Robotire is automating vehicle maintenance for today and the future.

Robotire is seeking a highly skilled and experienced PLC Programmer to join our dynamic team. As a PLC Programmer, you will play a critical role in developing and implementing control systems for our innovative automated tire-changing solutions. Your expertise in programming and configuring programmable logic controllers (PLCs) will contribute to the efficient and reliable operation of our cutting-edge robotic systems.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, program, and configure PLC systems to control the operation of automated tire-changing equipment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand the technical requirements and functional specifications of the robotic systems.
• Design and implement control strategies and logic for optimal equipment performance, including motion control, sensor integration, and communication interfaces.
• Conduct thorough testing and debugging of PLC programs to ensure accuracy, reliability, and adherence to project specifications.
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to integrate PLC systems with robotic components, sensors, and other hardware.
• Perform system analysis, troubleshooting, and resolution of PLC-related issues during equipment commissioning and maintenance.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends, advancements, and best practices in PLC programming and automation technologies.
• Document and maintain comprehensive records of PLC programs, modifications, and system configurations.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations during the design and implementation of PLC systems.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Proven work experience as a PLC Programmer, preferably in an industrial automation or robotics environment.
• Strong proficiency in programming and configuring PLC systems (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi). (bonus points for Mitsubishi PLC experience)
• In-depth knowledge of PLC programming languages (e.g., ladder logic, structured text) and related software tools (e.g., TIA Portal, RSLogix).
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet/IP, Profibus, Modbus) and their implementation.
• Experience in motion control programming, servo drive integration, and sensor integration is highly desirable.
• Proficient in troubleshooting and debugging PLC systems, analyzing system performance, and implementing corrective measures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail to ensure accurate and reliable programming.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and meet project deadlines.
• Joining Robotire as a PLC Programmer provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of state-of-the-art automated tire-changing solutions and shape the future of the industry. If you have a passion for automation, robotics, and PLC programming, we welcome your application.
