Senior Controls Engineer

Job TitleThis is a customer-facing, onsite role. Candidate will typically be the only client resource onsite most of the time, acting as a liaison between the client. Strong communication skills are essential — this person will sit in on open-issue discussions and need to clearly communicate between both sides. Important distinction: The client is looking for an integrator, not a production support tech. The team needs someone actively involved in commissioning new equipment — not someone who spends all their time on production support.Must-HavesExperience with Allen Bradley PLCsExperience with FANUC RobotsStrong communication skills / comfortable acting as a liaison in a customer-facing roleExperience in lieu of formal education is acceptableKey ResponsibilitiesDevelop and design controls software packages using PLCs and/or HMIsProgram robotic and controls equipment per customer specificationsDevelop operation manuals detailing equipment functionality and setupReview customer specifications to ensure equipment meets requirementsOversee startup/commissioning to ensure equipment operates per approved specsPerform preventative maintenance to minimize downtimeReview own work and colleagues' work for functionality and accuracyProvide timely service documentationProvide technical support/training to end-users at customer facilityMaintain safe work practices on Client and customer premisesTechnical Skills RequiredIntermediate understanding of: electrical circuits, electrical panel design, pneumatic/hydraulic design, PLCs, HMIs, robot programming, VFDs, servo applications, and device communication networks (DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, Profibus)Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skillsIntermediate proficiency with Microsoft Office and Google Applications (Gmail, Calendar, Docs)Ability to work onsite at offices or customer locations as requiredAbility to meet deadlines without compromising safety or equipment integrityAbility to interact professionally with customers, including under high-pressure situations
