This role focuses on either PLC or robotics expertise and involves creating reliable, efficient, and integrated control systems that support a mission-driven, innovation-focused organization.Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement control systems for automation and robotic equipment used in Powertrain manufacturing.
Specialize in either PLC or robotics, taking ownership of projects in your core area of expertise.
Program and troubleshoot PLCs, with a focus on Siemens TIA Portal for logic, HMI/SCADA, and motion control applications.
Develop and optimize HMI/SCADA interfaces to ensure efficient and intuitive operation of production equipment.
Configure and commission drives and motion control systems, including servos and variable frequency drives (VFDs).
Integrate and support controls hardware such as sensors, remote I/O, servos, VFDs, machine vision systems, and barcode readers.
Implement and maintain industrial networking protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, and related technologies.
Program, integrate, and troubleshoot 6-axis industrial robots, primarily FANUC, including cell integration and path optimization.
Leverage iRVision or similar machine vision tools (when applicable) to enhance robotic guidance and inspection processes.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams in automation, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering to deliver robust production solutions.
Present and verbally walk through at least one recent project (completed within the past two years) that demonstrates your PLC or robotics expertise during the interview process.
Document control system designs, configurations, and changes to support maintainability and knowledge sharing.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to increase equipment reliability, throughput, and safety.
Utilize an integrated engineering environment (such as TIA Portal) to streamline development, testing, and deployment of control solutions.

Essential Skills

Minimum of 12 years of recent, relevant experience in controls engineering, automation engineering, or a closely related field within the last two years.
Strong proficiency in either PLC programming or robotics (expertise in both is welcome but not required).
For PLC-focused candidates: hands-on experience with Siemens TIA Portal for PLC programming, HMI/SCADA design, and drive/motion control configuration.
For robotics-focused candidates: professional experience with FANUC 6-axis robots, including programming, integration, and troubleshooting.

Experience with controls hardware such as sensors, remote I/O, servos, VFDs, machine vision systems, and barcode readers.
Familiarity with industrial networking protocols such as Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and EtherCAT.
Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls and Computer Control Systems, Mechatronic Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to diagnose and resolve issues in complex automated systems.
Solid understanding of automation and controls engineering principles in an industrial or manufacturing environment.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience with integrated engineering platforms like TIA Portal to manage PLC, HMI, and motion control in a unified environment.
Exposure to additional robotics platforms beyond FANUC is beneficial.
Experience with iRVision or other machine vision tools is a plus but not required.
Experience in programming and robotics within high-volume manufacturing or automotive/powertrain environments is advantageous.
Ability to work effectively in cross-functional, high-performance teams focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
