Job description

Are you ready to take the next step, exhibit your HMI/GUI/UI/UX/Screen Layout related skills and work in a challenging and innovative environment with a global focus?

We offer a workplace with colleagues having different culture, competence and demography, where cultures and perspectives meet and work together to achieve common goals. The HMI Developer role that we offer, has a significant role in the understanding the Human Machine Interface (HMI) requirement of the equipment/machines and design the Screen Layout/pages which are consistent and aligning to agreed Template/Theme/regulations/Colour combinations/Symbol Library. As an HMI Developer you will be working with on ECU/Automation Projects and will be designing and developing the HMI and integrating it with the ECU Development and ensuring that HMI functionalities are working smoothly. Some projects also have localization requirement for Screen labels which needs to be taken care by HMI Developer.

Responsibilities and tasks

• Develop and Maintain HMI/GUI Applications:

• Design, develop, and maintain HMI/GUI applications using C++ and Codesys Structured Text.

• Ensure consistent, user-friendly and intuitive interfaces for industrial automation systems.
• Align the Interface to Template/Theme/regulations/Color combinations/Symbol Library agreed for the project
• Integrate HMI with ECU Development (Source Code) and ensure that HMI behaves correctly.

• Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams:

• Work closely with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure successful implementation of HMI/GUI solutions.

• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback to improve system performance and user experience.

• System Testing and Troubleshooting:

• Conduct thorough testing and validation of HMI/GUI applications to ensure compliance with project specifications and industry standards.

• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to HMI/GUI systems to ensure maximum efficiency and reliability.
