Beckhoff Automation Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Voxel is seeking a Control and Automation Engineer to develop our advanced manufacturing equipment and processes.  Voxel is a thought leader in Pulsed Electrochemical Machining (PECM), an advanced manufacturing process unrivaled in its ability to quickly and accurately machine specialty metal alloys.  Our mission is to use PECM and related manufacturing technologies to supply critical, high-value parts to aerospace, energy, and medical customers.
At Voxel, we focus on solving meaningful manufacturing challenges in aerospace, energy, transportation, and healthcare. Our work results in real, tangible products—giving engineers the opportunity to see the direct impact of what they build.
Our technology sits at the intersection of materials science, electrochemistry, and electrical, mechanical, chemical, and software engineering. We are looking for engineers who enjoy working across disciplines, collaborating closely with others, and developing innovative solutions to complex problems.
As a Control and Automation engineer you will be responsible for helping create the controls for sophisticated electrochemical machining processes including software programs, process feedback and controls schemes, integration of sensors and 3rd party hardware (e.g. robots, metrology equipment), and digital data reporting. This role is also responsible for the design and build of industrial control panels, selection of sensors and other hardware, and miscellaneous electrical design. This position is full-time based in Knightdale, NC.
About You
We are looking for a self-motivated engineer who can take ownership of projects and work independently with minimal oversight. Candidates should have experience with object-oriented programming, structured control logic (such as state machines), and data handling. Beckhoff is Voxel’s primary industrial control platform, so familiarity with Beckhoff TwinCAT is preferred.
As a small business, the demands of this role shift with the phase of work. You may spend time focused on software development and process optimization, then transition to hands-on panel building, equipment installation, and commissioning. Applicants should be comfortable working across these responsibilities and able to shift between them as the business requires.
You align with Voxel’s Core Values: Expect Excellence, Do Right By Others,
Always Getting Better, What Would Happen If…
