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.

Job description

Controls Engineer - Motor & Motion Control Systems
Company Overview:
Allen Control Systems (ACS) is a cutting-edge defense startup, founded by two former Navy electrical engineers with a proven track record in robotics and software. We are developing a small, autonomous gun turret that employs advanced computer vision and control systems to precisely target and neutralize small drones and loitering munitions. Our innovative approach requires overcoming significant technical challenges, making this an exciting and dynamic environment for experienced engineers.
With an engineering-first culture, ACS values technical excellence and innovation. Backed by our founders' successful exits from two previous ventures acquired for a combined $180M in 2022, we are committed to ensuring that the groundbreaking technologies we develop will have a real-world impact.
About The Role:
We are looking for a Controls Engineer to join our team, focusing on robot dynamics and controls, motor controls, and precision real-time systems that power our next-generation autonomous weapon platforms. This role requires strong experience with Python and controls development, with additional exposure to C, C++ and MATLAB being helpful but not mandatory. This is a unique opportunity to work in a fast-paced startup environment on systems where your work directly influences system performance and mission success.
What You'll Do:
  • Develop and refine motor control systems for high-precision actuation in real-time applications.
  • Build simulation and testing tools in C++ or Python to validate control systems.
  • Collaborate closely with embedded software engineers, hardware teams, and computer vision specialists to integrate control systems into our autonomous platforms.
  • Analyze system dynamics and performance, and develop solutions for complex control challenges.
  • Support system integration, tuning, and field testing of autonomous systems.
  • Document control strategies, algorithms, and performance metrics.
  • Stay current with advancements in control theory, robotics, and real-time systems.

What You'll Need:
  • A strong passion for controls engineering and autonomous systems.
  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Robotics, or related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in controls engineering with proven proficiency in Python.
  • Experience developing flight control systems, motor control algorithms, or real-time motion control applications.
  • Familiarity with control theory, PID tuning, state estimation, and feedback control loops.
  • Knowledge of system identification methods and algorithms and robotics motion control strategies.
  • Experience with simulation environments and test frameworks (Python-based preferred).
  • Understanding of real-time constraints and hardware-software integration challenges.
  • Comfortable with Git, CI/CD workflows, and writing clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
  • A desire to work in a highly collaborative, fast-paced startup environment.

You'll Stand Out:
  • Experience with embedded systems programming C/C++.
  • Familiarity with Python or MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation.
  • Experience developing autonomous aerial or ground robotic platforms.
  • Familiarity with sensor fusion, state estimation, and Kalman filtering.
  • Familiarity with MIMO systems and adaptive and nonlinear control mechanisms.
  • Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing environments.
  • Prior experience with ruggedized defense or aerospace systems.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary
  • ACS Equity Package
  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
