AspectControls EngineerElectrical Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's in Electrical, Mechanical, or Controls Engineering; certifications like Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST)Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering; Professional Engineer (PE) license often preferred
Work EnvironmentIndustrial settings, manufacturing plants, automation facilitiesPower plants, electronics, telecommunications, industrial facilities
Industry UsageAutomation, manufacturing, process controlPower systems, electronics, telecommunications

Controls Engineers focus on designing, developing, and maintaining control systems for automation and manufacturing processes, while Electrical Engineers work on electrical systems, power distribution, and electronic devices. Both roles require similar credentials and often overlap in industrial environments, but their primary responsibilities and areas of expertise differ.

How much do controls engineers get paid?

Controls engineers typically earn a median annual salary between $70,000 and $100,000, depending on experience, location, and industry. Entry-level positions may start around $60,000, while experienced professionals with specialized skills or certifications can earn over $110,000. Salaries can also vary based on the complexity of control systems and the use of programming tools like PLCs and SCADA systems.

What does a controls engineer do?

A controls engineer designs, develops, and maintains control systems used to operate machinery and processes in manufacturing, automation, and industrial settings. They work with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, and software to ensure systems function efficiently and safely, often requiring knowledge of electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. Controls engineers also troubleshoot issues, optimize system performance, and may hold certifications in automation or control systems.

Job description

Controls Engineer - Gainesville, GA or Jefferson, GA

Build the Future of Manufacturing with Kubota

At Kubota, we're transforming manufacturing through advanced automation, smart systems, and continuous innovation. As a Controls Engineer, you'll play a key role in driving the next generation of our production capabilities-designing and deploying cuttingedge mechatronic and automation solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and reliability across our operations.

This is a handson, highimpact role where you won't just design systems-you'll bring them to life on the factory floor. Working alongside crossfunctional teams, you'll solve complex challenges, integrate emerging technologies, and directly influence how our products are built.

What You'll Do

  • Develop, modify, and optimize PLC programs (AllenBradley, Mitsubishi) for highperformance production equipment
  • Partner with manufacturing engineers to design, specify, build, test, and commission new mechatronic systems
  • Research emerging technologies and engineer robust, scalable controls solutions
  • Lead and support maintenance teams in troubleshooting complex controls issues and minimizing downtime
  • Analyze recurring equipment problems, identify root causes, and implement longterm solutions
  • Build strong relationships with automation vendors and evaluate new technologies
  • Create equipment specifications, manage procurement, and oversee installation of controls hardware
  • Collaborate with IT to integrate automation systems with Kubota's MES platform
  • Develop and maintain controls standards to ensure consistency across operations
  • Produce and maintain engineering documentation (schematics, work instructions, risk assessments)
  • Manage project timelines, budgets, and execution from concept through launch
  • Support preventive maintenance strategies for automated systems
  • Train production and maintenance teams on new technologies and processes
  • Communicate system performance and improvement opportunities to diverse stakeholders
  • Stay current with automation standards (NEC, NFPA, IEC) and industry trends
  • Provide occasional offshift or weekend support as needed
  • Contribute to a collaborative, teamoriented engineering environment

What You Bring

Core Competencies

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Collaborative, teamfirst mindset
  • Excellent analytical and troubleshooting abilities
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Selfmotivated with a willingness to learn and adapt
  • Flexibility to meet project and production deadlines

Preferred Experience

  • AllenBradley PLC platforms
  • AutoCAD Electrical
  • HMI development and design
  • MES systems (data collection, visualization, quality, efficiency)
  • Project management experience
  • Programming experience (Visual Basic, C, C++, Python)

Education

Bachelor's degree in Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field

OR

3+ years of relevant industry experience in software development, programming, or engineering/IT disciplines

Kubota Offers

  • Comprehensive medical/dental/vision
  • 401k match
  • Annual performance bonuses
  • Earned time off (ETO)/10 paid company holidays
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Stability and growth opportunity

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

This role combines office work with handson time on the production floor. You'll regularly interact with manufacturing equipment and must be able to stand, walk, use hand tools, and read detailed schematics. Visual acuity, including color and depth perception is essential for troubleshooting and system validation. Reasonable accommodations are available.
