Job Description

Join a collaborative and motivated automation team working across a range of manufacturing projects — from retrofits and upgrades to full greenfield systems. You’ll design and program controls systems that come to life on the plant floor, working with modern tools and supportive peers in a balanced, flexible environment.

Expect a culture built on teamwork, problem-solving, and innovation — where your ideas, experience, and technical knowledge are genuinely valued.

What You’ll Do

  • Own projects from design through start-up and commissioning
  • Specify components and develop control system architecture
  • Supervise drafting, layout, and panel fabrication
  • Develop PLC and HMI programs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Ignition, etc.)
  • Configure and tune VFDs, motion, and PID loops
  • Test, simulate, and troubleshoot systems in the field
  • Travel for commissioning and start-up (25%)

What You’ll Need

  • Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline
  • Experience with PLC/HMI development and controls design
  • Hands-on knowledge of industrial automation hardware and software
  • Strong problem-solving and mechanical aptitude
  • Team-oriented mindset and attention to quality
  • Valid driver’s license for travel

Tools & Platforms

  • PLC/HMI: Studio 5000, FactoryTalk ME/SE, TIA Portal, WinCC, Wonderware, Ignition
  • Hardware: ControlLogix, PowerFlex VFDs, Kinetix Motion, Siemens G120/S120

Preferred Experience

  • High-speed motion or coordinated drive systems
  • PLC-based safety design and programming
  • Advanced VFD and PID control strategies
  • P&ID development and UL 508A familiarity
  • Mentoring or leadership experience within an engineering team

What to expect:

  • Hybrid schedule with flexible hours
  • Base salary + annual and travel bonuses
  • Comprehensive benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401k match, paid holidays, PTO, etc.)
  • Collaborative and supportive engineering culture focused on continuous learning
