• Support validation activities using test benches, development hardware, production equipment, and vehicles.
• Develop and maintain integrations between software applications, PLCs, manufacturing equipment, robotics systems, and enterprise platforms.
• Partner with manufacturing, IT, controls engineers, product engineering, and plant teams to deploy reliable, scalable, and supportable solutions.
• Provide technical leadership on complex integration projects, helping teams resolve issues and deliver solutions on time.
• Improve system reliability, performance, maintainability, and operational efficiency through continuous improvement initiatives.
• Support production-critical systems, including issue response, deployment activities, and operational readiness efforts.
• Contribute to technical standards, documentation, best practices, and mentoring of less experienced engineers.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Professional experience developing, integrating, or supporting software in manufacturing, industrial automation, controls, test systems, or similar technical environments.
• Strong programming experience in C, C++, C#, or related software development languages.
• Significant experience supporting PLC platforms such as Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Studio 5000, RSLogix 5000, or equivalent controls environments.
• Experience integrating software with manufacturing equipment, controls systems, industrial devices, or plant-floor technologies.
• Strong understanding of industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, TCP/IP, and UDP communications.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex issues involving software, controls, networking, hardware, and manufacturing systems.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, engineering, IT, validation, and plant operations.
• Proven ability to lead technical problem solving and drive issues to closure across multiple stakeholders.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with industrial robotics, including programming, troubleshooting, or integration activities.
• Experience supporting industrial vision systems and automated inspection technologies.
• Experience with PC-to-PC, PC-to-PLC, or manufacturing integration platforms such as IDEAi or similar technologies.
• Experience with automotive manufacturing, end-of-line testing, vehicle diagnostics, or manufacturing validation systems.
• Familiarity with vehicle communication protocols such as CAN, UDS, or DoIP.
• Experience with embedded systems, firmware, or hardware-integrated software solutions.
• Familiarity with GitHub, Jira, Visual Studio, or similar software development tools.
• Experience supporting vehicle electrical systems, electrical validation systems, or plant-floor applications.
• Experience supporting production-critical applications in high-availability environments.
• Experience working in assembly plants, manufacturing facilities, or industrial automation environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Work Arrangement
