You'll own projects end-to-end: architecting controls/software topology, writing PLC code that other engineers actually want to inherit, designing HMIs that make troubleshooting painless, and leading startup and debug when the equipment hits production. You'll also mentor junior engineers along the way, shaping how the next generation of the team builds. What you'll do: Lead conceptual development balancing specs, layout, cost, and lead-time Architect controls/software topology across PLC, HMI, robotics, databases, and vision systems Drive project documentation - functional specs, electrical/pneumatic drawings, BOMs, manuals Own startup, debug, and deployment of automated equipment into live production Design and implement functional safety systems to OSHA and industry standards Manage electrical panel builds, field wiring, and pneumatic/fluid systems Partner directly with customers to optimize systems for peak OEE #J-18808-Ljbffr Automation
