  • Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and OPC UA
  • Experience with motion control, servo systems, and safety-rated automation components
  • Ability to read and create electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings
  • Experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments such as medical, pharmaceutical, or waste processing is highly desirable
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams
  • Ability to work independently and manage projects with multiple stakeholders and vendors
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required

Why Join Daniels?
