Controls Engineer

Controls Engineer | Build It. Program It. Make It Work.

Some engineers maintain machines. Others bring them to life.

If you enjoy taking a custom automation project from concept to a fully functioning machine, this opportunity deserves a look.

We're looking for a Controls Engineer who loves solving problems, writing code, integrating robotics and motion systems, and making complex equipment do exactly what it's supposed to do.

What makes this interesting?

• Real engineering: Design, program, troubleshoot, and commission custom automation systems.

• Variety: PLCs, HMIs, robotics, servo motion, vision systems, and industrial networks.

• Ownership: Follow your projects from initial design through startup and customer acceptance.

• Collaboration: Work directly with mechanical engineers, electricians, and project teams.

• Challenge: Different machines, different problems, and opportunities to lead projects.

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of hands-on controls engineering experience.

• Strong Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC programming skills.

• Experience integrating HMIs, motion controls, sensors, and industrial equipment.

• The ability to troubleshoot, solve problems, and get equipment running.

• Willingness to travel up to 25% for commissioning and customer support.

If you enjoy seeing a machine come to life because of the work you did, let's talk.

Interested? Send me a resume or message me directly for a confidential conversation.
