Develop and maintain Siemens PLC software using TIA Portal, writing code that is structured, readable, and built to be handed over.
Create and manage electrical schematics in EPLAN Electric P8, ensuring plans are complete, accurate, and aligned with what the build and deployment teams actually need.
Own PLC version control workflows
establishing and maintaining the practices that keep automation software traceable and recoverable.
Set up communication protocols including IO-Link, Profisafe, and Profinet, and interface with external controllers such as VFDs, remote I/O, and IO-Link devices.
Support R&D on automation and hardware architecture decisions for robotic cells, contributing from the controls and electrical perspective early in the design process.
Commission and troubleshoot cells during delivery and deployment, including on-site at customer facilities.
Lead or support Factory Acceptance Tests, ensuring cells meet specification before handoff.
Diagnose and resolve customer hardware issues, working closely with Forward Deploy and Operational Support Engineers in the field.

Siemens certifications in PLC programming or TIA Portal.
Safety certifications or formal training in functional safety.
Knowledge of functional safety standards beyond the minimum required by the role.
Familiarity with robot controllers and how they interface with PLC-based control architectures.

High exposure: Work across the full development-to-delivery lifecycle, collaborating directly with mechanical, safety, software, and product teams on systems that reach live production environments.
Career acceleration: Build breadth across both R&D and deployment in a fast-moving robotics company
the kind of exposure that takes years to accumulate at a larger organisation.
Real impact: The reliability of every cell we ship depends on the quality of the controls and electrical work underneath it. That's yours to own.
