Responsibilities of the Senior Electrical Controls Engineer

• Design, develop and maintain the electrical controls for high technology automation projects that are all one-of-a-kind and not run-of-the-mill projects whereas you would be normally doing the same mundane electrical controls development on a daily basis - instead, you will be working on new, unique projects including the advanced integration for end of arm tooling, insert and injection molding, and many other applications

• Use your knowledge with machine vision and integration with Cognex, Keyence or iRVision
• Use AutoCAD Electrical (preferred) or EPLAN to design the UL compliant schematics for automation (24 VDC, 120/240/480 VAC) and apply your knowledge of the use of automation upgrades from companies such as Kinetix, Festo, IAI and/or THK
• Be able to integrate Fanuc (preferred), ABB, Cloos, Yaskawa Motoman, KUKA, Kawasaki, Doosan, Wittman, Denso or Epson robots into an automated system

Requirements of the Senior Electrical Controls Engineer

• At least 7 years of electrical controls engineering experience in manufacturing automation with 10+ years strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar engineering type of technical discipline is a plus but not mandatory
• Be willing to travel up to 15% locally and domestically to meet with customers on installs but travel is more likely to be around 5% as this is an on-the-shop-floor in-house position and working remotely is not available
• No sponsorship or relocation assistance is available and local candidates are preferred

The annual base salary for this first shift position ranges from $120,000 to $150,000 depending on experience and is expected to be within this range.
