• 5+ years of experience with industrial control systems and/or embedded control systems
• 5+ years of experience in producing production quality control software
• Experience with modern software development lifecycle practices (CI/CD, git version control, unit testing, integration testing, etc)
• Proficiency with python
• Proficiency with at least one real-time control language (c++, SCL/ST, rust, etc)

Bonus points for:

• Experience with industrial protocols (e.g. EtherCat, Profinet, Modbus, etc)
• Experience developing Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for industrial or scientific equipment
• Familiarity with industrial control platforms (e.g. Beckhoff TwinCat)
• Familiarity with Linux
• Familiarity with general networking (IP/UDP)

Must-have Requirements:

• Perform activities such as typing, standing, sitting, etc. for extended periods of time
• Dedication to safety to mitigate industrial hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead (Pb), high voltage, high current, pressure systems, and cryogenics
• Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
