• Select, configure, and integrate multi-axis servo motors, stepper motors, and VFDs.
• Develop complex control logic, safety interlocks, precise motion profiles (e.g., electronic camming, gearing), and system sequences.
• Commission, troubleshoot, and fine-tune machine motion parameters on-site for optimal speed and positioning accuracy.
• Collaborate with mechanical design engineers, production teams, and customers to optimize machine cycle times.
• Prepare technical documentation, wiring diagrams, motion calculation sheets, and user manuals.
• Provide training and technical support for operators and maintenance teams.

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong expertise in advanced motion control systems, closed-loop servo tuning, and automation hardware.
• Hands-on proficiency in PLC programming with a strong emphasis on Structured Text (STL) for handling complex algorithms and data structures.
• Experience with automated motion control libraries, PLCopen motion function blocks, and kinematics.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, Modbus, ProfiNet, EtherCAT, etc.).
• Ability to analyze mechanical and electrical aspects of SPMs for smooth integration of high-speed automation.
• Problem-solving mindset with strong debugging, tracing, and troubleshooting skills in text-based code.
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
