As the team's controls authority, you will develop new and improved processes using theoretical and practical engineering. You will architect, write, and debug PLC ladder logic/IPC SW, focusing on organized, structured, maintainable, and reusable code. You will implement control-reliable safety systems (ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high-volume manufacturing equipment. You will also generate simple HMI screens for sophisticated machinery and provide sufficient feedback for fixing. Responsibilities include design for manufacturability, working from concept to repeat manufacturing, building RFQs, prioritizing multi-functional reviews, engaging machine suppliers, and performing failure/data analysis using DOE and Six Sigma principles.
