Duties Include: Research new platforms, hardware, and strategies used for the control and monitoring of automated manufacturing equipment. This includes but is not limited to PLCs, robots, safety, HMIs, SCADA, network, vision and motion control. Determine ways to take full advantage of these new technologies to design world-class automation controls standards that minimize development time, commissioning time, and unplanned downtime. Write and own the standards, specifications, and procedures that must be followed both internally and by external vendors designing manufacturing equipment for customers. Build out libraries of modular code and templates that will be used as the building blocks for manufacturing equipment across the entire company. Create tools to automate various steps in the development and deployment process such as scripts for auto-generating PLC code or HMI screens. Design network topology strategies that optimize the equipment for remote accessibility, diagnostics, backups, data collection, and cybersecurity. Architect, write, and debug PLCs using Ladder Logic and/or Structured Text with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable and reusable. Generate user HMI and SCADA screens that are user-friendly, intuitive and suitable for operating and troubleshooting equipment. Specify (ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high volume manufacturing equipment. Design the interfaces for interaction between the manufacturing equipment and supervisory level systems such as the factories Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Validate these internally developed standards and tools on production-representative lab equipment and virtual simulations to ensure high quality and robust behavior.
This Position requires: Master’s degree in Mechatronics, Electrical or Automation Engineering or a bachelor’s degree in the same with 5+ years of experience.
