Motion ControlSoftware Programmer

Title: Automation Software Technician/Engineer

Shift: 1st Shift | Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Salary: $75,000 - $90,000 per year; dependent on experience

This position exists to design and deploy multi-axis machine control software that drives high‑precision automated systems. Our client relies on this role to bridge the gap between software logic and physical machinery, ensuring seamless commissioning, motion synchronization, and safety compliance.

• Develop and maintain high‑performance motion code to coordinate multi‑axis systems for servos, steppers, and VFDs
• Synchronize peripheral sensors and actuators with dynamic motion profiles through I/O interfacing
• Perform PID loop tuning and vibration filtering to optimize machine stability
• Resolve mechanical, electrical, and software issues during the development and deployment phases
• Execute on‑site installation and machine startup at client facilities to ensure software stability
• Implement machine safety protocols including E‑stops, light curtains, and safety‑rated logic
• Maintain clean, well‑commented code and structured project documentation for all automation sequences
• Integrate industrial networking protocols to facilitate communication between system components
• Partner with mechanical engineers and project managers to meet design specifications and deadlines
• Troubleshoot physical hardware‑software interfaces directly on the production floor

• Possess 3 to 5 years of experience in an automation environment specifically in motion control or robotics
• Hold a degree or technical certification in Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• Demonstrate expertise in CODESYS (IEC 61131‑3) and proprietary motion programming environments
• Exhibit proficiency with motion controllers and drives from manufacturers like Trio, Yaskawa, or Kollmorgen
• Read and interpret complex electrical schematics and mechanical drawings with high accuracy
• Apply a strong understanding of machine safety standards and safety‑rated logic implementation
• Show familiarity with .NET programming and industrial vision system integration
• Understand pneumatic systems including valves and cylinders as they relate to machine control
• Manage projects independently from initial concept through final commissioning
• Flourish in a team‑based environment that requires constant collaboration across departments

If you are a driven, hands‑on problem solver with a passion for automation, we would like to hear from you.
