These competencies ensure the reliable design, implementation, and maintenance of automation systems critical to industrial and manufacturing operations.

What is the difference between Electrical Control Engineer vs Electrical Design Engineer?

AspectElectrical Control EngineerElectrical Design Engineer
Primary FocusDesign, develop, and troubleshoot control systems and automation processesDesign electrical systems and circuits for various applications
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, automation facilities, industrial settingsEngineering offices, project sites, consulting firms
CertificationsPE license, control system certificationsPE license, electrical design certifications

Electrical Control Engineers focus on automation and control systems, ensuring machinery operates efficiently. Electrical Design Engineers concentrate on creating electrical layouts and circuits for projects. While both roles require electrical engineering credentials, their daily tasks and work environments differ significantly.

What does an Electrical Control Engineer do?

An Electrical Control Engineer designs, develops, and maintains systems used to control electrical equipment and machinery. They create and implement control systems, often using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and related software, to ensure machines operate efficiently and safely. Their work involves troubleshooting, testing, and upgrading control systems, as well as collaborating with other engineers to optimize performance in industrial or manufacturing environments.

How does an Electrical Control Engineer typically collaborate with other engineering disciplines on projects?

Electrical Control Engineers often work closely with mechanical, process, and software engineers to design and implement automated systems. They coordinate during the planning phase to ensure control systems align with the overall system requirements, and regularly participate in cross-functional meetings to resolve integration challenges. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as Electrical Control Engineers may need to troubleshoot issues that span multiple disciplines and ensure seamless system performance.

SCOPE:
The Control Engineer (Chiller) is responsible for control system engineering for centrifugal chiller and Modular Chiller Plant (MCP) products, including control logic development and review, interface definition, and coordination with internal teams, suppliers, and customers. This role supports the development and deployment of advanced cooling solutions for data center applications in North America, working closely with key stakeholders such as data center operators, infrastructure providers, and technology partners. The position plays a critical role in aligning system architecture, ensuring integration across mechanical, electrical, and control domains, and enabling scalable, modular solutions. The position contributes to the full lifecycle of products and projects, including early-stage concept development, technical proposal support, detailed design coordination, testing, commissioning, and ongoing optimization. The role also supports the development of next-generation products through collaboration with customers and external partners. This position collaborates with global stakeholders across Japan and the U.S. to align priorities, enable effective execution, and support MHIA's long-term business objectives.
The ideal candidate will have at least seven (7) years of experience in control system design or engineering for HVAC, centrifugal chiller (TRANE or JCI), or industrial systems.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design and Development
  • Develop and review control logic for centrifugal chiller and MCP systems, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Define system architecture and control strategies, including temperature, flow, and energy optimization control
  • Design and validate control interfaces between chillers, auxiliary equipment (pumps, valves), and supervisory systems (BMS/DCIM)
  • Support the development of advanced controls, including automation, optimization, and future digital integration
  • Own design calculations and analysis packages (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, harmonics, transients/dynamic performance) and maintain traceability to requirements.

System Integration & Interface Management
  • Define interface requirements and responsibility boundaries among internal teams, customers, and suppliers
  • Ensure alignment of control systems with mechanical and electrical system configurations
  • Coordinate system integration across multiple vendors and subsystems
  • Support troubleshooting and issue resolution related to control system performance

  • Act as a technical interface with customers, partners, and suppliers during pre- and post-award phases
  • Respond to technical inquiries and drive alignment on system functionality and interfaces
  • Support evaluation and selection of control system suppliers and components

Project Execution Support
  • Support proposal development by defining control system scope, assumptions, and technical solutions
  • Ensure alignment on scope, schedule, and deliverables across stakeholders
  • Participate in testing, commissioning, and site validation activities as needed
  • Support the continuous improvement of engineering processes and standardization
  • Product & Technology Development
  • Contribute to the development of next-generation cooling products, including MCP and modularized systems
  • Identify opportunities for performance improvement, cost reduction, and enhanced functionality
  • Monitor market trends and emerging technologies in control systems, data center cooling, and automation
  • Lead vendor design reviews and manage deviation/issue closure through corrective actions and design improvements.
  • This list of responsibilities is not all-inclusive, and an employee may be required to perform other relevant duties as assigned.
