Controls Engineer
We are looking for a Controls Engineer to join our growing team. We design and build custom robotic automation systems for manufacturers across the Midwest — and we're looking for someone who loves turning complex control challenges into reality.
In this role, you'll own the full lifecycle of industrial control systems. This is a design-heavy position — you'll spend the majority of your time on hardware architecture, schematic development, panel layouts, and component specification, with PLC and HMI programming as a strong secondary focus.
What You'll Do:
- Develop hardware architecture, panel layouts, and wiring schematics using AutoCAD Electrical
- Specify PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors, and perform load calculations and VFD sizing
- Design control system interfaces for new equipment and existing/third-party machines
- Program Allen-Bradley Compact Logix / Control Logix (Studio 5000), Factory Talk View, Siemens TIA Portal, and Codesys platforms
- Support Fanuc robot integration (TP / Karel)
- Lead commissioning, system testing, debug, and startup validation at our facility and customer sites
- Collaborate daily with mechanical engineers, robot programmers, and project managers
What We're Looking For:
- Strong experience in industrial control system design and electrical engineering
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, Rockwell Automation platforms, and industrial networking (Ether Net/IP)
- Hands-on troubleshooting and commissioning skills
- Familiarity with machinery safety standards (ANSI B11, ISO 13849, NFPA 79, UL 508A)
- A collaborative mindset and desire to grow — no degree required. We hire based on ability and potential.
Travel is infrequent and limited to customer sites in Wisconsin and surrounding states.
You'll work in a supportive, team-oriented environment where you'll never feel isolated — our full in-house engineering, assembly, and service teams are always ready to collaborate and help you succeed.
If you're excited about designing and programming custom automation systems that make a real impact for manufacturers, we want to hear from you.
