Nicklas Granath

I am not your typical desk-bound engineer. With a solid background as a machine operator and assembler within the process and manufacturing industry, I know exactly what downtime costs and the importance of usability on the factory floor. Today, I combine that practical experience with modern automation. I program structured code in Siemens TIA Portal and CODESYS, and I am proficient in Simatic Manager for maintaining legacy systems. I am just as comfortable troubleshooting signals with a multimeter as I am working on the code. My philosophy is simple: The code isn't finished until the machine runs stably. Tech enthusiast beyond 9 to 5 I am driven by creating and understanding how things work. In my spare time, I design my own solutions in Fusion 360, 3D-print prototypes, and build electronics projects with Arduino. Currently, I am also expanding my toolkit by learning Python to handle data and scripting at a higher level. Core Competencies: 🛠 PLC & Robotics: Siemens (TIA Portal, Simatic Manager), CODESYS, ABB RobotStudio (RAPID). Structured Text (ST), FBD, LAD. 💻 IT & Development: Python (Basics), Industrial IT, Networking (TCP/IP). ⚙️ Design & Prototyping: Fusion 360, 3D Printing, Arduino & Electronics. ⚡ Hardware: Motor control, VFDs, soldering, sensors, and safety circuits. On a personal note, I am a 43-year-old "doer" based in Bjärnum, Sweden. With grown-up children, I offer total flexibility regarding travel, shift work, and on-site commissioning. Looking for an automation engineer who is just as at home in the code as in the workshop? Let's connect.
