Job Details:
Operations Technology Engineer – PLCs, Robotics, Machine Learning
On-site in Chattanooga, TN
Full-time, Permanent | $130,000–$160,000 + Bonus
Are you a controls engineer who thrives at the intersection of industrial automation, machine learning, and intelligent robotics?
This isn’t a maintenance job, it’s a career role leading the implementation of
advanced emerging industrial automation technologies . You will lead the discovery and deployment of intelligent systems and machines that blend classic PLC and MES based controls with, AI, advanced robotics, and machine learning keeping the organization at the leading edge of industrial automation.
What You’ll Tackle
Develop PLC, HMI, and AI-integrated control systems for custom automation and robotic platforms in industrial manufacturing plants. Program Allen-Bradley (RSLogix) and Siemens (Step 7) PLCs for precision motion, safety, and process control Write real-time software in Ladder Logic, Function Block and structured text Integrate robotics with vision-guided control (OpenCV), sensor fusion, and force feedback systems Apply machine learning models for inspection, adaptive logic, and predictive controls Connect sensors, microcontrollers, drives, HMIs, and cloud- or edge-connected devices Lead R&D initiatives across software, electronics, and mechanical integration Create diagnostic tools, simulators, and feedback loops to improve real-world system behavior Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to validate technical performance If you’ve ever built a machine that “thinks”—even just a little—you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Bring
U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (Green Card) B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or similar Proven track record in control systems development, including PLC and AI integration Proficiency in structured text and Ladder Logic PLC programming, and industrial control hardware (drives, servos, safety) Experience with real-time systems and protocols (TCP/IP, SPI, UART, etc.) Hands-on problem solver with an R&D mindset Clear communication and system-level thinking
Bonus Experience
STM32, Arduino, or other microcontroller platforms GPU or edge-device inference (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson) SCADA, MES, ERP, or DCS integration Automation projects involving AI, autonomy, or analytics (professional or personal)
Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll be solving real problems—not optimizing theoretical frameworks. This is full-cycle automation: from whiteboard to test bench to factory floor. You’ll have real authority, serious tools, and the chance to shape intelligent systems that go beyond pre-programmed logic.
