Build reusable libraries/toolbox components and maintain disciplined versioning and documentation.
Integrate field devices (sensors, drives, pneumatics), tune motion, and validate machine safety per applicable standards.
Travel for short startups/service (generally day trips; overall < 15%).
Partner cross‑functionally to refine requirements, review schematics, and hand off to production and support.
What You'll Bring (Core)
Solid electronics fundamentals; comfortable with a multimeter and tracing signals.
Applied programming aptitude (clean style, basic algorithms/complexity, disciplined documentation).
Proficiency in one or more languages: C/C++/C#/Python/Java/JavaScript/Ruby.
Comfort with Linux/Windows command line, spreadsheets/data normalization, and Boolean logic.
Problem‑isolation mindset, pragmatism (seek resolution over perfection), and clear communication with teams & customers.
Willingness to write organized, well‑documented code and learn new stacks quickly.
Nice to Have (Preferred)
PLC/HMI/Motion: IEC 61131‑3 (Structured Text & Ladder); CoDeSys/SoMachine on Schneider & Wago; Rockwell/Allen‑Bradley; Mitsubishi (FX/A/Q/iQ); HMI for Schneider (Proface), Red Lion, Mitsubishi, PanelView; SoftMotion; servo systems.
Standards & Schematics: ANSI Y32.2/IEEE & IEC electrical symbols; ANSI/ISA S5.1 P&IDs; working knowledge of UL508A & NFPA 79.
Networks: Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, J1939.
