Industrial Automation Controls Hardware Engineer

Step into a day on our controls design team

You start by syncing with program managers and fellow controls engineers to confirm priorities and timelines. From there, you translate machine requirements into robust control architectures using EPLAN and AutoCAD/AutoCAD Electrical—laying out electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic circuits for custom machinery. As designs take shape, you generate accurate bills of materials to align procurement and build activities. Midday, you partner with Manufacturing Engineering to craft assembly, process control, and quality workmanship procedures that ensure what we design can be built reliably.

Throughout the day, you iterate quickly, communicate clearly, and keep the project on schedule. You wrap up by documenting updates and scanning the latest industry practices to keep your approach sharp.

What you will take on Design controls systems for one-of-a-kind machines leveraging EPLAN and AutoCAD/AutoCAD Electrical, including electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic schematics.
