3rd Shift: Sunday 8:15PM - 5:30AM Monday-Thursday 11:45PM - 5:30AM

Core Responsibilities

• PLC & Motion Control:Develop and optimize modular control code usingStructured Text (ST)inTwinCAT 3.
• Robotic Programming:
• Program and simulateABBindustrial arms usingRAPIDandRobotStudio.
• Integrate and scriptMecademicrobots for high-accuracy handling of sensitive electronics (e.g. USB/HDMI insertion).
• System Architecture:Design and maintainEtherCATnetwork topologies to synchronize robots sensors and machine vision.
• Integration:Utilize TwinCAT libraries to connect machine controllers directly with CTDIs Warehouse Management System (WMS) for real-time data logging.
• Troubleshooting:Perform deep-dive diagnostics on electro-mechanical systems identifying root causes for latency or precision drift.
• Continuous Improvement:Reduce cycle times and improve first-pass yield on Multi-Unit Testers through path optimization and code efficiency.
