  • 3+ years of experience in control systems programming, preferably in AV or manufacturing environments.

  • Strong programming skills with PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley/Rockwell RSLogix, Siemens TIA Portal/S7, Mazak Mazatrol).

  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus, etc.).

  • Experience with HMI/SCADA systems (FactoryTalk, WinCC, etc.).

  • Understanding of electrical schematics and control panel design is a plus.

  • Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

    Preferred Skills (Nice to Have):

  • AV system integration experience (Crestron, Extron, Dante, etc.).

  • Experience with CNC systems or robotic automation.

  • Knowledge of scripting or high-level programming languages (Python, C#, etc.).

  • Familiarity with Industry 4.0 and IoT integration.

    What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package of 45k

  • Opportunities for professional development and training.

  • A collaborative work environment with cutting-edge technology.
