Sr. Controls Software Developer

We’re looking for a Sr. Controls Software Developer with 5-7 years of experience, to join our growing

team in Mississauga, ON. Reporting to the Software Team Manager, you’ll be responsible for designing

and implementing software for advanced automotive testing equipment used in high-volume production

environments.

This role is hands-on, fast-paced, and highly technical. You’ll work with a wide range of hardware and

communication protocols—from CAN bus and PLCs to custom electronics and industrial sensors. You’ll

collaborate closely with engineering, electrical, and integration teams to ensure our systems meet the

demanding standards of the automotive industry.

This role is best suited for a highly skilled, technically focused individual who thrives in a structured

environment with clear expectations and high standards for quality. Success in this position requires

strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a self-disciplined, results-driven mindset. While

the work pace is fast, accuracy and adherence to established processes are never compromised.

Communication tends to be task-focused and rooted in technical details, but effective teamwork and

collaboration remain essential to achieving shared goals and overall success.

This role is on-site and requires 25% travel to customer locations in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico for

commissioning and integration. This is a full-time position (Monday to Friday 9 : 00-5 : 30) with occasional

overtime as needed. You must be flexible with working overtime.
