Salary:£35,000 - £45,000

Employment type: Permanent, Full time

A specialist engineering manufacturer is looking for a Control and Automation Engineer to develop, improve and support the control systems used across its expanding product range.

This is a varied engineering role combining controls hardware, software development, user-interface design and system integration. You will work on new product development while also helping modernise and support existing and legacy control systems.

The company is open-minded regarding your technical background. You could come from PLC automation, embedded systems, industrial software or a combination of these areas.

The role will include:

• Designing control and automation systems for new products
• Developing software applications, HMIs and user interfaces
• Specifying PLCs, motor controllers, control hardware and electronic components
• Integrating controls, software and hardware into complete products
• Working with suppliers and subcontractors on components, firmware and software
• Supporting and troubleshooting existing and legacy control systems
• Contributing to design reviews, project plans and technical documentation
• Working closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics and Manufacturing teams
• Helping improve engineering processes, documentation and product compliance
• Investigating new technologies, platforms and development tools

We're looking for experience in some of the following areas:

• PLCs, soft PLCs, HMIs or industrial control systems
• CODESYS or IEC (phone number removed) Structured Text
• Python, C, C#, JavaScript, HTML or CSS
• PC-based or web-based control applications
• Microprocessors, electronics or single-board computers
• Motor controllers, instrumentation or interface hardware
• Software version control
• Controls integration within manufactured equipment or machinery

You do not need to have worked with every technology listed. The most important qualities are broad technical curiosity, a methodical approach and the ability to develop practical, reliable systems within a multidisciplinary engineering environment.

This would suit a Control Systems Engineer, Automation Engineer, Software and Controls Engineer or technically versatile engineer who enjoys working across hardware and software rather than being restricted to one platform.
