PLC Integration Engineer (PIE)
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
What You Will Do
- Network & PLC Integration
- Execute end-to-end network and PLC integration of Laminar’s edge devices into customer OT environments — both onsite and remotely — covering IP configuration, VLAN setup, DMZ architecture, firewall rules, and cloud connectivity.
- Configure and troubleshoot industrial communication protocols including Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, and PROFINET to establish reliable data exchange between Laminar hardware and customer PLCs/SCADA systems.
- Diagnose and resolve network issues in the field: invalid IP configurations, DNS resolution failures, NTP sync problems, and general IT/OT network outages affecting data flow.
- Work alongside customer process, IT, and OT teams during deployment pilots to bring Laminar sensors and edge hardware online reliably and on schedule.
- Contribute to productizing the integration process — identify what is manual and repetitive today and help engineer it away so deployments scale faster tomorrow.
- Support Site Acceptance Test (SAT) completion and customer sign-off in coordination with the broader FDE team.
- Documentation & Feedback Loop
- Systematically document integration challenges, workarounds, and field patterns; translate learnings into structured, actionable feedback for the edge device engineering team.
- Build and maintain integration runbooks, network topology diagrams, and troubleshooting guides that reduce time-to-resolution for recurring issues.
- Customer Support
- Serve as a frontline member of Laminar’s customer support function — monitor deployed site health, drive root-cause analysis on connectivity and hardware issues and create a feedback loop between field observations and product engineering to improve system resilience.
- Actively support Laminar’s sales team on pre-sales discovery calls and answer customer questions on cybersecurity, network/IT/OT architecture to get their approval.
- Travel Requirement: Up to 50% — onsite at customer manufacturing facilities; typical visits 1–2 days.
About You
Required
Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
Hands-on experience with PLC platforms and industrial communication protocols: Ethernet/IP, Modbus (TCP and RTU), PROFINET, or equivalent.
Practical proficiency with Git/GitHub, Python scripting, and Linux command-line fundamentals.
Undergraduate coursework or equivalent demonstrated knowledge in networking fundamentals: IP addressing, subnetting, VLANs, DNS, NTP, and TCP/IP stack.
Comfortable getting hands dirty to debug data-flow problems — you understand what a network trace tells you and you know how to follow a packet.
Portfolio of projects (academic, personal, or professional) demonstrating proficiency in networking, systems integration, debugging, or problem-solving.
Strong cross-functional communicator — able to work across customer IT teams, plant-floor OT engineers, and internal software developers.
Willingness to travel up to 50% to customer sites as deployment schedules require.
Preferred
Advanced Linux skills: shell scripting, systemd service management, network diagnostics (tcpdump, netstat, ip, nmap).
Experience with IT/OT convergence, Industry 4.0 architectures, or industrial network segmentation (Purdue model / ISA-99).
Familiarity with time-series or sensor data; ability to identify anomalies and performance degradation in data streams.
Experience with monitoring tooling, alerting infrastructure, or ticketing systems.
Startup mindset — adaptable, resourceful, and energized by building processes that don’t exist yet
