Junior PLC Programmer

📍 Dehradun 🏷️ Embedded Systems & Hardware 💰 ₹39,000 / month

About the Role

Sahastradhara Road in Dehradun has a Junior PLC Programmer opening, full time, on site, with an embedded systems team building industrial automation solutions. Nine months of experience is the expectation, enough to have already worked with ladder logic in some real capacity.

A Day in This Job

The work covers designing and testing firmware for hardware devices, debugging circuit and system-level issues, and documenting technical specifications. PLC programming specifically uses ladder logic, a genuinely different paradigm from typical software development, and getting comfortable reading and writing it takes real, deliberate practice.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Write and test ladder logic programs for industrial control systems
  • Debug circuit and system-level issues under senior engineer guidance
  • Document technical specifications for client systems
  • Support HMI configuration for operator dashboards

Qualifications

A bachelor's degree in electronics, electrical engineering, or a related field is expected, along with practical experience with circuit design, embedded programming, or hardware prototyping, with hands-on tool exposure preferred but not mandatory for this entry-level seat.

Skills That Matter

  • PLC programming, specifically ladder logic
  • Siemens or Allen-Bradley platform familiarity
  • HMI basics

Good to Have

Any lab or coursework experience with a specific major PLC platform, basic understanding of industrial safety standards, and genuine patience for methodical, step-by-step debugging, since PLC troubleshooting rewards careful process over quick guessing.

Why This Role

Sahastradhara Road has a modest but growing embedded systems presence in Dehradun, and this team's clients span manufacturing operations where a control system error carries real operational cost, which shapes how much supervision and review a junior programmer gets before working independently on live systems. Naukri Mitra has listed a few roles from this employer, and junior programmers who've joined recently describe the pacing as deliberate rather than slow for its own sake.

The Interview Process

Interviews include a technical round on ladder logic fundamentals and a practical exercise working through a simulated control problem. Candidates who work through the exercise methodically tend to interview well.

Benefits

  • Health insurance for the employee
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates moving to Dehradun

Location & Pay

This role is based at Sahastradhara Road, Dehradun, pin code 248013, five days a week on site. Pay is up to ₹39,000 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within four to five weeks.
