Original job description

Job Title: Controls Test Engineer

Job Description

The Controls Test Engineer provides hands-on engineering support for industrial process and validation test equipment in both manufacturing and laboratory environments. This role focuses on troubleshooting, maintaining, and improving PLC-based controls, HMI systems, instrumentation, data acquisition, and process control equipment used for HVAC and engine cooling validation testing. It is ideal for an engineer who enjoys direct, hands-on work with equipment and systems rather than a position centered primarily on controls design, and offers clear growth opportunities for professionals seeking more practical, troubleshooting-oriented responsibilities.

Responsibilities

Troubleshoot and support PLC-based control systems, HMI devices, industrial electrical systems, variable frequency drives, and process control equipment used in test and validation environments.
Install and support PLCs and set-point controllers, and tune process and control loops (including PID loops) to achieve optimal operating performance.
Support instrumentation and data acquisition systems used to measure temperature, pressure, and flow, ensuring reliable and consistent data collection.
Calibrate instrumentation and verify that measurement systems deliver accurate, conforming test data for validation activities.
Diagnose and resolve problems involving controls, electrical systems, instrumentation, refrigeration systems, and process or test equipment in manufacturing and laboratory settings.
Apply knowledge of thermodynamics, refrigeration cycles, HVAC systems, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, sensors, and related process equipment when troubleshooting test systems.
Collaborate with test technicians and engineers to troubleshoot equipment issues, meet testing specifications, and identify and address data-quality concerns.
Support commissioning and validation of new test equipment and upgrades to existing systems, ensuring proper functionality and compliance with test requirements.
Assist with controls and facility improvements involving process control, instrumentation, data acquisition, and safety systems.
Provide hands-on engineering support to optimize equipment involving PID control loops, thermodynamic principles, and measurement of temperature, pressure, and flow, while diagnosing electrical, mechanical, and controls-related issues in a manufacturing and test environment.

Essential Skills

Approximately 3+ years of experience supporting industrial process equipment, test equipment, manufacturing equipment, or similar systems in an industrial, manufacturing, or laboratory environment.
Working knowledge of PLC controls and HMI systems, preferably with Siemens or Allen-Bradley platforms.
Hands-on experience troubleshooting PLC-controlled equipment and automation systems, including the ability to tune and optimize control loops.
Strong understanding of instrumentation, sensors, analog signals, process control, and data acquisition systems used for temperature, pressure, and flow measurement.
Solid understanding of closed-loop process control and PID tuning, including setup and adjustment of control parameters.
Knowledge of thermodynamics and the ability to apply thermal principles when troubleshooting equipment and processes involving HVAC, refrigeration, and heat transfer.
Ability to troubleshoot across electrical, mechanical, controls, and instrumentation systems in industrial, manufacturing, or laboratory environments.
Experience working with industrial electrical systems, variable speed motor drives, control valves, and refrigeration loops at a practical, hands-on level.
Comfort working directly with equipment to diagnose controls, electrical, instrumentation, and mechanical issues rather than focusing primarily on design work.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Bachelors or technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, technical training, and relevant experience.
Experience with HVAC systems, refrigeration systems, heat exchangers, pumps, control valves, and thermal systems used in industrial or test environments.
Experience with variable-speed motor drives and industrial electrical systems, including troubleshooting and support.
Knowledge of Measurement System Analysis and familiarity with NFPA, NEC, and OSHA requirements related to industrial and laboratory environments.
Experience supporting test benches, validation laboratories, or industrial test equipment, including commissioning and validation activities.
Experience in process control, including valve sizing, heat exchanger performance, and refrigerant loop behavior.
Interest in a career path that emphasizes hands-on troubleshooting and equipment support rather than strictly design-focused work.
Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams of technicians and engineers to solve complex equipment and data issues.

Work Environment

The role is based in a test and validation laboratory environment that combines computer and desk work with significant time spent in lab and bench settings. You will work directly with industrial process and test equipment, PLC and HMI systems, instrumentation, data acquisition hardware, variable-speed motor drives, control valves, refrigeration and HVAC systems, and related electrical and mechanical components. The environment emphasizes hands-on troubleshooting, equipment support, and collaboration with technicians and engineers. Work typically involves a mix of analytical tasks at the computer and practical activities in the lab, with a focus on maintaining safe, organized, and professional working conditions in both manufacturing and laboratory areas.
