Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of controls/automation experience, with multiple projects completed through the full project life cycle.
  • Advanced experience with PLC programming, HMI development and industrial robot programming.
  • Strong understanding of electrical and pneumatic schematics, safety systems and motion control including VFDs, servos and auxiliary robot axes.
  • Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills across controls, wiring, program execution and robotics.
  • Ability to execute a project independently while communicating effectively with project teams, customers, vendors and other engineers.
  • Willing to travel approximately 10% - 20%.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, or related field preferred.

Why Axis:

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
