PLC Controls Engineer

Overview

The PLC Controls Engineer I implements electrical projects for an integrated system or sub-system. The Engineer provides planning, reporting and management of the electrical project, in addition to technical implementation. Takes full ownership of the electrical project elements and executes (and/or delegates) individual tasks throughout the project life cycle by coordinating and forecasting electrical resources in-house and on site (may include other Software Project Engineers).

The Engineer takes a systems approach in understanding core design features, project elements, overall electrical architecture and manages the scope, budget, schedule, maintaining internal and external customer expectations throughout the project life cycle. You will report directly to our Software Engineer Manager, and you’ll work out of our Mason, Ohio location on a Hybrid work schedule.
