Controls Engineer — Precision Industrial Cleaning Systems | Mason, OH; On-Site

We build precision industrial cleaning systems that large manufacturers rely on in their production operations - high-value, configured-to-order machines ranging from $300K to over $1M each. We're growing, and we're looking for a Controls Engineer to join our team on-site in Mason, Ohio.

This is a role for someone who wants to own controls end-to-end - from schematic to startup - on complex, one-of-a-kind machines, and see their work run in the field at some of the largest manufacturers in the country.

What you'll do:

• Design PLC programs using Beckhoff TwinCAT
• Design electrical controls architecture in AutoCAD Electrical - schematics and panel layouts
• Design and build HMI programs (we use Copa-Data Zenon - we'll train you if you're strong on the fundamentals)
• Generate electrical bills of material and partner with Purchasing on procurement
• Debug, test, and start up new machines
• Support the build team and installation/service team with controls troubleshooting
• Produce machine manuals and documentation
• Research and design controls improvements
• Work closely with Project Managers to deliver on scope and budget

What we're looking for:

• Solid PLC and HMI experience - Beckhoff TwinCAT (Structured Text Programming) is a strong plus.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical for schematics and panel design
• Working knowledge of Ignition or other SCADA based systems
• Hands-on comfort: someone who's debugged and started up real machines, not just written code
• Ability to read a build, spot electrical issues, and solve them on the floor
• Willingness to travel occasionally (~5%) for on-site installation and service - rare, but expected now and then

Important - please read:

This is a full-time, on-site role at our Mason, Ohio facility. We are hiring locally and are looking for candidates in the Greater Cincinnati area only. We are not offering relocation for this position.

• Work on genuinely interesting, high-value machines
• Small, close team where your work is visible and your judgment matters
• A growing company scaling up its production

If you're a controls engineer in the Cincinnati area who likes owning problems end-to-end, we'd like to hear from you.
