Job description

InnoTECH Staffing is looking to hire a fulltime/permanent Senior Automation Controls Engineer for an exciting and well funded stealth mode robotics start-up in Waltham, MA.  This requires being onsite 5 days a week in the lab in Waltham. 
There is no relocation or sponsorship at this time.

Summary:
The company is a cutting-edge Series A company focused on revolutionizing the automotive robotics  space. The team consists of experienced robotic, industrial automation, and automotive professionals  with deep relationships and a distribution network across the U.S. We have strategic backing from  long-term capital and the support to build something truly amazing. Come join our team and help us  define the future of automotive robotics!

This engineer will have experience in designing control systems and programming PLCs to produce  coordinated multi-axis motion in a mechanical system which communicates with an IPC (Industrial PC)  for various integrated functionality. They will also have experience taking sensor data into the PLC and  using that to make decisions (e.g. PLC gets encoder data showing a position and uses that to shift a
motor to a new position). This engineer can also acquire data from sensors and save it.

Requirements
Note: Direct robotics or automation experience is a must have.
BS or MS in Robotic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related  engineering field.
Minimum of 4 years applicable professional experience in the robotics or automation industry

Skills:
Using IPC/PLCs to control multi-axis motion and handling digital and analog IO, preferably with  Ethernet/IP or OPC UA.
Selecting, tuning, and integrating motors, drives, sensors, and actuators for automation,  robotics, and industrial applications
Proficient at working with sensor systems and preserving signal integrity, such as with  accelerometers, strain gauges, load cells, IMUs, limit switches, proximity sensors, and encoders.
Experience with complex dynamic simulation software or real-time control software, as  applicable to advanced G&C in industrial automation.
Integrate and document advanced autonomy, AI/ML, G&C, and optimization algorithms into  complex high-fidelity simulations and hardware systems
Experience incorporating COTS packages and components in the automation controls and  designs.
Efficient programming skills (2+ years, proficiency in MATLAB,, C++, C#, Python, or Java)
Creating schematics, wiring diagrams, and system block diagrams in terms of explaining of timing  and cycle time aspects of mechanical designs
Understanding of network and communication interfaces such as Ethernet/IP, Ether CAT, CAN, or  Modbus TCP
Understanding of local and remote HMI and recipe management, especially using PLCs such as  Allen-Bradley, Yaskawa, Galil, Animatics, etc.
Knowledge of common safety circuits and safety system requirements in automation, robotics,  and industrial applications.
Management of requirements and design needs with external domestic and international  vendors and experts in component selection and interconnections
Team-based work ethic and excellent collaborator
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Previous use of source code control, defect/issue tracking and task management systems.

Compensation includes base salary, bonus, equity and full benefits.
