Staff Engineer, Controls and Software

• Work closely with R&D team to outline interfaces and requirements for equipment and software operation for equipment control • Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and balance product specifications, operational control requirements, layout complexity, cost, quality, and lead time limits • Design, modify, and approve electrical schematics for industrial and test equipment (compliant with NFPA79/NEC/UL508A standards) • Create machine interactions with plant-wide SCADA to communicate product acceptability, machine status, and operational variables • Write, and debug PLC structured text with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable, and reusable. PLC code will interact with subsystems and 3rd party equipment • Implement (ANSI/ RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding industrial equipment • Generate aesthetically simple HMI screens for complex machinery while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting • Debug and optimize automated operations to maximize cycle time, improve availability, and yield • Work with external software contractors to develop the control systems for internal tools (Define requirements, manage priorities, drive testing and implementation plans)

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally • Perform activities such as stooping, climbing, standing, sitting for extended periods of time • Willingness to travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call occasionally • Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
