This role works closely with a team of Controls Engineers and collaborates with electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines to deliver complete, reliable systems. The position includes moderate travel to customer locations, primarily regional trips with occasional international assignments, and involves direct customer interaction during installation, testing, and support.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and commission automated machines based on customer specifications from initial concept through final integration.
Program and troubleshoot PLCs, primarily using Allen-Bradley platforms, with additional work on Siemens, GE, and Omron systems as needed.
Develop, modify, and optimize control logic from scratch to ensure reliable and efficient machine operation.
Program and integrate industrial robots, focusing on Fanuc systems, while also supporting Nachi, ABB, and Motoman robots.

Participate in on-site installation, startup, testing, and debugging of machines at customer facilities.
Provide technical support and troubleshooting for controls and automation issues during and after machine commissioning.
Interact directly with customers during on-site visits to gather requirements, explain solutions, and ensure satisfaction with delivered systems.
Contribute to training and knowledge sharing within a team of full-time Controls Engineers and contractors.
Maintain accurate project documentation, including programs, schematics, and configuration details for future reference and support.

Essential Skills
