Control Engineer

Job Description :

• Location: On-site preferred; remote possible initially for offline programming (with higher requirements).
• Education: Computer, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering
• Experience:
• Prefer candidates without prior Tesla experience.
• Strong PLC programming skills (Siemens, TIA Portal).
• Commissioning-related and hardware commissioning experience.
• Recent experience (last two years) with TIA Portal is crucial.
• Ability to program from scratch (not just read/sustain existing code).
• Ignition version 8.1 and above (for full screen design, not just SCADA/dashboard).
• Profinet for network troubleshooting (no experience in network troubleshooting is acceptable).
• Focus on PLC programming for incoming projects (higher demand than robot programming).
• Not Required: Project management, leadership, WinCC.
• Screening Questions:
• "Walking through your most recent Siemens TIA Portal project: What was the equipment? Your role? Outcome?"
• "What kind of application did you program? (e.g., robot station, gantry station, dispense system)"
• For Ignition: "What's the application you used Ignition for? (e.g., machine HMI, SCADA, dashboard)"
• Interview Times and Test Info:
• Friday after 3:30pm – 5:30 and Monday 3:30 – 11am -12:00
• 30 minutes interview
• Ken will send out test afterward and will provide a scenario, and candidates will need to program a station or situation from scratch, which could be PLC or robot programming.
• Ken prefers PLC programming due to higher demand for incoming projects.
• A "pass" means the candidate can program effectively, producing code that can be used in a real machine right away (e.g., in Robot Guy for robots or TIA Portal for PLC).
