Motion Control Software Engineer for one of the leading forging company for Pune location

Job Description: Motion Control Software Engineer Software Development

Design, develop, and implement control software for industrial automation equipment.
Build process applications using C++, C#, or .NET (Visual Basic optional) for machine automation, including:

- Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) for modularity.
- Subsystem/device communication and control logic.

Develop low-level drivers for hardware interfacing via PCIe, CAN, EtherCAT, Profinet, or OPC UA.
Build HMI applications for operators, including visualization, diagnostics, and control panels.

Integration

Develop and integrate software to collect, store, and analyze machine and sensor data (local DBs, OPC UA, APIs).
Interface with third-party SDKs/runtimes to integrate cameras, vision systems, motion libraries, and field I/O.
Ensure reliable communication with physical layers (PCIe, industrial buses, smart sensors).

Good-to-Have Background

Familiarity with PLCs (Siemens, Beckhoff, Mitsubishi, Allen-Bradley, etc.) and IEC 61131-3 programming (Ladder, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram).
Experience with IO systems/IO-Link, safety circuits, vision systems, and advanced sensors.
Knowledge of API linking, OPC UA communication, and motion control architectures.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Programming Languages & Tools: Strong in C++ and C#; experience with .NET/Visual Studio. Python desirable for testing, automation, and data tasks.
Motion Control: Solid understanding of multi-axis motion, interpolation, synchronous motion, electronic gearing/camming, and PID loop tuning.
Industrial Communication: Hands-on with EtherCAT Master/Slave and familiarity with fieldbus protocols (Profinet, CANopen, Modbus).
Hardware/Systems: Knowledge of PC-based motion control cards, drives, and integration with electro-mechanical systems.

Software Practices: Comfortable with Git/version control, debugging, modular design, and code optimization.
