Controls Engineer, PLC Programming
Role Scope
You’ve written and tested PLC programs for mechanical equipment, chillers, air handlers, pumps, or similar, and watched them run on real hardware, not only in simulation.
You’ve programmed across more than one PLC platform, Siemens, Codesys, or virtualized environments, and you don’t treat one vendor’s toolchain as the boundary of what’s possible.
You’ve turned a sequence of operations into working PLC code, and you’ve caught the gaps and contradictions in an SOO before they reached the controller.
You’ve wired PLCs, IO, and sensors yourself, and you’ve traced a fault down to the physical layer when a program that looked right on screen misbehaved on the bench.
You write structured, reusable code that the next engineer can read, so the templates you build get reused rather than rewritten.
You test against failure and edge cases, not just the expected path, and you find the problems in the lab instead of in a running data center.
What We're Looking For
Bonus: Data center mechanical systems (chiller plants, CRAH/CRAC, fan wall units).
Structured Text and the IEC 61131-3 languages.
BMS or SCADA integration over BACnet and Modbus.
Hardware-in-the-loop or virtualized PLC testing.
