Job Description The Connectivity Software team is in charge of designing, developing and maintaining 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 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 the integration of key safety protocols like PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and Safety over EtherCAT (FSoE). Main Duties and Responsibilities Develop and maintain safety‑protocols SW libraries enabling Datalogic/Datasensing industrial devices to support functional safety features. Facilitate adoption of the above‑mentioned SW libraries by new Datalogic/Datasensing devices under development. This task includes implementation of the requested functionalities and support during the library integration and product certification phases. Contribute to maintain the above‑mentioned SW libraries by ensuring the fix of any open defects, upgrading to new revisions of integrated protocols, and supporting eventual recertification of products adopting these libraries. 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. Perform assigned SW engineering activities always following well‑established Software Quality Assurance (SQA) principles and best‑practices. Research new technologies potentially providing a competitive advantage for next‑generation products. Attend technical and soft‑skill training initiatives promoted by the Company to ensure continuous learning and professional growth. Requirements Education: Master’s Degree in Computer, Electronic or Automation Engineering. Languages: Italian and English (intermediate or better). Experience: more than three years of hands‑on experience in embedded SW engineering, object‑oriented design, and C/C++ programming. Specific Knowledge And Experience Good command of object‑oriented design and programming in C, C++, and Python language. Good command of multi‑threaded programming. Proven experience in design and development of software for embedded systems, based on Linux or real‑time operating system. Good knowledge of well‑established Software‑Quality‑Assurance principles and best‑practices. Good knowledge of TCP/IP network protocols and related analysis tools like Wireshark. Hands‑on experience in PLC programming through CoDeSys (using Ladder, Structured Test, or alternative languages) is highly preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr
