Senior Controls Engineer

A bit about the company:

• Strategic Growth Stage: The company is rapidly expanding its engineering organization as demand for warehouse automation continues to accelerate. This role offers the opportunity to make an immediate impact while helping scale a cutting-edge automation platform.
• Mission-Driven Innovation: The company is transforming logistics through flexible automation by replacing traditional fixed conveyors and storage systems with intelligent, spatially aware robotics. Their technology enables dynamic storage, retrieval, and movement of goods, helping customers address labor shortages, rising operational costs, and increasing efficiency demands.
• Impactful Work: Engineers work on highly integrated systems that combine advanced robotics, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), conveyance, sortation, and intelligent software into a unified automation platform. This is an opportunity to contribute to real-world systems that are deployed across large-scale industrial environments.
• Career Opportunities: This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership and technical responsibility. You'll work directly on machine development, controls architecture, hardware integration, and onsite commissioning, gaining exposure to large-scale automation projects that are uncommon in many traditional controls engineering positions.

We're looking for someone who has:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Science, Robotics, or equivalent controls engineering experience.
• 5+ years of experience developing industrial control systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with Beckhoff PLCs and TwinCAT (required).
• Proficiency programming in Structured Text (IEC 61131-3).
• Comfortable troubleshooting both hardware and software, including work inside electrical control cabinets.
• Background in industrial automation, preferably within material handling, robotics, warehouse automation, or similar machine automation environments.
• Willing and able to travel up to 30% for onsite system commissioning and customer deployments.
• Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area.
