Automation controls engineers help create the layout of electrical and mechanical control systems. In this role, you may help program an automation process, modify existing programming when necessary, and help ensure the company is using the safest and most productive system possible for its needs. You may also be responsible for creating training documentation to show employees how to control and adjust their operations. Most automation control engineers work in manufacturing plants and similar companies where physical automation is used to speed up production tasks. This job should not be confused with automation programming outside of the manufacturing sector, such as software programming.
| Aspect | Automation Controls Engineer | Electrical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically requires a degree in electrical, mechanical, or automation engineering; certifications like Certified Automation Professional (CAP) are common | Requires a degree in electrical engineering; licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE) may be preferred |
| Work Environment | Works primarily in manufacturing, automation, and control system settings | Works in various sectors including power, construction, and manufacturing, often focusing on electrical systems |
| Industry Usage | Commonly employed in automation, process control, and manufacturing industries | Used across power generation, construction, and industrial sectors |
Automation Controls Engineers focus on designing, programming, and maintaining control systems for automation processes, while Electrical Engineers have a broader scope involving electrical system design and analysis. Both roles require strong technical skills and often overlap in industrial settings, but their primary responsibilities and certifications differ.
