Job Description



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: 215+ 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
