Automation Engineer

Open 15d

Summary

Build next-gen industrial control systems and tooling to program factories like software, using PLC/DCS experience with Codesys, TIA, or TwinCAT.

What you'll do

  • Help us rethink how factories are programmed—like software, not like legacy PLCs or configuration tools.
  • Build the next generation of industrial control systems across runtime, tooling, IDE, communication, and web interfaces.

About you

  • You're genuinely excited by the idea of reinventing how the physical world is programmed.
  • You care about computers, programming languages, systems, or developer tools—not just building ordinary apps.
  • You want to work on something fundamental, ambitious, and deeply technical.

What we're looking for

  • Must have designed interesting PLC/DCS programs, with hands-on experience in at least one of Codesys, TIA, or TwinCAT.
  • Must have designed interesting production lines or process workflows.
  • Strong programming fundamentals and clear curiosity about how systems really work.
  • Willingness to explore cross-layer problems spanning software, control, communication, and tooling.
  • Bonus: Exposure to RTOS, serial communication, EtherCAT, PLCs, compilers, IDEs, or web development.
