Key Responsibilities

• Development & Maintenance:
• Design, code, test, and maintain high-performance, reliable C++ applications that run on factory controllers and embedded systems as part of the PanaCIM ecosystem.
• Controller Application Development:
• Work on software modules controlling shop floor machines such as SMT equipment, handling real-time data acquisition, control logic, and equipment interfacing.
• Integration & Communication:
• Develop communication interfaces and protocols to integrate MES applications with hardware controllers and factory automation devices.
• Performance & Reliability:
• Optimize C++ code to meet real-time performance requirements and ensure robust operation in industrial environments.
• Debugging & Troubleshooting:
• Identify and fix defects, perform root cause analysis, and support controller software under production conditions.
• Collaboration:
• Work closely with manufacturing engineers, system integrators, and other software teams including .NET, Node.js, and database teams, to ensure seamless integration within the heterogeneous PanaCIM environment.
• Documentation:
• Create and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, test plans, and interface descriptions for controller modules.
• Cross-Platform Environment:
• Manage application deployment and support across heterogeneous operating systems commonly used in factory environments, such as Windows and Linux (ubuntu).
