Libbey is seeking a highly technical and visionary Electrical Controls Engineer IV
to lead the design, development, and deployment of innovative automation systems. This role requires deep expertise in
Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo platforms , advanced
motion control , and
computer systems integration . The ideal candidate is not only proficient in programming and commissioning servo-driven machines, but also understands the broader architecture— networking, industrial PC integration, SCADA, and data systems —that drive modern automation platforms. RESPONSIBILITIES Design and implement complex automation systems featuring
Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo motion
(coordinated motion, camming, and registration systems). Develop modular, scalable control logic in
Studio 5000 Logix Designer , using best practices with UDTs, AOIs, and structured code organization. Engineer and troubleshoot
high-speed deterministic motion systems
and synchronized multi-axis platforms. Integrate control systems with
industrial PCs, edge devices, databases , and enterprise software. Configure and maintain
EtherNet/IP networks , switches, and secure communication between PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems. Create and manage HMI/SCADA interfaces in
FactoryTalk View
and/or
Ignition , including advanced data handling and alarm strategies. Work cross-functionally with software, IT, and operations teams to ensure seamless machine-to-system integration. Lead controls-related R&D initiatives, prototyping, and technology scouting. Mentor junior engineers and provide architectural input for long-term automation strategy. Maintain documentation including I/O lists, electrical schematics, system topologies, and support manuals. REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field is required 10+ years of hands-on experience in controls engineering Allen-Bradley Kinetix servo systems (5500/5700)
