ABOUT

An engineering mindset. A practical perspective.

Bringing software engineering, industrial communications, and control-system reliability together.

Mohamed Kacen

I’m an industrial automation professional based in Malta, with an academic background in automation and hands-on experience developing and integrating Siemens control systems in demanding operational environments.

My work focuses on bringing together software engineering, industrial communications, and control-system reliability to support the modernization of established automation infrastructure.

From engineering foundations to practical integration

My engineering background began in Morocco, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Automation from the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques in Settat. This qualification is recognized at MQF Level 6 in Malta.

At ESI Malta Ltd., where I have worked since 1 August 2023, my experience spans Siemens PLC programming, legacy-system modernization, SCADA integration, industrial communication, troubleshooting, and commissioning support. My current senior title became effective in December 2025.

Continued learning. Evolving capabilities.

Siemens technical training strengthens my practical work with S7-1500, SCL, and WinCC. Alongside this, advanced studies in Big Data, business, and AI, and research into modern industrial software, support an ongoing interest in industrial digitalization.

I value clear engineering thinking: understanding the existing system, identifying integration constraints, and developing solutions that respect real operational conditions.

What I bring to engineering teams

Legacy-to-modern integration

Working across established Siemens platforms and newer control architectures.

Critical infrastructure awareness

Modernizing control systems where operational disruption must be carefully managed.

Software-centered engineering

Bringing together PLC logic, system integration, diagnostics, and SCADA functionality.

Continuous technical development

Building capabilities through Siemens training, advanced studies, and technical research.

Reliable systems. Meaningful opportunities.

Connecting with engineering teams and recruiters in industrial automation, control-system modernization, and PLC / SCADA solutions.
