  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams for deployment and system improvements

Requirements

  • Strong experience with CODESYS and structured text programming
  • Knowledge of industrial automation, PLCs, and control systems
  • Experience with hardware integration (drives, sensors, fieldbus systems)
  • Problem-solving skills and experience in production support environments
  • Good communication and documentation abilities

Nice to Have

  • Motion/servo control expertise
  • Experience with robotics or automation systems
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, OPC UA)
  • Exposure to general-purpose programming languages (e.g., C++)

Software / Controls Engineer Role SummaryThe software/controls engineers are responsible for bringing the custom automation equipment to life. The mechanical team designs and builds the physical machines; these engineers wire them up, program the PLCs, configure the vision systems, program the robots, design the HMI screens, and debug everything until the equipment runs production-ready. This is completely greenfield work. There is currently little to no PLC code on the machines, no safety guarding, and minimal controls. These engineers will write everything from scratch.A key deliverable for this group is developing vision-based in-process quality inspection setups to replace $130K microscopes currently...
