TL;DR · PLC Development Engineer

As a PLC Development Engineer, you will join a multidisciplinary engineering team to design, implement, and validate industrial automation and control systems for advanced EUV lithography platforms. You will be responsible for developing software and firmware for Siemens PLC systems, selecting hardware architectures, and creating test benches or simulation environments to validate code before deployment. The role involves collaborating with system architects and electrical engineers to translate requirements into robust solutions while managing technical documentation and troubleshooting electronic systems at the module level. Key technical requirements include proficiency in TIA Portal, PLCSIM, HMI, SIMIT, and programming languages such as LAD, SCL, FBD, and STL. You will also implement PID control loops and serial communications to solve complex engineering challenges within the high-precision semiconductor manufacturing domain.

What you'll do

  • Design software and firmware for Siemens PLC systems to meet specific performance, cost, and schedule requirements.
  • Translate complex system requirements into robust control solutions and technical specifications.
  • Select and evaluate hardware architectures and components for high-precision industrial automation systems.
  • Develop and maintain PLC test benches and simulation environments to validate software before deployment.
  • Perform troubleshooting, validation, and qualification activities for integrated electronic systems at the module and system level.
  • Implement PID control loops and manage serial communications within industrial control architectures.
  • Create technical documentation and provide project status updates to engineering leadership.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives and contribute to technical roadmaps for new technologies.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • At least 5 years of experience designing PLC-based industrial automation and control systems.
  • Experience programming Siemens PLCs using TIA Portal, PLCSIM, HMI, and other Siemens tools.
  • Experience with the Siemens SIMIT simulation platform and PLC validation methodologies.
  • Proficiency in LAD, SCL, FBD, and STL programming languages.
  • Experience implementing PID control loops, serial communications, and industrial control architectures.
  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting electronic systems at the module and system level.
  • Legal authorization to access controlled technology as defined in U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
