**Digital Control Systems Designer** **LOCATION:** Querétaro, Mexico **The Position** As a **Digital Control Systems Designer**, you will design, develop, and optimize cutting\-edge control systems for next\-generation underground mining vehicles. Working within the **TAC division**, you will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver smart operator assists, advanced collision avoidance (CAS Level Nine), and ISO\-13849 compliant architectures. This is an exciting opportunity to apply your technical skills and creativity to solve complex challenges in a fast\-paced, innovative environment. The Control Systems Team is driving the design and buildout of a digital controls platform across more than 30 vehicle product lines. You will play a key role in developing new features and advancing the next\-generation operating system for mobile equipment. **Responsibilities and Duties** **Technical Responsibilities:** * Program mobile equipment using low variability PLC languages such as **CODESYS**. * Apply systems engineering best practices to optimize control system performance. * Implement **CAN protocols** (CAN Open, J1939\) for effective communication within vehicle systems. * Design vehicle sensor instrumentation and architecture, ensuring compliance with **ISO\-13849**. * Evaluate and integrate devices from suppliers such as **IFM, ABB**, and various ECUs (I/O modules, controllers, displays). **Tools and Software:** * **?**Use **AutoCAD, SolidWorks**, or similar tools to create and modify technical drawings, schematics, and control system network layouts. **Qualifications** * **Advanced English** (verbal and written) required; proficiency in other languages is an asset. * Minimum 5 years of engineering experience in mechatronics, electrical engineering, software development, control systems, or related fields. * Demonstrated experience with the responsibilities and duties described above. * Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering, computer science, or a related field (asset). * Professional Engineer (**P Eng**) license or similar certification (asset). * Experience with **legacy systems such as Danfoss** is considered an asset. **First Year Goals** * Learn the current and future state of core underground mining product line control systems. * Advance the design and implementation of a new CAN bus control product with new top\-level architecture for two vehicle application types (e.g., Rockbreaker). * Implement features like **CAS Level Nine** and remote/autonomous control in electrical schematics and PLC software for battery electric and diesel vehicle classes. * Execute electrical designs and gain hands\-on experience through rapid prototyping and system/subsystem validation — including building **hardware\-in\-the\-loop (HIL)** test benches and fully integrated electro\-hydraulic vehicle control systems on first\-of\-their\-class builds.
