Senior Control Engineer
Automation Nth
Job Description
Senior Controls Engineer | Automation NTH | La Vergne, TN
\n \nAutomation NTH is looking for a Senior Controls Engineer to take the technical lead on custom automation systems — from first concept sketches to final startup on the plant floor.
\nThis isn't a "maintain what exists" role. 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.
\n \nWhat you'll do:
\n- \n
- Lead conceptual development balancing specs, layout, cost, and lead-time \n
- Architect controls/software topology across PLC, HMI, robotics, databases, and vision systems \n
- Drive project documentation — functional specs, electrical/pneumatic drawings, BOMs, manuals \n
- Own startup, debug, and deployment of automated equipment into live production \n
- Design and implement functional safety systems to OSHA and industry standards \n
- Manage electrical panel builds, field wiring, and pneumatic/fluid systems \n
- Partner directly with customers to optimize systems for peak OEE \n
- Mentor and develop junior engineers \n
What you bring:
\n- \n
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, math, physical sciences, or related technical field \n
- 5+ years in industrial automation or controls integration \n
- Expert-level Allen Bradley PLC programming and advanced HMI development \n
- Working knowledge of OSHA, NFPA79, NEC, UL508A, and ANSI standards \n
- Robot programming and/or vision systems experience \n
- Strong communicator who's comfortable leading conversations with senior customer stakeholders \n
Details:
\nHybrid — Office/Customer Sites, based in La Vergne, TN
\n25–40% travel for implementation and startup support
\n \nIf you're an engineer who wants real ownership of complex automation projects — not just a seat on someone else's — this is that role.
