Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
Overview
We are seeking a Controls Engineer with deep expertise in Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and EtherCAT-based automation to architect, program, and deploy advanced control systems across robotic and precision-assembly manufacturing lines. The ideal candidate combines strong software design capability with hands-on hardware integration experience, ensuring world-class reliability and throughput.
Key Responsibilities
Controls Architecture & Programming
Design, develop, and maintain automation controls using Beckhoff PLCs (CX / IPC series) and TwinCAT 3.
Create structured, modular code in Structured Text (ST) and Function Block Diagram (FBD).
Configure EtherCAT topologies, motion axes, and I/O mapping for deterministic real-time control.
Implement state machines, PID loops, and coordinated motion for robotics, conveyors, and process equipment.
Integration & Commissioning
Integrate Beckhoff systems with Fanuc robots, FerRobotics tools, and external sensors over TCP/IP, OPC-UA, and Modbus-TCP.
Conduct real-time debugging, trace analysis, and optimization of PLC cycles and task priorities.
Support on-site commissioning, troubleshooting, and handover of production-ready automation cells.
Infrastructure & Standardization
Develop and maintain code libraries, templates, and configuration management standards.
Collaborate with electrical design, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers to ensure integrated system performance.
Support MES and ERP data connectivity for traceability and production analytics.
Qualifications
Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls, or equivalent.
Experience: 3–8 years hands-on Beckhoff/TwinCAT 3 experience in production automation.
Technical Skills:
PLC programming in Structured Text, Ladder, and FBD.
Motion control tuning, EtherCAT configuration, and real-time synchronization.
Familiarity with Fanuc robots, end effectors, and safety PLCs.
Understanding of electrical schematics, servo drives, and industrial communication protocols.
Preferred: Experience in aerospace, semiconductor, or satellite manufacturing.
