About The Position

As a Controls Engineer, you are the bridge between digital logic and physical production. You will be responsible for the "central nervous system" of our manufacturing facility—designing, programming, and maintaining the automated systems that keep our plant running at peak efficiency. You will split your time between high-level project engineering (designing the future) and hands-on technical support (optimizing the present).

Requirements

• Deep proficiency in PLC programming (Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.) and HMI/SCADA development.
• Experience with Servos, VFDs, and complex motion controller programs.
• Strong understanding of industrial Ethernet, hardware protocols, and Windows-based control environments.
• Ability to read, interpret, and modify complex electrical schematics and P&IDs.
• A "systems-thinking" mindset—the ability to see how a software change impacts a mechanical output.
• Proficient in PLC Troubleshooting Skills
• Proficient in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Troubleshooting Skills
• Proficient in 120/208/240/480 Voltage Systems
• Proficient in Industrial Robot Programming
• Proficient in Electrical Installation
• Proficient in Process Engineering
• Proficient in Production Optimization
• Proficient in Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Proficient in PLC Programming Experience
• Proficient in Electrical / Electronic Systems
• Proficient in High Voltage Systems
• Proficient in Industrial Electrical Experience
• Proficient in Industrial Electrical Systems
• Proficient in Electrical Schematic Reading
• Proficient in Equipment Installation & Wiring

Responsibilities

• Design, specify, and manage the installation of new control systems, including PLCs, HMIs, and Windows-based Area Control Systems.
• Lead equipment upgrades and modifications, applying electrical theory to improve machine speed, safety, and reliability.
• Act as the technical lead for new equipment commissions, from initial planning and vendor management to final floor implementation.
• Serve as the Tier 3 expert for complex electrical or mechanical malfunctions, identifying root causes that go beyond basic part replacement.
• Analyze machine data to minimize downtime and improve product recovery and quality.
• Implement and oversee periodic electrical testing and preventative maintenance schedules for all automation hardware.
• Train maintenance technicians and electricians on advanced troubleshooting and corrective maintenance for automated systems.
• Maintain the plant’s "Source of Truth"—ensuring all PLC/HMI programs, network schematics, and electrical drawings are backed up and reflect current "as-built" conditions.
• Develop facility-wide standards for electrical components and programming logic to ensure consistency across all production lines.
