Albuquerque, NM

Must be a US Citizen or Green Card holder.

We have a Controls Engineer position available in our Albuquerque, NM office. This person will provide team leadership in delivering automation systems for a wide variety of industries.

This position requires demonstrated technical proficiency in implementing automation solutions with PLC, DCS, HMI, and SCADA platforms.

The Senior Controls Engineer will interact directly with the customer and lead a team of Wunderlich-Malec engineers in identifying requirements, developing specifications, and implementing/testing/commissioning/qualifying automation solutions.

This position is a leadership role within the business unit and requires strong problem-solving ability, well-balanced people skills, an aptitude for business efficiency, and an interest in creating partnerships.

The Senior Controls Engineer demonstrates success by securing repeat work with both new and existing customers.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

This position requires the ability to deliver innovative automation solutions and design standards either self-directedly or as a leader of a team. The candidate must have the ability to conceptualize, detail, and implement control systems for industrial processes and machinery that meet our customers' requirements. This involves the development of a control system architecture, selecting components, detailing schematic diagrams and system documentation, programming controllers (PLC, DCS, RTU), programming process visualization (HMI/SCADA), developing databases for archiving/displaying historical data, and implementing/commissioning the control system at the client’s facility. Knowledge of controller programming languages such as Ladder, Sequential Function Chart, Structured Text, and others is required. Knowledge of standard programming languages such as VBA, .NET, and SQL for HMI/SCADA development is preferred.

For larger systems, experience with industrial networking used to connect control system components and instrumentation is preferred. The Controls Engineer would design, detail, and implement fiber, wired, and wireless systems using industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, etc.).

This position often involves project management responsibilities such as developing project execution plans, work breakdown structures, budgets, task prioritization and scheduling, task ordering, time and financial tracking, early problem identification, conflict resolution, leading and supporting a team, and attending project status meetings. It may also include overseeing daily operations of projects up to $1M, ensuring overall profitability.
