• Produce work break down structures and define work packages for execution in JIRA tasks and integration into high level plans
• Integrate with industrial control equipment and software, including PLCs, HMIs and SCADA systems
• Implement and validate industrial communication protocols: Modbus (RTU/TCP), CAN/CANopen/J1939, Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, OPC UA, RS232/RS485
• Apply functional safety practices in line with IEC 61508/IEC 62061, including SIL determination, Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), HARA/FTA/FMEA, and verification evidence
• Contribute to software quality by the use of coding standards (e.g., MISRA C/C++) and static analysis tools, performing code reviews and developing unit/integration tests
• Create test plans and perform functional product verification and validation activities
• Author and maintain engineering documentation: architecture, design descriptions, interface control documents, test plans, and safety lifecycle artefacts
• Collaborate closely with electronics, test & approvals, cybersecurity and product management to deliver cohesive solutions
• Support system integration, commissioning and troubleshooting at parent company and customer sites (UK and international travel required)
• Contribute to continuous improvement of processes, toolchains, CI/CD and development workflows (e.g., Git, Jira, code review)
