Automation Controls Engineer

Join to apply for the Automation Controls Engineer role at Ergonomic Partners

As an Automation Engineer, you will be a hands‑on partner in our design and build process, bridging the gap between mechanical concepts and functional reality. You won't just be sitting behind a screen; you will actively participate in the full lifecycle of our custom automation solutions—from developing PLC programming and electrical schematics to the physical assembly and wiring of control panels.

Because every project we build is a custom‑engineered device, you will work closely with a collaborative team to solve unique challenges and ensure our machines are brought to life with precision and reliability.

• System Design & Programming:
  Develop electrical schematics and communication networks while utilizing Allen Bradley or Siemens STEP 7 to create robust programming solutions.
• Full‑Cycle Panel Building:
  Lead the physical layout, mounting, and wiring of control panels, ensuring every build matches technical specifications and quality standards.
• Integration & Troubleshooting:
  Work alongside the team to debug mechanical or electrical issues and provide site support during installation and testing at client locations.
• Shop
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Maintain an organized electrical workspace and assist with general shop tasks to keep our custom production flow moving efficiently.

We are seeking a detail‑oriented engineer with a 2‑ or 4‑year degree in Automation, Controls, or Electrical Engineering and 2‑3 years of experience in automated machinery development. You should be comfortable working with PLCs, HMIs, and Servo Controls, and have a solid grasp of CAD Software (i.e. Solid Works) for creating electrical schematics. Most importantly, you should enjoy a “tools‑in‑hand” environment where you are as comfortable wiring a system as you are programming it.

We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
