PLC Programmer

We are seeking an experienced Automation & Controls Engineer to support advanced manufacturing operations within a high-volume production environment. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing, commissioning, and optimizing industrial automation systems that support complex assembly and material movement processes.

• Strong experience programming and troubleshooting Siemens PLC platforms, particularly within the TIA Portal environment.
• Hands-on expertise with modern Siemens control systems, including safety-integrated solutions.
• Background working on automated manufacturing equipment within industries such as battery technology, electric vehicles, electronics, automotive, or other advanced production sectors.
• Experience with conveyor systems, automated transfer mechanisms, lifts, shuttles, and related material handling equipment.
• Knowledge of motion control systems, including servo drives, positioning applications, axis synchronization, and performance tuning.
• Familiarity with Siemens drive technologies and associated commissioning tools.
• Experience implementing and validating machine safety functions and safety-related control architectures.
• Understanding of industrial communication protocols and safe motion technologies.
• Ability to develop, modify, and troubleshoot HMI applications.
• Proven track record in commissioning equipment, resolving production issues, supporting operational teams, and driving efficiency improvements.

• Previous involvement in large-scale manufacturing or Gigafactory-style production environments.
• Exposure to battery cell, module, or pack assembly operations and associated testing processes.
• Experience integrating automation systems with manufacturing execution systems (MES), traceability platforms, or production databases.
• Knowledge of automated quality inspection, joining, fastening, laser, welding, or testing equipment.
• Participation in machine acceptance testing, commissioning validation, or production ramp-up activities.
• Familiarity with manufacturing data collection, reporting, and operational analytics.

The ideal candidate will combine strong PLC and motion-control expertise with a practical, hands-on approach to commissioning and production support. You should be comfortable working in fast-paced manufacturing environments, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and driving continuous improvement initiatives across automated production systems.
