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.

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.

We are seeking an experienced Staff Controls Engineer who is passionate about pushing beyond the cutting edge of the industry to design, build, and debug best-in-class controls systems for Redwood's battery recycling operations. This engineer will play a critical role in designing, commissioning, scaling, and supporting all of Redwood's recycling facilities working at the intersection of chemical process engineering, industrial automation, and software development.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Designing and implementing realtime control software in C++ for embedded and industrial systems
  • Developing automation tools, diagnostics, and orchestration scripts in Python
  • Writing, optimizing, and troubleshooting Structured Text (IEC 611313) for PLCs and industrial controllers
  • Building deterministic control loops, state machines, and safetycritical routines
  • Integrating software with sensors, actuators, drives, and industrial communication networks
  • Debugging complex issues involving timing, concurrency, hardware interfaces, and industrial protocols
  • Leading system architecture decisions for control platforms and distributed automation systems
  • Conducting rootcause analysis for field issues and implementing longterm fixes
  • Collaborating with controls, electrical, and product teams to translate requirements into robust software designs
  • Mentoring engineers in realtime programming, PLC development, and industrial best practices

Qualifications:

  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ for realtime or embedded systems
  • Solid experience with Python for automation, tooling, or data processing
  • Handson experience writing Structured Text for PLCs or industrial controllers
  • Deep understanding of deterministic execution, concurrency, and hardwaresoftware interaction
  • Experience with industrial protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP, OPC UA, or PROFINET
  • Proven ability to lead complex engineering efforts while contributing significant handson code
  • Strong debugging skills across software, hardware, and network layers
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with motion control, robotics, or process automation
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux, RTOS environments, or microcontroller development
  • Knowledge of industrial cybersecurity standards or best practices
  • Experience with simulation tools, digital twins, or hardwareintheloop testing
  • Background integrating C++ runtimes with PLC or SCADA systems
