• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (engineering, maintenance, operations, IT) to define controls requirements and integrate equipment into plant-wide systems.

• Develop and maintain control system documentation, including electrical schematics, network architecture, and PLC/HMI code standards.

• Support machine design reviews, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and site acceptance testing (SAT).

• Troubleshoot system issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to ensure high equipment availability and performance.

• Conduct machine safety risk assessments and ensure appropriate guarding, safety circuits, and safety PLC configurations.

• Maintain and update system configuration, backups, and version control for controls software and devices.

• Optimize control logic and equipment performance; recommend improvements and upgrades.

• Ensure compliance with relevant industrial standards (NFPA, UL, ISO, OSHA, etc.).

• Collaborate with maintenance teams to develop preventative maintenance strategies and support controls-related troubleshooting.

• Maintain expert proficiency within the Allen-Bradley control platform.

• Provide regular updates and progress reports to the VP of Engineering.

• Proven experience in controls engineering or industrial automation.

• Demonstrated proficiency with Allen-Bradley PLC/HMI systems (ControlLogix/FactoryTalk).

• Experience with industrial automation and control components (e.g., sensors, drives, motion control, vision systems, robotics).

• Understanding industrial networking, control panel design, and electrical standards.

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.

• Strong communication and project management skills.

• Ability to perform hands-on work including panel wiring support, field device configuration, troubleshooting, and commissioning.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SCADA/MES platforms, industrial data systems, and CMMS tools.

• Familiarity with ignition, SAP, Power BI, and machine connectivity/IIoT.

• Experience with functional safety design and validation (SIL/PL).

• Knowledge of cybersecurity best practices in industrial control systems.

• Experience supporting robotics (Fanuc Preferred), motion control, and vision systems.
