TL;DR · PLC Development Engineer

The PLC Development Engineer joins a multidisciplinary engineering team within the Development & Engineering organization to design, implement, and validate industrial automation and control systems for advanced EUV lithography platforms. This role involves developing software and firmware for Siemens PLC systems, defining system specifications, and selecting hardware architectures for high-precision semiconductor manufacturing systems. Key responsibilities include creating PLC test benches, simulation environments, and troubleshooting electronic systems at the module and system levels. Candidates must possess experience with Siemens TIA Portal, PLCSIM, HMI, and SIMIT, along with proficiency in LAD, SCL, FBD, and STL programming languages. The position requires implementing PID control loops and serial communications to solve complex technical challenges in next-generation lithography equipment, ensuring reliable and serviceable automation solutions meet demanding performance and quality requirements.

What you'll do

  • Design software and firmware for Siemens PLC systems to meet specific system requirements and cost targets.
  • Translate high-level system requirements into robust, reliable industrial automation and control solutions.
  • Select and evaluate hardware architectures and components for complex, high-precision semiconductor manufacturing systems.
  • Develop and maintain PLC test benches and simulation environments to validate software before deployment.
  • Support system integration, troubleshooting, and qualification activities for EUV lithography platforms.
  • Provide accurate project status updates and technical documentation to engineering leadership.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives and promote best practices in PLC design and industrial automation.

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 related Siemens tools.
  • Experience with Siemens SIMIT simulation platform and PLC validation methodologies.
  • Proficiency with 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.
  • Experience with auto-generated PLC code from Simulink models (preferred).
