We're looking for a Controls Engineer to own controls design across the full equipment lifecycle from hardware selection through PLC/HMI programming, testing, start-up and commissioning, working closely with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, project management and customers on custom industrial equipment.
Expect approximately 40% travel including international sites for equipment start-up, commissioning and troubleshooting. If you want a career where you see your designs go from drawing to running machinery at customer facilities around the world, this is that role.
What You'll Do- Design electrical and control systems for custom industrial machinery and automated equipment; develop supporting drawings and schematics in AutoCAD.
- Specify electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, motion and controls components, and program/configure PLC-based systems, HMIs, industrial networks, MCC hardware/software and closed-loop servo controls.
- Test completed equipment, troubleshoot issues, and make programming, configuration or design modifications as needed.
- Lead start-up and commissioning at customer sites, working directly with customers to ensure systems perform as designed.
- Partner with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, sales, purchasing and project management throughout design and build.
- Collaborate with customers, vendors and contractors to meet technical and performance requirements, and contribute to operation/maintenance documentation.
What You'll Bring- BS in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
- 3+ years designing controls or electro-mechanical systems for industrial/manufacturing equipment or capital equipment.
- Hands-on PLC programming and HMI development, plus working knowledge of electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and motion control systems.
- Experience with Rockwell and/or Siemens platforms (RSLogix/Studio 5000, FactoryTalk, Step7, WinCC, Wonderware InTouch).
- Proficiency with AutoCAD and Microsoft Office, with the ability to read electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and hydraulic and pneumatic diagrams.
- Equipment start-up, commissioning and troubleshooting experience is a plus.
- Strong problem-solving skills, able to manage multiple projects, and communicate effectively across engineering, manufacturing and customer teams.
