Quick Facts

• Role: Senior Systems Development Engineer (Mechanical Controls)

• Focus: Mechanical control systems software for data center infrastructure

Description

You will design, develop, deploy, and scale mechanical control systems software on the CODESYS PLC platform that runs AWS mechanical infrastructure. The work includes creating control logic, function blocks, and sequences of operations, troubleshooting control system issues, and supporting first-of-kind controller deployments with occasional on-site break/fix. You will collaborate across engineering teams and document designs, configurations, and sequences.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain mechanical control systems software on CODESYS (IEC 61131-3) PLC platform

• Develop and refine control logic, function blocks, and Sequences of Operations (SOO)

• Perform triage, root-cause analysis, and remediation of control system issues

• Support first-of-kind builds with occasional on-site travel for real-time break/fix support

• Partner with electrical controls counterparts and other engineering teams to develop next-generation controllers

• Document control system designs, configurations, and sequences of operation

• Participate in design reviews and continuous improvement of controls development standards and tooling

• Participate in on-call rotation for escalation support for critical control system issues

Requirements

• 2+ years of programming with at least one modern language (C++, C#, Java, Python, Golang, PowerShell, Ruby)
