Description

To serve as the "brain" of our automated solutions by developing high-performance control software. You will be responsible for the sophisticated logic, path planning, and synchronization of Robotic arms and Multi-axis Motion Control systems, ensuring they operate with surgical precision and safety. Duties and Responsibilities 1. Robotics & Motion Orchestration Kinematics & Path Planning: Program and optimize complex robotic trajectories and coordinate motion across multiple axes (Servos, VFDs, and Actuators). Robot Integration: Handle the software-level integration of industrial robots (e.g., FANUC, KUKA, or Universal Robots) into the master machine sequence. Synchronization: Develop high-speed electronic gearing, camming, and interpolation logic to sync robotics with peripheral hardware like heaters and conveyors. 2. PLC Logic & Software Architecture State Machine Development: Design robust, modular control logic using IEC 61131-3 standards (Structured Text, Ladder, Function Block). Advanced Process Control: Implement PID loops and specialized algorithms for high-power thermal systems and precision motion. 3. Safety & Regulatory Logic Functional Safety (SIL): Program Safety PLCs to execute the mitigation strategies identified in the Safety Risk Failure Analysis (FMEA). Compliance: Ensure all motion and robotic software routines comply with CE and UL personnel safety standards. 4. Interface & Communication HMI/SCADA: Create intuitive user interfaces that provide real-time visualization of robotic status, motion diagnostics, and alarm history. Industrial Networking: Configure low-latency communication protocols (e.g., EtherCAT, Profinet IRT, EtherNet/IP) for real-time motion feedback. 5. Multidisciplinary Commissioning The Handshake: Take ownership of the system once the Hardware Engineer completes I/O mapping; perform final tuning of servo loops and robotic cycles. Requirements Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or Automation. Experience: 5+ years in a multidisciplinary environment, specifically focusing on robotic cells and complex motion systems. Technical Expertise: Proficient in motion control software (e.g., Rockwell Beckhoff, Siemens) and robotic programming environments. Problem Solving: Expert at debugging intermittent "ghost" issues in high-speed, multi-axis automated machines.

Responsibilities
