Debugging complex issues involving timing, concurrency, hardware interfaces, and industrial protocols
Leading system architecture decisions for control platforms and distributed automation systems
Conducting root‑cause analysis for field issues and implementing long‑term fixes
Collaborating with controls, electrical, and product teams to translate requirements into robust software designs
Mentoring engineers in real‑time programming, PLC development, and industrial best practices

Qualifications:

Strong proficiency in modern C++ for real‑time or embedded systems
Solid experience with Python for automation, tooling, or data processing
Hands‑on experience writing Structured Text for PLCs or industrial controllers
Deep understanding of deterministic execution, concurrency, and hardware‑software interaction
Experience with industrial protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, or PROFINET
Proven ability to lead complex engineering efforts while contributing significant hands‑on code
Strong debugging skills across software, hardware, and network layers
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with motion control, robotics, or process automation
Familiarity with embedded Linux, RTOS environments, or microcontroller development
Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity standards or best practices
