PLC & Motion Control Engineer

Are you passionate about building machines that operate with precision, determinism, and intelligence? We are looking for a PLC & Motion Control Firmware Engineer to lead the development of advanced motion control software for complex electromechanical systems. In this role, you will work across real-time control, firmware, and hardware, taking ownership of motion behavior from low-level drive interfaces to full machine performance. You will collaborate closely with motion architects, hardware engineers, system engineers, and QA teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and high-performance motion solutions across multiple product generations. This position offers strong technical ownership and a growth path toward technical leadership and team management. Responsibilities Motion Control & PLC Development Design and implement PLC-based motion control software for real-time machine systems Develop motion capabilities including servo control, kinematics, and multi-axis synchronization Own motion behavior of assigned subsystems, ensuring safe, deterministic, and high-performance operation Develop low-level interfaces to drives, sensors, I/O modules, and custom hardware Embedded & Real-Time Software Develop and maintain real-time software using IEC 61131-3 Structured Text and embedded C/C++ Optimize execution timing and real-time performance within PLC runtimes Support integration with industrial communication protocols and hardware interfaces System Integration & Technical Leadership Lead HW/SW bring-up and integration of new motion platforms Debug complex motion, synchronization, and timing issues Translate system requirements into robust motion control solutions Drive architectural improvements, feature enhancements, and code refactoring Serve as a technical focal point for motion and PLC domains Mentor engineers and support future team leadership activities Requirements Required BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or related field 7+ years of hands-on experience in PLC and motion control development Strong background in real-time and embedded software development Experience debugging motion systems and HW/SW integration issues Proficiency in Structured Text and embedded C/C++ Proven technical leadership and ownership capabilities Advantage Experience with industrial PLC platforms such as B&R or Beckhoff Knowledge of multi-axis motion control and servo systems Experience with RTOS or real-time PLC runtimes Familiarity with Linux or embedded Linux environments Python experience for automation, diagnostics, or tooling Exposure to AI-driven approaches for motion diagnostics, analytics, or optimization
