  • Document program changes, commissioning results, and operational procedures to support repeatability and maintain quality.

Required Qualifications
  • Experience programming and debugging PLC-based control systems in an industrial or automation environment.

  • Strong understanding of control system concepts, including sequencing, interlocks, fault handling, and I/O mapping.

  • Ability to read and interpret electrical/control documentation and translate requirements into working logic.

  • Proven troubleshooting skills, including structured root-cause analysis of logic, wiring/I/O behavior, and system interactions.

  • Effective communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally in a project setting.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting commissioning and startup activities, including coordinating with field teams and addressing real-world machine behavior.

  • Familiarity with industrial networking and communications between control systems and devices.

  • Experience with version control practices and maintaining configuration consistency across environments.
