  • ✈️ Run field trials, validation and training at customer sites

You're a great fit if you have:

  • Significant Rockwell from-scratch programming background - Siemens a strong bonus
  • PLC and motion control depth with structured text; C++/.NET familiarity a plus
  • Hands-on troubleshooting across PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, VFDs, instrumentation and 480VAC
  • Safety standards knowledge - ISO 13849, IEC 60204, NFPA 79, SISTEMA
  • Packaging or industrial machinery OEM experience - machine builds, not plant maintenance
  • 5+ years in automation/control systems, or a BSEE

Salary range: Salary range: $113k - 123k
