Description

Key Responsibilities

• Develop software applications on various Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platforms utilizing IEC-61131 programming languages such as Structured Text, Function Block Diagrams, and Ladder Logic.
• Configure, program, and test PLC applications to ensure the safe and efficient operation of rotating machinery and process control systems.
• Participate in all phases of the product development lifecycle, including algorithm design, software development, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and commissioning.
• Utilize engineering simulation tools (e.g., SimSci) and custom tools to evaluate control strategies, performance, and system robustness.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, product management, and field services, to develop tailored control solutions.
• Maintain current knowledge of control system technologies, industry standards, and emerging trends to inform development strategies.
• Support technical documentation, testing procedures, and compliance activities related to control system products.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Control Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in control system design, PLC/HMI programming, and commissioning within industrial automation, especially for turbo or rotating machinery.
• Proven experience with PLC/Client programming using IEC-61131 languages (Ladder Logic, Function Block Diagram, Structured Text, etc.) on platforms such as Allen Bradley RS Logix/Studio 5000, Triconex Tri-Station, Schneider Electric EcoStruxure, Siemens Step 7, or Emerson Client/Client Fanuc Proficy.
• Experience with distributed control systems (DCS) configuration and programming is a plus.

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of control system architecture, PLC programming, and automation hardware.
• Ability to develop and troubleshoot control algorithms and software for complex machinery and process applications.
• Familiarity with engineering simulation tools such as SimSci or equivalent.
• Programming proficiency in text-based languages such as C, HTML, or similar is a plus.
• Ability to interpret and develop technical documentation, schematics, and control logic diagrams
