Architect, write, and debug PLC code.
Implement vision systems for robotic guidance, quality control and data collection.
Design systems to control processes, track factory performance and collaborate across teams to increase manufacturing efficiency in a data driven way.
Design user interfaces that make complex machines easy to use and troubleshoot.
Create electrical, pneumatic and fluid schematics for control panels.
Keep our factories safe by implementing ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant systems.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or another STEM field.
1+ years’ experience in the design and commissioning of automation and controls systems for manufacturing (internships/co-ops can apply).
