Job description

Industrial Automation Controls Engineer (Robotics & Motion)

Imagine your morning starts by refining PLC logic for a high‑speed cell, then moving to the floor to bring a six‑axis robot, a safety PLC, and coordinated servo axes to life. After lunch, you iterate on HMI screens for operator clarity, redline a schematic for a late‑breaking change, and close the day with a multi‑disciplinary huddle ensuring everything ships on time and to standard. If that rhythm sounds exciting, you’ll feel at home at Matrix Design.

Why Matrix Design

We believe great outcomes come from great people. Our purpose is reflected in three commitments—Developing Great People, Building a Great Company, and Delivering Great Results—and lived daily through our six Core Values:

  • We Can Do That!
  • We Do It Right!
  • We Do What We Say
  • We Do It Better Next Time!
  • We Do It Together!
  • We Do It for a Greater Purpose

We put the Right Person in the Right Seat so complex, cross‑industry automation challenges are met with creativity, perseverance, and teamwork.

What you’ll own
  • Design, program, and implement control systems for automated manufacturing, including PLC and HMI development.
  • Integrate industrial robots and motion platforms (servos, VFDs, coordinated motion) into custom solutions.
  • Partner with mechanical, electrical, robot programming, and software teams to achieve performance, quality, and uptime targets.
  • Commission systems on site; troubleshoot and debug controls during build, install, and startup.
  • Verify compliance to safety and quality standards and complete risk assessments.
  • Create and maintain detailed documentation: redlined electrical schematics, panel/layout drawings, user guides, and change logs.
  • Contribute to project planning with estimates for effort, schedule, and cost.
How you operate
  • Ideal team player mindset: humble (elevates others), hungry (self‑driven and proactive), and smart (emotionally intelligent and pragmatic).
Skills you’ll use
  • PLC programming proficiency (e.g., Allen‑Bradley, Siemens) and HMI development.
  • Hands‑on experience with industrial robots (e.g., FANUC, ABB, Yaskawa).
  • Strong command of motion control, VFDs, and servo drives.
  • Ability to read, critique, and contribute to electrical schematic design.
  • Fluency in industrial networking and protocols (e.g., Ethernet/IP, Modbus, ProfiNet).
  • Structured troubleshooting and problem‑solving under time constraints.
  • Clear communicator with strong organizational habits and attention to detail.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related discipline.
  • 5+ years leading controls engineering efforts focused on automation and robotics.
  • Proven experience delivering PLC, HMI, and robotic systems from concept through commissioning.
  • Knowledge of safety standards and risk assessments (e.g., ANSI, NFPA, ISO).
  • Experience programming safety controllers or safety‑rated PLCs.
  • Demonstrated skill troubleshooting industrial electrical control systems.
  • PE license or vendor certifications (e.g., Rockwell, Siemens) are a plus.
Travel

Up to 40% for installation, commissioning, and support.

The posted salary range represents an estimate for this role. The final offer will be determined based on several factors, including the candidate’s specific skills, professional experience, and relevant certifications.
