Talent Groups
Client is seeking a skilled
Controls Engineer
to lead automation, digital integration, and technical support within our manufacturing operations.
The ideal candidate will excel in PLC programming, MES/ERP connectivity, robotics, Industry 4.0 technologies, and enterprise software support (SigmaNEST and SimTrans).
This role combines hands‑on execution with strategic planning for digital transformation initiatives, while providing technical support for critical manufacturing systems.
Key Responsibilities
Automation & Controls
Design, program, and troubleshoot PLC‑based control systems (Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, etc.) for new equipment and retrofit projects.
Create and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN.
Develop modular, scalable code structures to enable efficient reuse and system flexibility.
MES/ERP & Systems Integration
Architect and implement data bridges between shop floor equipment, MES, and ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Plex, etc.).
Standardize data structures and communication protocols using OPC UA, MQTT, and REST APIs.
Robotics & Motion Control
Program and commission industrial robots (Fanuc, ABB, Motoman) for material handling, assembly, and inspection.
Integrate robotics with safety systems, vision systems, and overall control architecture.
Digital Manufacturing & IIoT
Lead deployment of IoT‑enabled devices for asset monitoring, predictive maintenance, and real‑time analytics.
Implement edge computing solutions for latency‑critical operations and data reduction.
Collaborate with IT/OT teams to ensure secure, scalable industrial network architecture.
Industry 4.0 & Future Readiness
Champion Industry 4.0 initiatives, including digital twins, virtual commissioning, machine learning, and data lakes.
Evaluate and implement smart sensors and intelligent devices for condition‑based monitoring and self‑diagnostics.
Ensure compliance with industrial cybersecurity standards (ISA/IEC 62443, NIST).
SigmaNEST & SimTrans Technical Support
Provide technical support for SigmaNEST nesting software and SimTrans integration.
Troubleshoot license, configuration, and connectivity issues between SigmaNEST, SimTrans, and ERP systems.
Train engineers, planners, and operators to optimize system use and minimize downtime.
Maintain user documentation, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides.
Equipment Standards & Specification
Develop comprehensive specification sheets, RFQs, and technical documentation to guide machine selection and standardization.
Maintain control standards and glossary documentation to ensure consistency across operations.
Manage the full lifecycle of controls projects, including design, procurement, FAT, installation, commissioning, and validation.
Collaborate with mechanical, IT, safety, and manufacturing engineering teams to ensure seamless integration.
Qualifications
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
Experience:
Minimum 7 years in Controls/Systems Engineering and automation in a manufacturing environment.
Strong proficiency in PLC/HMI programming (Rockwell, Siemens, Beckhoff).
Experience with MES/ERP integration and industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, OPC-UA).
Hands‑on robotics programming and commissioning (Fanuc, ABB, Motoman).
Proven experience in machine installation, troubleshooting, and commissioning.
Knowledge of IIoT platforms, industrial cybersecurity, and edge computing architectures.
Familiarity with digital twin modeling, SCADA systems, and cloud integration (AWS, Azure IoT) is a plus.
Excellent problem‑solving skills with the ability to work in a high‑mix, fast‑paced environment.
