Build the Future of Automation

Are you a Controls Engineer who enjoys bringing custom automation systems to life?

Our client is a leading automation and robotics integrator that designs and builds custom solutions for manufacturers across a wide range of industries. From robotic welding and assembly systems to vision-guided automation and fully integrated production cells, their projects help customers improve productivity, quality, and efficiency through advanced automation technologies.

We're looking for a Controls Engineer who enjoys the full project lifecycle—from programming and system development through machine startup, commissioning, and customer support. If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges and working with cutting-edge automation technologies, this could be an excellent opportunity.

What You'll Do
As a Controls Engineer, you'll be responsible for developing, programming, testing, and commissioning custom automation systems for customers throughout North America.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop PLC and HMI programs from scratch for custom automation systems
  • Design and implement control solutions based on customer specifications and project requirements
  • Program and integrate robotics, vision systems, motion control systems, and other automation technologies
  • Perform machine debugging, testing, and validation to ensure reliable system performance
  • Participate in machine startup, commissioning, and customer acceptance activities
  • Work directly with customers to ensure project requirements and performance expectations are achieved

What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of PLC programming experience, including developing code from scratch
  • Experience with Allen-Bradley and/or Siemens PLC platforms
  • Experience integrating industrial robots such as FANUC, ABB, or KUKA
  • 3-5+ years supporting industrial automation, robotics, or custom machine build projects
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, engineering drawings, and technical documentation
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities

Bonus Experience
  • HMI development
  • Machine vision integration
  • Motion control systems
  • Startup and commissioning experience
  • Previous experience working for an automation integrator, robotics company, or custom machine builder
Travel
This position requires approximately 30-50% travel, primarily throughout North America, with occasional international travel for customer installations, system startups, and project support.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
  • Work on highly customized automation and robotics projects
  • Be involved throughout the entire project lifecycle—from design through startup and customer handoff
  • Exposure to advanced robotics, machine vision, motion control, and industrial automation technologies
  • Join a growing organization with a strong reputation in the automation industry
