This is an exciting career opportunity to sit within a Manufacturing Technology & Engineering (MT&E) organization on the Automation Controls Systems Engineering team. This group functions as an internal engineering consulting group supporting our manufacturing operations by designing and implementing automation used to run machines and processes across a variety of capital and manufacturing projects. Your overall roles and responsibilities will include:

• Serve as a senior technical leader on complex automation and controls projects, defining architecture, driving technical decisions, and supporting implementation from concept through startup.

• Interface with internal R&D, Engineering, and Manufacturing teams involved in the innovation and manufacture of new products and machine systems across our businesses.
• Integrate commercially available technologies and effectively leverage external machine builders and system integrators to execute capital and manufacturing projects.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams including process engineers, controls engineers, and optical and glass scientists.
• Support projects through all phases of execution: design, build, installation, commissioning, and startup.

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or Electrical Engineering Technology required.
• 10+ years of industry experience in industrial controls and automation.
• Strong experience with PLC, HMI, and SCADA systems; hands‑on programming experience with Rockwell/Allen‑Bradley required; familiarity with Siemens and/or Omron a plus.
• Experience leading controls scope for automation or capital projects, including working with or directing system integrators, OEMs, machine builders, or contractors.

• Ability to travel up to 50% domestically in support of project installation, commissioning, and startup activities.

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a growth‑driven team supporting major automation and capital initiatives across new capabilities, factory expansions, and automation implementation. The role offers broader ownership than a traditional site‑based controls position, with exposure to the full project lifecycle from design, build, installation, startup, and commissioning.

It's an opportunity to work with a leading global innovator company with technologies spanning life sciences, mobile consumer electronics, optical communications, display, automotive, and solar industries.

This position offers an industry-leading overall compensation and benefits package including a competitive base salary, annual bonus + LTIs, 401K & pension benefits, and comprehensive healthcare and wellness plan. A relocation package is also provided for this position.
