Senior Industrial Controls Engineer, Structured Safety

• Design, program, and maintain Rockwell Guard Logix Safety PLC code governing structure- and cell-level safety logic, including emergency stop networks, door and gate interlocks, and light curtain integration.
• Apply functional safety standards and partner with the Functional Safety team to support HARA/SRS alignment and safety protocol validation.
• Develop Ignition-based safety HMI screens to visualize STS status, alarms, and access controls.
• Support field commissioning, validation, and root cause analysis of safety systems at customer and proof-of-concept sites.
• Develop reusable, well-documented STS code libraries and coding standards to support scalable safety architecture.
• Lead STS projects from design through deployment, conduct design reviews, and serve as the primary liaison between Functional Safety, SAS/Bot Guardian, and Commissioning teams.

• Minimum 7 years of experience as a Controls Engineer with hands-on Rockwell Guard Logix Safety PLC programming experience.
• Deep knowledge of functional safety standards including ISO 13849, IEC 62061, and SIL/PL, with experience designing safety logic for emergency stops, interlocks, and access request workflows.
• Real-world field commissioning and validation experience, including safety protocol sign-off and root cause analysis.
• Experience leading controls capital projects.
• Material handling or distribution center automation experience preferred.
• Experience with Ignition 8 or Factory Talk HMI development and Rockwell Integrated Architecture (Control Logix, Guard Logix, Compact Logix, Kinetix, Power Flex) is a plus.
• TUV Functional Safety Engineer certification and prior team leadership experience are a plus.
