Commission Motion Planning Jobs (NOW HIRING)

HP PageWide Web Press Controls Systems Engineer

Description -

The Industrial Controls Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, commissioning, and supporting industrial machine control systems that operate highspeed production equipment, with a direct impact on system uptime, product quality, and production throughput. This role focuses on delivering modular, scalable, and standardized control architectures that enable reliable operation, faster commissioning, and efficient longterm support across machine platforms.

The position emphasizes configurationdriven control solutions and reusable software components over monolithic, custom PLC implementations. Working closely with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and operations teams, the Industrial Controls Engineer ensures that control system design supports stable continuous operation, precise process control, and rapid fault recovery in complex industrial environments.

The role operates within an Agile SCRUM development model, contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery commitments to ensure predictable, incremental delivery of control system capabilities aligned with program milestones.
