Intermediate-level Electrical Controls Engineer

URGENT NEED!

Overview

We are seeking a highly driven
Controls Engineer to design, program, and integrate advanced automation and robotic systems for manufacturing and process environments. This position blends hands‑on engineering, creative problem‑solving, and technical innovation — ideal for candidates who thrive at the intersection of hardware, software, and intelligent vision‑based control.

You’ll work across all phases of a project — from concept and design through installation, commissioning, and long‑term support — collaborating closely with mechanical, electrical, and software teams to deliver high‑performing, reliable, and elegant automation solutions.

We’re looking for engineers who aren’t just programmers, but
builders, troubleshooters, and innovators
— people who can visualize a system, bring it to life, and refine it to perfection.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with cross‑functional teams — mechanical, electrical, and project engineers — to plan and execute automation system designs.

Interface directly with clients to define requirements, address technical challenges, and ensure system functionality aligns with expectations.

Provide oversight and guidance for panel design, wiring, and system integration.

Participate in project reviews, field commissioning, and on‑site installations.

Design, program, and troubleshoot complex electromechanical control systems.

Develop and debug PLC, HMI, servo, robot, and
machine vision applications.

  • Vision:
    Keyence, Cognex, Fanuc IRV are preferred

Perform in‑house testing, system runoffs, and ensure field performance meets all safety and performance standards.

Collaborate on mechanical and control system modifications to meet evolving project requirements.

Maintain rigorous documentation for control logic, electrical prints, and integration standards.

Commission and support automated manufacturing systems both in‑house and at client facilities.

Diagnose and resolve issues in PLCs, HMIs, robots, and vision systems.

Provide high‑quality technical support post‑installation to ensure sustained system performance.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Controls, Mechatronics, or related Engineering field.

2+ years of hands‑on experience in controls programming, automation integration, or industrial robotics.

Proven experience with one or more major PLC/HMI platforms (Allen Bradley, Siemens, Omron, GE, etc.).

  • Vision experience:
    Keyence, Cognex, Fanuc IRV are preferred

Technical Skills

Strong background in PLC, HMI, and motion control (VFD, servo systems).

Preferred experience in
robotic programming and
machine vision integration
.

Proficiency in reading and creating electrical schematics and control documentation.

Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical, industrial networks (Ether Net/IP, Profinet, etc.), and safety circuits.

Excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to perform hands‑on field modifications.

Professional Attributes

Self‑motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple priorities.

Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving approach.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Willingness to travel (up to ~30%) for installation and commissioning activities.
