Job Posting: Controls Engineering Intern

Job Title: Controls Engineering Intern
Location: Harpak-ULMA, 85 Independence Dr, Taunton, MA 02780
Duration: Dual Semester (6 months)
Department: Engineering
Reports To: Controls & Innovation Manager

About the Role:

Hey future engineer! Looking to gain hands-on experience in automation and control systems while working with a team that actually values your input? Harpak-ULMA is looking for a Controls Engineering Intern to dive into the world of PLC programming, HMI design, and electrical systems. You won't be grabbing coffee-you'll be working on real-world projects alongside experienced engineers.

Located at our Taunton, MA facility, you'll also get exposure to our manufacturing processes, shop, training center, and R&D projects-so there's never a dull moment.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Designing, developing, and testing control systems for automation and manufacturing.
  • Supporting PLC programming and troubleshooting control logic.
  • Creating and modifying HMI (Human-Machine Interface) screens for system operations.
  • Assisting in electrical schematic design and wiring diagrams.
  • Performing system testing and validation to ensure everything runs smoothly and safely.
  • Troubleshooting hardware and software control issues.
  • Collaborating with service technicians, project managers, and software developers to bring ideas to life.
  • Documenting technical procedures, test results, and system configurations.
  • Bringing your ideas to team meetings-we love innovation!
Who You Are:
  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • Have some basic PLC programming knowledge (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar preferred).
  • Familiar with HMI development, SCADA systems, and industrial networks (bonus points!).
  • Comfortable working with electrical circuits, wiring diagrams, and control panel design.
  • A problem-solver with strong attention to detail.
  • A self-starter who can work independently but also thrives in a team setting.
  • A great communicator with solid written and verbal skills.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
Extra Skills That'll Make You Stand Out:
  • Experience with CAD software for electrical schematics (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, etc.).
  • Some knowledge of robotic systems and motion control.
  • Hands-on experience troubleshooting automation systems.
  • Exposure to industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, etc.).
Why You'll Love This Internship:
  • Work on real projects-not just busy work.
  • Mentorship from seasoned engineers who actually want to help you grow.
  • Networking opportunities with professionals in engineering and automation.
  • A chance to land a full-time job after graduation!

Harpak-ULMA is all about giving interns the space to learn, innovate, and contribute. If you're excited to apply your skills in an engaging, hands-on environment, we'd love to hear from you!
