Rockford, MI (near Grand Rapids), not remote, but frequent work-from-home opportunities
Developers, PLC programmers, Controls Engineers
We do industrial integration, meaning we get to program lasers and robot arms (my last week). We also build machines, write lightweight mobile apps, and create interfaces to machines that weren't built with one in mind.
Relaxed atmosphere, frequent new projects, ever expanding business. Everyone says disruptive, but the monitoring package we build with allows us provide services at about a fourth of what the traditional options cost (and usually the same factor of development time).
We use Python and SQL (Server, but increasingly postgres) every day, but I've dipped into Java, Objective C, and a smidgeon of VBA on the job.
For developers, the languages you know are not as important as your ability to solve new problems, learn and grow.
We are also looking for PLC programmers and/or Controls Engineers.
If interested, see my profile for contact info.
