Factory Technologies, Inc., a Systems Integrator located in Modesto CA., is currently seeking to hire a Sr. Controls Engineer (Ignition Specialist). This position requires development work within an office environment and support at client sites. This is not a remote role and is based in Modesto, CA.
Along with the traditional controls engineer technical skills, as a member of the FTI team, you will be most successful with the following non-technical skills/traits:

    • All team members need to strive for excellent communication skills; oral, written and listening.
    • Discuss task/milestone/project successes, failures, roadblocks with your team.
    • Let the team know of unexpected changes to the project and/or personal life schedule - as soon as you can. Text, phone, email - whatever it takes.
    • Let the team know of unexpected changes to the scope of work.
    • Provide daily updates on progress. Know your audience and cater your updates accordingly.
    • Feedback - ask for it and provide it respectfully.
  • Sharing/collaboration - share your time, your skills and the information you have gathered over the years. As a senior engineer, you will be expected to support/develop/lead/mentor junior engineers, drafter's, shop personnel and new employees.

  • Resilience - some days can be difficult. Some projects can be difficult. Remember that those difficult times are temporary.
  • Take care of yourself - everyone is different and you will be supported to avoid burnout. You need to be your own gatekeeper and communicate issues, goals and needs.
  • Participate - improvements can only be made with participation. Without participation, everything else is just complaining.
  • Time Management/prioritization - senior team members take on a lot of work and can be asked to be in two places at once. Prioritizing can be a daily challenge. Communicate your issues and come to the table with a proposed solution.
