Controls Engineer

Reference: 10112_1793282479

Role Overview

  • Develop CODESYS-based machine control logic on Linux industrial PCs
  • Build standardized device abstraction layers for motors, drives, sensors, actuators, and I/O
  • Assemble reusable control components for conveyors, merges, diverts, and sortation systems
  • Perform lab-based hardware integration and controls validation in the Bellevue, WA lab
  • Mature software from prototype through production release
  • Create technical documentation, runbooks, and handoff materials
  • Provide engineering support for the first 1-2 deployments, then transition to deployment teams

Required Skills & Experience

  • 5+ years of hands-on CODESYS development (mandatory)
  • Strong IEC 61131-3 Structured Text and Function Block programming
  • Experience with modular, layered PLC/controls architectures
  • Background in industrial automation (material handling, conveyance, sortation, manufacturing)
  • Hands-on integration of motors, drives, sensors, actuators, and I/O
  • Fieldbus experience: EtherCAT (primary), EtherNet/IP, Profinet
  • Familiarity with Linux-based industrial PCs
  • Software development discipline: Git, version control, code reviews, structured testing

Important:
TwinCAT / Beckhoff-only experience will not be considered. This role requires direct CODESYS expertise.

Work Model & Travel Expectations

  • Hybrid work preferred for candidates based in the Seattle/Bellevue area, with regular lab presence
  • Remote US-based candidates are accepted due to CODESYS skill scarcity
  • Periodic travel is required for lab-based integration testing and early deployments
  • Onsite support is required for the first 1-2 deployments of each new control area
  • Travel is planned in advance and fully covered

This role is well-suited for engineers who enjoy building product-quality controls software, working within a defined architecture, and contributing to a platform deployed at global scale.

About the program Amazon Robotics is building its own conveyance controls platform from the ground up, replacing the outside-integrator software that runs the conveyor and sortation systems in its fulfillment centers today. The platform is CODESYS V3 on Linux industrial PCs, EtherCAT and IO-Link field networks, and an object-oriented Structured Text codebase built as reusable device libraries, standard features and configurable site applications. The first site goes live in Atlanta in early 2027, with further sites starting development in January and a multi-year, multi-site roadmap behind them. What you will do Design, develop and test controls software in CODESYS V3...
