Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and program PLC control logic for custom automated machinery, test stands, and balancing equipment.
  • Develop, validate, and deploy controls software in compliance with GCCS (Global Common Controls Software / GCCS-2) standards for GM and other automotive OEM programs.
  • Read and interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings to develop control strategies.
  • Program, configure, and troubleshoot Allen-Bradley (Rockwell) and/or Siemens PLC platforms, HMIs, and related industrial networks.
  • Perform on-site and in-house debugging, testing, and commissioning of PLC/HMI software on new and retrofit equipment.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers throughout the design, build, and runoff phases of a project.
  • Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), including customer runoffs at our facilities and customer facilities.
  • Develop and maintain documentation, including I/O lists, program backups, functional descriptions, and revision histories.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve controls issues during startup, commissioning, and warranty support, including occasional travel to customer sites.
  • Ensure all controls work complies with applicable safety standards (e.g., NFPA 79, RIA/ANSI robotic safety standards) and customer-specific engineering standards.

Required Qualifications

  • GCCS (Global Common Controls Software / GCCS-2) certification is required.
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Engineering Technology, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Minimum 3-5 years of hands-on PLC programming experience in an industrial automation, automotive tooling, or machine building environment.
  • Proficiency programming Allen-Bradley (RSLogix 5000 / Studio 5000) and/or Siemens (TIA Portal) PLC platforms.
  • Experience with HMI development (FactoryTalk View, WinCC, or similar).
  • Working knowledge of industrial networks (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, DeviceNet) and robot integration (Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, or similar) is a plus.
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and troubleshoot control systems down to the component level.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with customers during runoff and commissioning.
  • Willingness to travel domestically (and occasionally internationally) for equipment commissioning and startup support, as needed.
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States.

You should be proficient in:

  • PLC Troubleshooting Skills
  • Equipment Troubleshooting
