  • Develop system documentation including functional specifications, control narratives, operator manuals, maintenance documentation, and validation protocols
  • Ensure all control system designs comply with applicable US medical waste, environmental, and machine safety regulations
  • Work closely with suppliers, system integrators, and external service providers to deliver projects on time and to specification
  • Drive continuous improvement in automation performance, reliability, safety, and sustainability

About You:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline
  • 8+ years of experience in a controls or automation engineering role
  • Strong PLC and HMI programming experience with platforms such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, or Automation
  • Direct Hands-on industrial robotics experience including programming, commissioning, and safety integration (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Hyundai, or similar)
  • Strong machine vision experience using Cognex, Keyence, OpenCV, or comparable systems
  • Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and OPC UA
  • Experience with motion control, servo systems, and safety-rated automation components
  • Ability to read and create electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings
  • Experience working in regulated or safety-critical environments such as medical, pharmaceutical, or waste processing is highly desirable
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams
  • Ability to work independently and manage projects with multiple stakeholders and vendors
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required

Why Join Daniels?
  • Work on large-scale, complex industrial automation systems with real-world impact
  • Be part of a rapidly growing organization investing heavily in robotics, machine vision, and advanced controls
  • High autonomy with strong engineering influence and end-to-end system ownership
