  • Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Electrical, Build, and Project Management teams to ensure seamless system integration and successful project execution.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex automation challenges, driving root-cause analysis and implementing long-term solutions.
  • Mentor and support fellow controls engineers by sharing technical knowledge, reviewing code, and promoting engineering best practices.
  • Partner directly with customers and vendors to define technical requirements, select components, and deliver automation solutions that exceed expectations.
  • Continuously improve programming standards, engineering processes, and automation technologies while helping shape the future of our controls team.

  • Working knowledge of motion control, safety systems, electrical schematics, and automation system integration.
  • Experience supporting projects through the full lifecycle, from concept and design through commissioning and customer startup.
  • Proven ability to troubleshoot complex automation systems and develop effective technical solutions.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering disciplines and directly with customers.
  • A passion for mentoring others, sharing technical knowledge, and contributing to a collaborative engineering culture.
  • Willing to travel approximately 10% - 20%.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with robot simulation and offline programming.
  • Familiarity with FactoryTalk View, Ignition, or similar HMI platforms.
  • Experience with servo systems, VFDs, vision systems, and machine safety.
  • Previous experience mentoring junior engineers.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, or related field.

Benefits:
  • Comprehensive benefits package with eligibility immediately upon hire.
