Build It. Program It. Start It Up.

Our client is a control engineering and integration firm that designs, builds, programs, and commissions custom automation systems for industrial machines and processes.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, program, test, debug, and commission PLC and HMI systems
  • Own projects from electrical design and panel layout through programming, startup, and customer handoff
  • Lead field startups and troubleshoot systems independently
  • Program and tune VFDs, servo systems, and multi-axis motion
  • Develop electrical schematics using AutoCAD Electrical
  • Apply UL 508A standards to control-panel design and construction
  • Work directly with customers to troubleshoot systems and train operators
  • Support project quoting, scoping, and estimating
  • Collaborate with a small team of controls engineers, technicians, and customers

What You Bring

  • 5+ years designing and commissioning industrial control systems
  • 2-year degree in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronics, or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Strong Studio 5000 / Logix PLC programming experience
  • HMI development experience
  • Hands-on VFD and servo/motion experience
  • AutoCAD Electrical proficiency
  • Working knowledge of UL 508A or the electrical fundamentals to learn it quickly
  • Experience independently starting up and troubleshooting industrial systems in the field
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% and work extended hours during commissioning

Nice to have: RSLogix 500, FactoryTalk View SE, sales/bidding/estimating experience, or established industrial automation relationships.

Why Join?

This is a senior seat on a small team where you can make decisions, own your work, and see projects move from engineering to production. The role offers a path into leadership as our client continues to grow.

Remote/hybrid candidates are encouraged to apply. The right candidate can work from the Twin Cities, Southern Minnesota, or Western Wisconsin, with time on-site for onboarding, panel builds, and startups.
