● Proficiency with PLC and controls programming such as Ladder, STL, SCL, G-code, Visual Basic, or C/C++
● Strong experience with Siemens and/or Allen-Bradley platforms, including tools such as Step 7, TIA Portal, Sinumerik 840D, Studio 5000, FactoryTalk, or similar systems
● Strong hardware design knowledge including electrical, pneumatic, and fluid-related controls design; EPLAN and AutoCAD experience required
● Solid understanding of industrial communication networks such as Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Profibus, Canbus, RS232, and RS485
● Strong problem-solving ability, customer communication skills, and the ability to work independently while collaborating closely with project teams
Responsibilities of the Controls Engineer:
● Lead controls engineering activities across both software and hardware for high-precision manufacturing equipment
● Design, modify, and support electrical, pneumatic, and fluid-related controls systems for new and existing machinery
● Develop, troubleshoot, commission, debug, and run off machine controls with minimal supervision
● Partner with mechanical engineering and project management on design decisions, project timelines, and technical execution
● Read and interpret electrical and mechanical drawings to support implementation, revisions, and system optimization
● Support motion control integration, network communications, and machine startup through final acceptance
● Interface with customers during meetings, shop-floor activities, and installation or acceptance phases as required
● Support adherence to internal engineering standards, project quality expectations, and continuous improvement efforts
● Support the engineering team as needed
