Job DescriptionJob Description

This is hands-on, fast-moving, high-impact engineering that lets you own the full process and see results every day. You’ll spend your time programming PLCs, tuning servo motors, integrating robots, solving real-time challenges, and walking out to the shop floor to see your work in motion.

Your work begins where ideas meet motion. As a Control Systems Engineer, you’ll be at the center of building custom automated systems—from the wiring diagram to the HMI screen to the robot arm swinging into action.

What You’ll Bring

Experience with PLC programming (any major platform)

Familiarity with HMI/SCADA systems and CAD for schematics

Strong understanding of automation, control theory, and machine safety

Problem-solving mindset and the ability to adapt quickly on the floor

Hands-on experience with servo systems and robot integration

Clear communicator and a collaborative teammate

What You’ll Do

Program PLCs and HMIs to control complex machine behavior

Support system builds—troubleshooting, updating designs, and refining controls

Design control systems and create detailed wiring and logic diagrams

Integrate robotics, servo amplifiers, sensors, and motion control

Document systems clearly and train teams on their operation

Run validation testing and resolve performance issues

What Sets This Role Apart

Opportunities to innovate

– improve performance, safety, and uptime

Diverse technology exposure

– PLCs, robots, HMIs, servo drives, pneumatics

Full project ownership

– from control design to commissioning

Cross-functional collaboration

– partner with electrical, mechanical, and build teams

Work that moves

– design and build systems, not just simulate them

If you’re the kind of control engineer who likes to build it, program it, and see it move, this is your place. Let’s build the future of automation together.
