Lead Controls​/Electrical Engineer - Magnet Systems

We are looking for a Controls / Electrical Engineer to take ownership of controls and electrical systems for a growing line of complex industrial equipment within our Magnet Systems group. This is not a narrow programming role. It requires a mix of controls, electrical problem-solving, and practical engineering judgment. This role will play a key part in shaping and scaling a standardized controls and electrical architecture for next‑generation equipment.

The right person will be comfortable operating in an environment with multiple inputs, limited structure, and a need to balance short‑term execution with long‑term improvement.

• Ownership of controls and electrical systems for Magnet Systems equipment
• PLC/HMI development, integration, and troubleshooting
• Supporting development of a standardized controls and electrical architecture
• Diagnosing problems that may cross controls, electrical, and mechanical boundaries
• Working with customers, vendors, and internal teams to resolve issues
• Supporting both new equipment and existing installed systems
• Travel is required for startup, commissioning, and customer support

• Strong experience with industrial controls (PLC/HMI development and troubleshooting)
• Ability to work across multiple platforms (e.g., Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, or similar)
• Solid understanding of electrical systems (power, circuits, and troubleshooting)
• Ability to read and develop electrical schematics

• Takes full ownership of electrical and controls architecture and drives problems through to resolution with limited day‑to‑day direction
• Comfortable working in ambiguous situations with incomplete information
• Able to operate independently while coordinating with multiple stakeholders
• Able to represent the company professionally when working with customers and partners
• Willingness to travel and support systems in the field when needed

• Experience with high‑current systems, motors, coils, or power electronics
• Exposure to multiple controls platforms beyond a single OEM
• Experience with SCADA platforms (e.g., Ignition)
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols and system integration
• Experience contributing to or leading standardization of controls platforms or electrical architectures

• Background in custom equipment, low‑volume manufacturing, or system integration
• Experience working directly with customers or in field service roles
• Exposure to working with external vendors or international partners

• Experience with magnetic systems, heating systems, or other physics‑driven equipment
• Familiarity with simulation tools or modeling (electrical, thermal, or similar)
• Prior experience in a role requiring both engineering and field support
