What you will do
Before you start writing PLC code, it’s important to create functional and safety documents, like a Functional Design Specification (FDS) and a Safety Requirement Specification (SRS). These documents outline how the system will operate and needs client approval before you proceed with programming. Therefore, as an Automation Engineer, it’s essential that you excel at clearly and accurately documenting the steps in the software design process for industrial automation.
As an Automation Engineer, managing time and deadlines can be challenging. On average, you’ll work on 3 to 4 projects simultaneously, while also handling internal questions as they arise. This means you need to work independently and thrive in dynamic and sometimes demanding situations.
This Automation Engineer role focuses on PLC programming, SCADA system integration, and HMI development.
Lastly, you’ll assist with software integration and ensure everything runs smoothly during commissioning. This requires flexibility and a proactive mindset but also offers the opportunity to explore new environments.
What you excel at
- Programming PLC, SCADA & HMI systems
- Drafting functional and safety documents
- Testing and commissioning the developed software in real-world scenarios
- Reviewing electrical schemes
What we expect from you
- A completed Higher Professional Education (HBO) degree or an MBO 4 degree with relevant work experience
- Affinity with systems like Siemens, B&R, Codesys, and Danfoss Plus+1
- Understanding of industrial networks such as CANbus, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet/IP
- Experience with Python and programming in C is a plus
