Job Description
PLC Engineer XPAK Robotics Inc Miami, FL Job Details Full-time From $100,000 a year 1 hour ago Benefits Relocation assistance 401(k) Paid time off Flexible schedule Qualifications Electrical automation system implementation System architecture Functional testing PLC programming Full Job Description About XPAK Robotics, Inc. — XPAK Robotics is a fast-growing designer and manufacturer of custom robotic and mechanical end-of-line packaging automation systems. Every system we deliver is custom-engineered, including the controls that bring it to life. Our team is small, technically driven, and moving quickly — if you want to write the software that runs real machines on real production floors, this is the place for you. Job Overview We are looking for a PLC Engineer to take ownership of custom controls software across our automation systems — from initial program development through in-house testing and final on-site commissioning. You will write and debug PLC logic, build and refine HMI interfaces, and work hands-on with mechanical and electrical teams to bring complete systems to life. This role spans the full controls lifecycle: you'll be writing code at your desk one week and standing on a customer's production floor commissioning that same system the next. Responsibilities Develop custom PLC software for robotic palletizers, case erectors, conveyor systems, and other end-of-line packaging automation Design and build HMI screens and operator interfaces tailored to each customer's process and operators Program and integrate robot controllers (FANUC, ABB, Doosan, or similar) with PLC-driven system logic Conduct in-house functional testing and debugging of control systems prior to shipment Travel to customer sites to commission systems, troubleshoot issues, and support startup through full production handoff Develop and maintain safety circuit logic in accordance with applicable machine safety standards Collaborate with mechanical design and project engineering teams throughout the design and build process to ensure controls integrate cleanly with mechanical systems Create and maintain controls documentation, including I/O lists, network architecture diagrams, and program documentation Provide remote and on-site troubleshooting support for systems in the field as needed Experience 3-8 years of experience programming PLCs in an industrial automation or machine building environment Strong proficiency with Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation platforms (Studio 5000, RSLogix) — XPAK's standard controls stack Experience building HMI applications, ideally with FactoryTalk View ME or similar platforms Solid understanding of industrial networking (EtherNet/IP, device-level networks) and I/O architecture Hands-on experience testing, debugging, and commissioning control systems — not just writing code at a desk Working knowledge of machine safety circuits and standards (PLd Cat. 3 or similar) Willingness to travel for on-site commissioning and startup support (estimated 20-30%) Strong troubleshooting instincts and comfort working independently on a production floor under time pressure
