Job description

Job Role:

As the Automation Engineer, you will serve as an expert in the domain of robotics automation engineering, PLC programming and be involved in embedded system firmware development.

Your responsibilities will encompass the entire development lifecycle, from requirement definition and conceptualization to commissioning and troubleshooting, both on-site and remotely.

In addition, you will function as the architect for our existing product and software, collaboratively contributing to the development of cutting-edge robotic and machine prototypes and simulations. Collaboration with the Operations Team during commissioning processes is an integral aspect of this role.

Responsibilities:

• Robotics Engineering: Your duties will involve programming articulated robots, engaging with physical robots and their simulation, and utilizing various robot simulation tools to create multi-robot trajectories.
• Code Development: You will be responsible for programming and parameterizing PLCs for our machines and robots, utilizing programming languages such as ST and Ladder Logic. Close collaboration with motion design and control for industrial drives and servos is expected. You will also be responsible for developing embedded firmware based on project requirements on our custom hardware system.
• Testing and Product Development: Your role will include the development of bug fixes and new automation projects, as well as active participation in the development, implementation, and testing of new product prototypes.
• Commissioning and Troubleshooting: As a proactive team player role, you will coordinate all automation-related commissioning and PLC tasks at customer locations. For the firmware portion, you will need to work with teammates from other disciplines on system bring-up and design validation.
• Communication and Connection: Creating communication pathways to online or edge devices using EtherCAT, OPC, Eip, Modbus, Modbus/TCP, and socket connections. Besides that, you also will deal with other embedded system-related protocols such as SPI, I2C, CAN Bus and Modbus/RTU.

Requirements:

• 2 to 3 years of professional experience in a similar role, preferably within a product-focused automation or robotics company.
• Demonstrated proficiency in programming articulated robots, with a preference for experience with ABB robots and robot simulation using Robot studio.
• Understanding of robot coordinates.
• PLC, HMI programming experience ideally Siemens.
• Strong grasp of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
• Hold an academic degree in Automation, Electrical, Mechatronics, or an equivalent field of study.
• Familiar with STM32 family controller and RTOS is a plus.
