Job description

POSITION OVERVIEW

Provide technical leadership and design of electrical controls and PLC programming of a diverse range of custom automated systems. The diversity of the systems requires a strong aptitude to grasp a wide range of processes and components. The systems consist of a variety of electrical, hydraulic, mechanical and measurement components including:

  • PLC and an associated ladder logic program
  • Human-machine interface (HMI) and associated programming
  • AC motor controls (e.g. contactors and/or variable speed drives)
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic components
  • Electro-mechanical components
  • Pressure Transducers, Temperature Transmitters, Flow Meters, Level Sensor, Encoders, etc.
  • Proximity sensors, Relays, Pushbuttons
  • Machine Safety: Safety Controllers, Light Curtains, Scanners, Guard Door Switches, etc.
  • Other standard electrical control components

The Controls Engineer will work closely with the Project Manager, Systems Engineer and Client to accomplish the electrical control and programming requirements of each system. The control engineer will be responsible for establishing design concepts and budgets, executing the design and programming and working with system technicians to build the systems. Execution requires meeting the delivery schedule and budgets as established for purchased components and assembly costs.

 RESPONSIBILITIES & REQUIRED SKILLS

  1. Strong technical understanding and experience concerning the design of electrical control systems for custom machines and PLC and HMI programming. Allen-Bradley or Siemens are typical.
  2. Effective leadership and communication to provide technical direction to other disciplines.
  3. Develop electrical control concepts to meet Customer requirements and present those concepts verbally and in written quotations.
  4. Accurately estimate all required electrical control system costs. This includes but is not limited to design labor, programming labor, build labor, purchased hardware costs and commissioning.
  5. Knowledge of AutoCAD Electrical or SOLIDWORKS Electrical CAD software to create, modify and/or review electrical control designs is required. Experience using SOLIDWORKS Electrical strongly preferred.
  6. Work closely with the project team and/or Customer representatives as required to review and modify design functionality.
