What You Will Do:
  • Design, develop, program, and maintain PLC‑based control systems for advanced medical waste processing equipment,
  • Integrate, program, and commission industrial robots for material handling, sorting, and automated processing
  • Design, implement, and optimize machine vision systems for detection, classification, inspection, and process verification
  • Train, tune, and validate vision models to ensure accuracy, robustness, and regulatory compliance
  • Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, robotics, and software engineering teams to deliver fully integrated automation solutions
  • Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis across controls, robotics, and vision systems
  • Prepare and review electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic control drawings for new equipment and system upgrades
  • Develop system documentation including functional specifications, control narratives, operator manuals, maintenance documentation, and validation protocols
  • Ensure all control system designs comply with applicable US medical waste, environmental, and machine safety regulations
  • Work closely with suppliers, system integrators, and external service providers to deliver projects on time and to specification
  • Drive continuous improvement in automation performance, reliability, safety, and sustainability
About You:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline
  • 8+ years of experience in a controls or automation engineering role
  • Strong PLC and HMI programming experience with platforms such as Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff, or Automation
  • Direct Hands‑on industrial robotics experience including programming, commissioning, and safety integration (FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Hyundai, or similar)
  • Strong machine vision experience using Cognex, Keyence, OpenCV, or comparable systems
  • Solid understanding of industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, Modbus, and OPC UA
  • Experience with motion control, servo systems, and safety‑rated automation components
  • Ability to read and create electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings
  • Experience working in regulated or safety‑critical environments such as medical, pharmaceutical, or waste processing is highly desirable
  • Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem‑solving skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across cross‑functional teams
  • Ability to work independently and manage projects with multiple stakeholders and vendors
  • Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required
Why Join Daniels?
  • Work on large‑scale, complex industrial automation systems with real‑world impact
  • Be part of a rapidly growing organization investing heavily in robotics, machine vision, and advanced controls
  • High autonomy with strong engineering influence and end‑to‑end system ownership
  • Career growth aligned with a scaling US and global business
  • Purpose‑driven work in a highly regulated, safety‑critical environment
