Job Description:
Supports the design and implementation of controls-based solutions for Client future processing equipment, specifically fiber making and cable process equipment, in the optical waveguide and cabling manufacturing processes. These controls solutions will enable manufacturing systems to deliver and transform raw materials to product, convey ware between discrete processing steps, and/or measure and characterize ware created and/or processed by these Client manufacturing methods.

Day to Day Responsibilities:
· Integrate field devices for flow control, material handling and metering, motion control, temperature control, and associated safety systems based the system design package enabling a fully functional equipment platform.

· Work closely with controls engineers to implement control sequence logic (both time-based and event-based), fail-safe states, and process /equipment recovery sequences.
· Implement specified field devices to accomplish desired process / equipment functions, and compatible / compliant with site standards.
· Accurately estimate timeframe to complete assigned project work once scope of work is adequately defined and then complete work to agreed-to timeline.
· Participate in engineering project teams that are responsible to deliver robust, cost effective automation and process machine systems to ***'s manufacturing plants and processes.
· Work within project teams to support the solving of difficult automation problems, resolution of project related issues, and development of fundamental understanding of technical / process requirements critical to system success.
· Drive the deployment of defined control architectures, control system standards, and system integration that will satisfy process and manufacturing requirements.
· Interface with external system integrators and machine builders to enable project deliverables.
· Actively participate in project fabrication, off-line integration and testing, drawings and documentation, installation, production start-up support, training of plant personnel, and technology transfer.
· Report to project leader on assigned project activities on a pre-determined basis.

Required Education: • Two-year technical degree
Required Years and Area of Experience: • 3+ years equipment/controls experience

Required Skills:
· Experience integrating field devices for flow control, material handling and metering, motion control, temperature control, and associated safety systems into an overall controls package enabling a fully functional equipment platform.
· Experience with PID control loop tuning and techniques.
· Experience working closely with IT & process engineers to implement control sequence logic (both time-based and event-based), fail-safe states and process / equipment recovery sequences.
· Experience with graphical user interface and human machine interface.
· Experience working within engineering project teams.
· Accurately estimates timeframe to complete assigned project work, once scope of work is adequately defined, then completes work to agreed-to timeline.
· Understanding of electrical design practices, machine / motion control systems, electro-mechanical systems, robotics, programming, and system integration.
· Demonstrated ability to support the development and delivery of fully integrated machine and motion control, automation, and process machine systems and solutions within a manufacturing environment.
