Project details : Workload increasing due to new projects.

Project background : We need Control Software Designers specialized in AB PLC.

"AB PLC" refers to a programmable logic controller (PLC) made by Allen-Bradley, which is a brand under Rockwell Automation.

Allen-Bradley PLCs are widely used in industrial automation for controlling machines and processes. They receive inputs from sensors, process the data, and control outputs such as motors, valves, and lights based on the programmed instructions.

Size of the team : 10 Controls Software Designers per project

Day-to-day tasks

What is the 9am-5pm routine?

  • Programming : Complete understanding of Rockwell or Siemens Programming environments. Lead and complete code reviews. Capable of coding unique and complex applications from scratch.
  • Integration : Debug and commission medium to large projects with multiple cells. Troubleshoot complex technical issues utilizing internal and external resources as needed.
  • Communication : Resolve project issues directly with Project Management and other department leads. Communicate solutions, project status, escalations, and project needs.
  • Decision Making : Make high-level decisions around project planning and schedule. Assign tasks to team members clearly and with deadlines. Estimate labor and schedule for a cell.
  • Problem Solving : Coach others on the ABM tools and how to root cause complex issues.
