What is the difference between Engineer Controls Engineer vs Electrical Engineer?

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.

Job description

Electrical Engineer II
Product ownership | Electrical, embedded, controls, validation, and technical documentation
Role Overview
The Electrical Engineer II owns defined products and engineering work from requirements and design through testing, release, documentation, and field support. The role combines electrical and controls engineering with embedded hardware/software knowledge and independent product-level judgment.
Product focus: Primary ownership is the A-T Controls product portfolio, with supporting ownership of EMI products. This role must translate product decisions into clear distributor-ready documentation and support.
Core Responsibilities
Product and System Ownership
  • Own assigned A-T Controls products and support EMI products through requirements, design decisions, technical risk, controlled change, release, and lifecycle support.
  • Maintain alignment among drawings, hardware, firmware/software, bills of material, test records, manuals, and released product configuration.

Electrical, Embedded, and Controls Design
  • Develop coordinated electrical packages, including schematics, interconnects, I/O documentation, layouts, calculations, component selections, and bill-of-material alignment.
  • Design or review embedded hardware in KiCad or Altium and develop or troubleshoot microcontroller software in C/C++, including UART and I2C device communications.
  • Develop or integrate PLC, HMI, SCADA, instrumentation, industrial-network, and related control-system solutions as applicable to the product.

Validation and Product Lifecycle
  • Plan and execute design reviews, bench tests, design verification, acceptance testing, and discrepancy closure using clear criteria and objective evidence.
  • Troubleshoot non-routine electrical, embedded, and controls issues; identify root cause, implement authorized corrections, and verify results.
  • Support new-product and product-improvement work through trade studies, prototypes, failure analysis, controlled release, and production/service handoff.

Technical Writing and Channel Support
  • Create and update technical manuals for new and existing products, including installation, operation, maintenance, configuration, and troubleshooting content as applicable.
  • Communicate technical status, risks, product changes, limitations, and corrective actions to internal teams, vendors, customers, distributors, and field personnel.

Required Technical Profile
AREAEXPECTED CAPABILITYElectrical designAutoCAD or comparable tools; schematics, one-lines, wiring/interconnect diagrams, I/O documentation, panel or cabinet layouts, and controlled releases.Embedded designWorking knowledge of KiCad and/or Altium; microcontrollers, C/C++, UART, I2C, hardware/firmware interfaces, bring-up, and debugging.ControlsPractical PLC, HMI, or SCADA experience; sequences, alarms, interlocks, instrumentation, I/O, and system architecture.CommunicationsIndustrial and embedded networking concepts such as Modbus, CAN/J1939, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, UART, and I2C.VerificationTest plans, acceptance criteria, electrical test equipment, structured fault isolation, root-cause analysis, and documented results.DocumentationClear engineering records and user-facing technical manuals that support production, distribution, installation, service, and product lifecycle needs.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related discipline; equivalent relevant engineering experience may be considered.
  • 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering, controls, automation, embedded systems, OEM product-development, or systems-integration experience.
  • Demonstrated ownership of product- or subsystem-level engineering work with normal technical review.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills across engineering, production, service, vendors, customers, and distributors.
  • Ability to manage priorities, dependencies, and deadlines while producing safe, accurate, reviewable, and maintainable work.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience designing or integrating products for industrial automation, transportation, energy, manufacturing, mobile equipment, or another regulated or high-reliability environment.
  • Experience leading vendor evaluations, technical trade studies, customer design reviews, FAT/SAT activities, or small R&D projects.
  • Relevant training or certification in electrical design, PLC/HMI/SCADA platforms, industrial networking, cybersecurity, functional safety, NEC/NFPA, or UL 508A.
  • Marine, shipboard, or classification-society experience (such as ABS, DNV, Lloyd's Register, or USCG requirements) is a plus, but is not required. Candidates with strong transferable industrial or systems-engineering experience are encouraged to apply.

Work Environment
Work is primarily performed in engineering office and laboratory settings, with periodic work in production, test, customer, distributor, or field environments. Occasional travel may be required for supplier or distributor visits, testing, installation, commissioning, training, or troubleshooting.
