Job Description

We're seeking an experienced Automation & PLC Engineer to lead the implementation, standardization, and integration of Beckhoff-based control systems across our automation cells. This role also bridges our PLC logic with our ROS 2-based robotics stack , ensuring seamless system behavior, communication, and remote support.

You'll own the PLC-side architecture, from I/O control to motion coordination and system diagnostics. You'll also work closely with our perception, motion planning, and integration teams to create reliable handshakes between ROS 2 and machine-level automation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect, develop, and maintain Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 codebases across all automation cells.
  • Design modular, scalable automation logic using structured text, object-oriented function blocks, and safe state machines.
  • Integrate PLCs with our ROS 2 stack (e.g., via OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or custom middleware), enabling real-time coordination with robotic subsystems.
  • Develop and deploy intuitive HMI interfaces for operators, maintenance, and debug.
  • Configure and manage EtherCAT I/O networks, motion components, and field devices.
  • Enable remote diagnostics, secure access , and data logging from deployed systems.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, vision, and software teams to ensure integrated cell behavior.
  • Support field deployments, issue diagnosis, and system reliability testing.

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years experience in industrial automation, including Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and structured text (ST).
  • Experience building and deploying modular, production-grade PLC code for real-world machinery.
  • Familiarity with ROS 2 concepts and message-passing architectures, or previous experience bridging ROS to PLCs.
  • Strong understanding of industrial fieldbuses (EtherCAT, OPC UA, Modbus, etc.).
  • Competent in HMI design, I/O mapping, and safe system startup/teardown logic.
  • Ability to design for remote access , including secure gateways, remote logging, and system updates.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with ROS 2 client libraries (C++ or Python) and integration patterns.
  • Knowledge of textile automation, robotics, or machine vision systems.
  • Familiarity with InfluxDB, SQL, or cloud telemetry pipelines for industrial data.
  • Experience deploying systems into production environments and supporting field debugging.
