HP Page Wide Web Press Controls Systems Engineer

Description -

The Industrial Controls Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, commissioning, and supporting industrial machine control systems that operate high‑speed production equipment, with a direct impact on system uptime, product quality, and production throughput. This role focuses on delivering modular, scalable, and standardized control architectures that enable reliable operation, faster commissioning, and efficient long‑term support across machine platforms.

The position emphasizes configuration‑driven control solutions and reusable software components over monolithic, custom PLC implementations. Working closely with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and operations teams, the Industrial Controls Engineer ensures that control system design supports stable continuous operation, precise process control, and rapid fault recovery in complex industrial environments.

The role operates within an Agile SCRUM development model, contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery commitments to ensure predictable, incremental delivery of control system capabilities aligned with program milestones.

• Design, develop, and maintain PLC‑based control systems for industrial machinery
• Implement modular, reusable, and configurable control architectures to support scalability across platforms
• Develop sequencing logic, state machines, and process control aligned with equipment performance requirements
• Promote software standardization and best practices across product lines

• Develop and maintain operator interfaces for machine control and monitoring
• Implement alarm visualization, user roles, diagnostics, and recipe management
• Ensure HMI designs support usability, maintainability, and consistent operator workflows

• Configure and commission motion systems, drives, and industrial I/O
• Integrate industrial communication protocols for machine‑to‑machine and higher‑level system connectivity
• Tune and validate system performance to meet throughput and quality targets

• Design, implement, and validate machine safety solutions in compliance with applicable safety standards
• Collaborate with electrical and mechanical teams to ensure safety architecture supports both compliance and machine performance
• Support safety commissioning, validation, and documentation activities

• Commission machines in factory and customer environments
• Diagnose and resolve control system, motion, and HMI issues
• Support Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)
• Optimize system behavior using diagnostics, logging, and performance data

• Collaborate with electrical engineering on control system design and compliance
• Interface with machine safety systems
• Coordinate with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure system readiness

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related discipline(or equivalent combination of education and experience)
