We are seeking an experienced PLC Programmer/Developer with strong hands-on experience in Allen-Bradley and Siemens control systems — specifically those used in GM GCCS and Ford FAST environments. These two platforms make up the majority of business, so deep familiarity is key.

This is not a maintenance or commissioning-only role — we need developers who can create and implement PLC programs from the ground up, not just troubleshoot or patch existing code.


Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and implement new PLC programs using Allen-Bradley (Rockwell) and Siemens (TIA Portal, Step 7) platforms

  • Develop and integrate control systems for GM, Ford, and Stellantis projects

  • Create robust, standardized code following GM GCCS and Ford FAST specifications

  • Collaborate with engineering teams to design control logic, HMI interfaces, and system architectures

  • Perform simulation and offline testing prior to deployment

  • Support startup and commissioning when needed (not primary focus)

  • Ensure systems meet OEM and customer standards


Requirements

  • Experience: 2–15+ years of PLC programming (open to both mid-level and senior developers)

  • Platforms: Allen-Bradley (RSLogix, Studio 5000), Siemens (TIA Portal, Step 7)

  • Automotive Experience: Required — GM Global Common, Ford FAST, and/or Stellantis platforms

  • Skills: Full-cycle program development (not just debugging or maintenance)

  • Education: No degree required — practical, hands-on programming experience preferred

  • OEM Experience: Preferred, but not required


Ideal Candidate

  • Has written and deployed PLC code from scratch —not just troubleshooting and debugging

  • Understands OEM standards and plant integration

  • Is detail-oriented and comfortable working in both development and commissioning environments when needed
