:

- Location
: On-site preferred; remote possible initially for offline programming (with higher requirements).

- Education
: Computer, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering

- Experience
:

- Prefer candidates without prior Tesla experience.

- Strong PLC programming skills (Siemens, TIA Portal).

- Commissioning-related and hardware commissioning experience.

- Recent experience (last two years) with TIA Portal is crucial.

- Ability to program from scratch (not just read/sustain existing code).

- Ignition version 8.1 and above (for full screen design, not just SCADA/dashboard).

- Profinet for network troubleshooting (no experience in network troubleshooting is acceptable).

- Focus on PLC programming for incoming projects (higher demand than robot programming).

- Not Required
: Project management, leadership, WinCC.

- Screening Questions
:

- "Walking through your most recent Siemens TIA Portal project: What was the equipment? Your role? Outcome?"





- "What kind of application did you program? (e.g., robot station, gantry station, dispense system)"

- For Ignition: "What's the application you used Ignition for? (e.g., machine HMI, SCADA, dashboard)"

- Interview Times and Test Info:

- Friday after 3:30pm – 5:30 and Monday 3:30 – 11am -12:00

- 30 minutes interview

- Ken will send out test afterward and will provide a scenario, and candidates will need to program a station or situation from scratch, which could be PLC or robot programming.

- Ken prefers PLC programming due to higher demand for incoming projects.

- A "pass" means the candidate can program effectively, producing code that can be used in a real machine right away (e.g., in Robot Guy for robots or TIA Portal for PLC).
