Controls Engineer

We are looking for a Controls Engineer to join our growing team. We design and build custom robotic automation systems for manufacturers across the Midwest - and we’re looking for someone who loves turning complex control challenges into reality.

In this role, you’ll own the full lifecycle of industrial control systems. This is a design-heavy position - you’ll spend the majority of your time on hardware architecture, schematic development, panel layouts, and component specification, with PLC and HMI programming as a strong secondary focus.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop hardware architecture, panel layouts, and wiring schematics using AutoCAD Electrical
• Specify PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors, and perform load calculations and VFD sizing
• Design control system interfaces for new equipment and existing/third-party machines
• Program Allen-Bradley CompactLogix / ControlLogix (Studio 5000), FactoryTalk View, Siemens TIA Portal, and Codesys platforms
• Support Fanuc robot integration (TP / Karel)
• Lead commissioning, system testing, debug, and startup validation at our facility and customer sites
• Collaborate daily with mechanical engineers, robot programmers, and project managers

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong experience in industrial control system design and electrical engineering
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, Rockwell Automation platforms, and industrial networking (EtherNet/IP)
• Hands-on troubleshooting and commissioning skills
• Familiarity with machinery safety standards (ANSI B11, ISO 13849, NFPA 79, UL 508A)
• A collaborative mindset and desire to grow - no degree required. We hire based on ability and potential.

Travel is infrequent and limited to customer sites in Wisconsin and surrounding states.

You’ll work in a supportive, team-oriented environment where you’ll never feel isolated - our full in-house engineering, assembly, and service teams are always ready to collaborate and help you succeed.

If you’re excited about designing and programming custom automation systems that make a real impact for manufacturers, we want to hear from you.
