Responsibilities
PLC & Control Systems Integration
- Design, program, and modify PLC logic (Siemens, Allen Bradley, Rexroth L20/L40) to enable data extraction from manufacturing and testing lab equipment
- Establish robust connectivity between PLCs and the Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
- Integrate and configure Bosch Rexroth CtrlX CORE controllers for high-speed data acquisition from sensors and machines
Data Acquisition & Connectivity
- Develop and implement software solutions for connecting high-speed sensors (e.g., vibration, process data) to edge devices like CtrlX and NI CompactRIO
- Utilize and manage data transfer protocols including UDP, TCP/IP, and others to ensure reliable data flow from the shop floor to servers or the cloud (Microsoft Azure)
- Implement data conditioning and pre-processing routines on edge devices using LabVIEW, C++, and Python
Data Analysis & Visualization
- Connect aggregated data sources to Microsoft Power BI to create dynamic, insightful dashboards and reports for process monitoring and analysis
- Develop custom scripts and applications (Python, C++) to support data logging, transformation, and analysis tasks
- Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to understand data requirements and deliver meaningful visualizations
Project Execution & Support
- Lead and support key digitalization projects, such as the AI Data Logger for high-frequency signal acquisition and PLC connectivity for the MES system. but also the coordination of bigger projects including planning, designing and coordination with our external supplier.
- Act as a technical expert for machine connectivity, providing support and troubleshooting for deployed solutions across the plant
- Document solutions, including code, network architecture, and configuration guides to ensure maintainability and knowledge transfer
- Work closely with international teams (e.g., Central Research in Renningen) to leverage existing expertise and contribute to global Bosch solutions
