Job Description
The Connectivity Software team is in charge of design, develop and maintain SW components that enable customers to connect Datalogic scanners to third-party devices (i.e., PLCs in industrial applications and POS Systems in retail applications) through standard communication interfaces and protocols. The engineer we are looking for will be primarily involved in R&D projects related to SW components that enable our industrial devices to support Functional Safety Communications.
The primary focus of this role is on integrationofkey safety protocols like PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE).
His/her main duties and responsibilities will be:
1. Develop and maintain safety‑protocols SW libraries enabling Datalogic/Datasensing industrial devices to support functional safety features.
2. Facilitate adoption of the above-mentioned SW libraries by new Datalogic/Datasensing devices under development. This task includes implementation of the new requested functionalities and support during the library integration and product certification phases.
3. Contribute to maintain the above-mentioned SW libraries by ensuring fix of any open defects, upgrade to new possible revisions of integrated protocols, and support to eventually recertificate products adopting these libraries.
4. Contribute to design, develop, and maintain PLC applications intended to run validation tests of the above-mentioned SW libraries and pre‑certification tests of Datalogic/DataSensing products that adopt them.
5. Perform assigned SW engineering activities always following well-established Software Quality Assurance (SQA) principles and best-practices.
6. Research new technologies potentially providing a competitive advantage for next-generation products.
7. Attend technical and soft-skill training initiatives promoted by the Company to ensure continuous learning and professional growth.
Requirements:
8. Education: Master’s Degree in Computer, Electronic or Automation Engineering

Specific Knowledge and Experience:
11. Good command of object-oriented design and programming in C, C++, and Python language
12. Good command of multi-threaded programming
13. Proven experience in design and development of software for embedded systems, based on Linux or real-time operating system
14. Good knowledge of well‑established Software-Quality-Assurance principles and best-practices
15. Good knowledge of TCP\IP network protocols and related analysis tools like Wireshark
16. Hands-on experience in PLC programming through CoDeSys (by using Ladder, Structured Test, or alternative languages) is highly preferred.
