  • Basic familiarity with frontend technologies (HTML, JavaScript, CSS) and at least one modern framework (e.g., React, Angular, Svelte) for full-stack integration
  • Proficiency in rigorous software development practices, including version control, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging
  • Excellent interpersonal communication skills and a demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives from concept to production
  • Familiarity with controls engineering concepts, manufacturing processes, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Hands-on experience with Ignition and MES systems is a plus
