• Working knowledge of GitHub PR workflows and AI-assisted development platforms.
• Ability to review and validate AI-generated output prior to hardware implementation.
• Strong diagnostic skills, clear English communication, and comfort working in dynamic lab/factory settings.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain PLC software for automation and test systems.
• Build UI/UX interfaces for operators, engineers, and internal users.
• Develop algorithms for control logic, automation sequencing, data handling, and system optimisation.
• Use OpenAI Codex or similar AI coding tools to accelerate development, debugging, refactoring, and documentation.
• Review and validate AI-generated code before use.
• Use GitHub for version control, branches, commits, pull requests, code reviews, and change tracking.
• Perform PRV activities, including pull request review, peer review, production readiness validation, test evidence review, and release checks.
• Integrate PLC software with upper-layer software using protocols such as ADS, OPC UA, TCP/IP, Modbus, or similar.
• Support system bring-up, debugging, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
• Maintain proper documentation, including software versions, IO mapping, test procedures, validation results, and change history.
• Work closely with mechanical, thermal, electrical, controls, and software teams.
