You will take ownership of projects from initial concept through commissioning, work extensively with PLC and HMI technologies, and collaborate closely with a team of engineers to deliver reliable, high-quality automation solutions. The position involves a mix of hands-on field work, software development, and mentoring, providing a dynamic environment for both technical and professional growth.Responsibilities

Develop, implement, and modify PLC software for automation systems using Allen-Bradley and Siemens platforms, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
Lead automation projects from concept to completion, including requirements review, control strategy design, software development, testing, and final handover.
Create, configure, and maintain I/O trees from scratch based on electrical diagrams, ensuring accurate mapping between hardware and software.
Interpret and work from electrical diagrams to design and implement control logic and system architecture.
Commission devices and systems "out of the box" in the field, verifying correct operation and making necessary adjustments to achieve stable performance.
Debug PLC programs, HMI screens, and control systems to identify root causes of issues and implement effective corrective actions.
Design, develop, and configure HMI applications to provide intuitive operator interfaces and clear visualization of system status.
Integrate and support vision systems and related automation hardware as part of overall control solutions.
Collaborate with other engineers and technical staff to plan, coordinate, and execute automation projects in industrial environments.
Travel to customer sites approximately 30% to 65% of the time to support commissioning, troubleshooting, and project implementation activities.
Provide mentorship, guidance, and training to less experienced engineers, helping them develop technical skills and best practices.
Contribute to a supportive, learning-focused team culture by sharing knowledge, participating in code reviews, and offering constructive feedback.

Essential Skills

Strong proficiency in PLC programming with Allen-Bradley and Siemens platforms, including development, implementation, and troubleshooting of automation software.
Minimum of 5+ years of experience with Siemens and/or Allen-Bradley PLCs in industrial automation applications.
