearly 9,000 colleagues in North America and 33,000 worldwide, we're united by a commitment to excellence and impact. Role highlights
