PLC and HMI Programmer

At Ikonika, Our senior programmers don’t just write logic—they restore control in the most demanding environments and create a platform for the future. We modernize outdated automation systems—working around planned downtimes. That takes skill, speed, and steady hands. 

We are a deeply technical, full-scope control systems integrator with end-to-end in-house capabilities—from system design and programming to panel fabrication, commissioning, and long-term support—all based at our facility in Fife, WA.

We built our reputation in the world of marine automation, delivering high-performance control systems for vessels and seafood processing operations. Our deep process control expertise now powers our expansion into food and beverage manufacturing, including bottling plants where high-availability automation is critical. 

We’re flexible with your schedule because our work happens when our customers’ systems aren’t running, and that doesn’t always mean standard hours. Since we adapt to meet their needs, we make sure to offer that same flexibility to you.
