  • Comfortable reading P&IDs, electrical schematics, and other technical drawings
  • Reading proficiency in IEC 61131-3 Structured Text and experience working with at least one major PLC platform (Beckhoff TwinCAT, Siemens TIA Portal, B&R)
  • Experience supporting integrated articulated robots (Kuka, ABB, Staubli, Fanuc)
  • Experience working in a GMP or comparably regulated environment, and comfort operating within change control, deviation, and CAPA processes
  • Must be able and willing to work an off-shift schedule (nights and/or weekends), with occasional travel (<15%)
  • Self-awareness, integrity, authenticity, and a growth mindset

Preferred Skills/Experience
  • Direct production experience with Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and TwinSAFE
  • Experience with at least one major HMI / SCADA platform (Ignition, Wonderware, WinCC)
  • Familiarity with time-series and log tooling (e.g., InfluxDB, Grafana) for equipment diagnostics
  • Familiarity with Git or other source control for navigating code repositories
  • Proficiency in Python or another scripting language for ad-hoc data extraction and analysis
  • Prior experience supporting cell therapy, biotech, semiconductor, or other high-mix, high-stakes automated manufacturing platforms
