Industrial control systems and wireless automation for rail, mining, and mobile equipment
Cattron builds embedded control systems for safety-critical rail and industrial automation, with a tech stack rooted in Java, C++, and real-time operating systems—matched by active hiring in embedded engineering and support roles across five countries. The project mix (railway control architecture, firmware testing, RF infrastructure) and pain-point focus (product failure trends, customer downtime, interoperability validation) reveal a company scaling both product depth and operational reliability in heavily regulated markets.
Cattron designs wireless and integrated control solutions for industrial automation, rail transport, mining, and mobile equipment. The company operates from Warren, Ohio, with 201–500 employees and development or support centers in Germany, Czechia, the US, Canada, and Brazil. Core work spans embedded safety-critical firmware, custom product engineering, RF railway communication systems, and verification & validation testing. The business combines standard product offerings with customer-specific configurations and provides long-term technical support across global deployments.
Java, C++, C#, .NET, Jakarta EE, RTOS, Linux, MQTT, CAN, TCP/IP, and embedded tools (JTAG, oscilloscope, multimeter). Front-end work includes JavaScript and AJAX; backend spans REST, SOAP, and SQL.
