Key responsibilities:

  • Lead the design and implementation of industrial control and automation systems
  • Develop, program, and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, and SCADA applications
  • Define control system architecture, hardware requirements, and technical specifications
  • Lead system integration, testing, startup, and commissioning activities
  • Troubleshoot and optimize existing automation and manufacturing systems
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers
  • Work directly with customers and cross-functional teams to develop effective solutions
  • Prepare engineering documentation, functional specifications, and control narratives
  • Take ownership of technical issues and drive projects through completion

Ideal background:

  • 7+ years of Controls, Automation, or Systems Integration experience
  • Strong PLC/HMI programming and troubleshooting experience
  • Experience designing and commissioning industrial control systems
  • Knowledge of industrial networks, instrumentation, and controls hardware
  • Experience leading projects or mentoring junior engineers
  • Strong customer-facing and communication skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field preferred
  • Experience in process controls, manufacturing, or regulated environments is a plus

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to stay technically hands-on while taking on greater responsibility for projects and engineering leadership.
