** How You’ll Make a Difference
** As a Sr. Controls/Automation Engineer, you’ll be a trusted technical leader on our automation team, helping guide engineering decisions, strengthen our processes, and deliver reliable solutions our customers can count on.  

Your role will balance big-picture leadership with hands-on engineering. One day, you might be helping design a controls architecture or advising our sales team on a new opportunity. The next, you could be troubleshooting a system on-site, mentoring an engineer, or leading a customer through a successful go-live.  You'll have the opportunity to influence how we work, build confidence across our teams, and help us take on increasingly sophisticated automation projects.

** What You’ll Do**
* ** Lead with expertise and ownership.
** Guide controls engineering across multiple projects, from system design and PLC/HMI programming to commissioning, testing, and go-live. Help teams make sound technical decisions while keeping safety, quality, and customer needs at the center.
* ** Be the technical partner others count on.
** Work alongside sales, project managers, software engineers, installation teams, and customers to solve challenges, evaluate technology, and ensure electrical, mechanical, controls, and software systems work together seamlessly.
* ** Strengthen our team and partnerships.
** Mentor developing engineers, guide internal teams, and provide technical oversight of subcontracted automation partners. Review designs, project scope, deliverables, and acceptance testing to reduce risk and ensure commitments are met.
* ** Help us keep getting better.
** Shape engineering standards, improve processes, and bring practical ideas that make our systems more reliable, our teams more effective, and our customers more successful.  
** What You’ll Bring**
* ** Deep automation experience.
** 7+ years in controls engineering, ideally in conveyor systems, material handling, or warehouse automation, plus a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
* ** Strong technical know-how.
** Proficiency with Allen-Bradley PLCs, HMI systems, and AutoCAD, along with experience in barcode scanning, high-speed sortation, scales, labeling systems, and industrial electrical and safety standards. Familiarity with WCS, WES, or WMS is a plus.
* ** A leader's mindset with a hands-on approach.
** The ability to guide engineers, evaluate third-party automation solutions, manage technical risk, and communicate clearly with customers and cross-functional teams. You’re equally comfortable leading a technical discussion and rolling up your sleeves to solve a problem.
* ** A commitment to being where the work happens.
** You live in the greater Dallas–Fort Worth area and are comfortable working regularly at our customer site…
