  • Implement and test routine PLC logic, HMI screen, tag, recipe, and parameter improvements/changes within an agreed scope; escalate larger design changes as needed.
  • Document the reason for each change, its approval, the version installed, test results, and the updated as-is code or screen record.
  • Read electrical drawings and controls documentation to support troubleshooting, then update affected I/O lists and controls records after changes.
  • Coordinate change windows and return-to-service checks with the Controls Engineer and production team.
  • Support the two electrical Controls Technicians with code-level diagnosis while drawing on their field wiring and instrumentation expertise.

  • Ability to use a digital multimeter and other electrical troubleshooting tools
  • Soldering and wiring

Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.

Preferred qualifications:

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.
