Sr Controls Engineer

Oshkosh Corporation•Orlando, FL

About The Position

The Sr Controls Engineer works within the Sustaining Engineering organization to support, maintain, and enhance control systems across all Ground Support Equipment (GSE) product lines. This role focuses on hands-on hardware and software controls design, troubleshooting, and implementation in support of production, obsolescence management, and customer-driven product options. The Sr Controls Engineer owns smaller projects or subsystems of limited complexity and progressively takes on greater technical ownership with limited supervision.
