Control Systems Specialist IV

Join an experienced engineering team at BW Systems where you’ll work on complex, customized automation solutions that power manufacturing equipment and industrial processes. This is an opportunity to apply your controls expertise to challenging projects involving PLCs, motion control, material handling, process automation, robotics, and advanced control systems.

What You’ll Work On

Help bring complex industrial automation systems to life from design and programming through commissioning and startup.

Design, develop, and deploy PLC and HMI/SCADA programs using the Allen-Bradley Logix platform, including Studio 5000 / RSLogix 5000.

Program and commission high-speed, multi-axis synchronized motion systems using Kinetix servo drives, virtual master axes, electronic gearing, and camming.

Design and optimize automated material handling systems, including accumulation conveyors, sortation systems, palletizers, and AGV/AMR handoffs.

Develop product tracking, merging, diverting, barcode/RFID scanning, and routing logic for high-throughput production and logistics systems.

Design and optimize web handling systems, including tension control, winding/unwinding, and registration.

Develop control strategies for extrusion processes, including temperature, pressure, and line-speed synchronization.

Implement complex batch process sequences following industry standards such as ISA-88.

Design, tune, and troubleshoot advanced PID control loops, including cascade, ratio, and feed-forward control.

Integrate robotics, vision systems, instrumentation, and third-party equipment into industrial control networks.

Work with industrial communication protocols including EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet.

Perform factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), troubleshooting, commissioning, and system startup.

Design and implement machine safety systems using Allen-Bradley GuardLogix controllers and safety-rated components.

Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including functional design specifications, control philosophies, I/O lists, cause-and-effect matrices, and as-built code documentation.

Collaborate with engineers, designers, technicians, customers, and project teams to deliver successful automation solutions.
