Summary:

The primary function of this position is to design, test, and maintain logic code for CNC’s

and PLC’s that will control large scale machine tools. This individual will develop

software which fulfills the requirements of project specifications using structured analysis

and design techniques. With minimal supervision, the individual will design, code, test

and document the software. Tasks will be performed in conjunction with Supervision

and the Project Engineer to formulate specifications and requirements for the software.

Duties and Responsibilities:

 Develops new, complex designs to meet project specifications.

 Works with supervision to maintain project schedules, quality, and costs.

 Supports the development and maintenance of logic on all products.

 Works directly with hardware engineering to develop CNC + PLC Logic.

 Works directly with project engineering to develop CNC configurations and

parameters.

 Assists high level programmers to develop interface to HMI’s and front end

computers.

 Assist Systems (Start-Up) Engineers in performing functional machine tests on

the shop floor.

 Documents designs using the appropriate format to Ingersoll and/or customer

standards as required by the project.

 Debugs software modules and systems, also performs simulation checkout of

systems.

 Assists production personnel in applying software products.

 Supports Systems (Start-Up) Engineers in installing software at customer’s site

and assists customer in using software products.

 Assists with any other tasks as needed.

 Provides assistance to other functional organizations (Manufacturing, Assembly,

and Customer Service) throughout the life of the project.

 Has responsibility for testing and validation of designs.

 Maintains technical competency and works to expand technical skills and
