Automation Engineer for Virtualized Programmable Logic Controllers

1 day ago


Malmo, Skåne, Sweden Saab AB Full time

We are looking for students who have a genuine interest in automation development that can help bring simplicity to complex operational environments. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a project that involves the development of virtualized programmable logic controllers (SoftPLCs).

Project Overview

A SoftPLC is a software-based PLC that can replace traditional hardware-based PLCs. This can reduce costs, increase reliability, flexibility, and scalability. We are seeking students who are interested in exploring the possibilities of SoftPLCs and developing a prototype using a server with several virtual machines running SoftPLCs with an external network of sensors.

The project consists of three main tasks:

  1. A report describing a typical development environment for a SoftPLC, how a server can be configured to run several SoftPLCs using virtual machines (deterministic operating systems). What are the pros and cons of a SoftPLC implementation (redundancy).
  2. A prototype using a server with several virtual machines running SoftPLCs with an external network of sensors.
  3. A comparison between different SoftPLC applications and time deterministic operating systems with a focus on performance, cost, and complexity.
About the Team

You will be working with a team of experienced software and automation engineers who are passionate about developing advanced propulsion systems within the naval domain. We value teamwork, creativity, and innovation, and we are looking for students who share these values.
