  • Applied programming aptitude (clean style, basic algorithms/complexity, disciplined documentation).

  • Proficiency in one or more languages: C/C++/C#/Python/Java/JavaScript/Ruby .

  • Comfort with Linux/Windows command line , spreadsheets/data normalization, and Boolean logic.

  • Problem‑isolation mindset, pragmatism (seek resolution over perfection), and clear communication with teams & customers.

  • Willingness to write organized, well‑documented code and learn new stacks quickly.

Nice to Have (Preferred)

  • PLC/HMI/Motion: IEC 61131‑3 (Structured Text & Ladder); CoDeSys/SoMachine on Schneider & Wago ; Rockwell/Allen‑Bradley ; Mitsubishi (FX/A/Q/iQ); HMI for Schneider (Proface), Red Lion, Mitsubishi, PanelView ; SoftMotion; servo systems.

  • Standards & Schematics: ANSI Y32.2/IEEE & IEC electrical symbols; ANSI/ISA S5.1 P&IDs; working knowledge of UL508A & NFPA 79 .

  • Networks: Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, CANopen, J1939.

  • Commissioning: Startup/troubleshooting of automation systems; calm, customer‑facing guidance.

  • Experience: 5+ years strongly preferred for immediate impact and top‑of‑band compensation.

  • Travel is mostly within driving distance; startups are typically day trips and total travel is generally < 15% .
