- Commission and troubleshoot automated systems on-site, including PLCs, HMIs, drives, motion controllers, robots and associated sensors and actuators.
- Integrate control systems with plant networks and supervisory systems using Ethernet/IP, Modbus and other industrial protocols.
- Work with mechanical and electrical teams to design and review control panels, I/O wiring, and ladder/structured text documentation.
- Implement and test motion control sequences, servo/drive configurations and robotic interfaces to meet production requirements.
- Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for recurring issues; apply continuous-improvement principles to increase uptime and performance.
- Create and maintain clear documentation: functional specifications, wiring diagrams, PLC/HMI code comments, commissioning reports and SOPs.
- Ensure compliance with safety standards, lockout/tagout procedures and machine guarding requirements during design and commissioning.
- Provide hands-on support to maintenance and operations teams, and train personnel on control-system operation and troubleshooting.

- Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience programming and commissioning PLCs and HMIs in a manufacturing environment, with proven Rockwell/Allen-Bradley experience.
- Strong experience with FactoryTalk (View/ME/SE) for HMI/SCADA visualization and operator interface development.
- Proficient in PLC programming languages (ladder logic, function block, and/or structured text) and in-field troubleshooting of control systems.
- Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP and Modbus, and experience integrating systems with SCADA or MES.
- Ability to read and produce electrical schematics, panel layouts and I/O lists; experience with control panel assembly and field wiring practices.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work safely in a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
- Nice-to-have: experience with Mitsubishi PLCs, Yaskawa drives/robotics, SCADA systems, motion control, industrial robotics integration, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, Ethernet networking, Modbus implementation, and control panel design.
- Preferred certifications: Rockwell Automation certification or equivalent vendor credentials; experience with FactoryTalk certification is a plus.
