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: 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
This position is open to all candidates.
