Job Description

The Controls Engineer is responsible for the design, programming, commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement of industrial automation and electrical control systems supporting a high-volume manufacturing operation. This role serves as the plant's primary technical resource for PLC-based automation, HMI development, instrumentation, industrial networking, and electrical controls while partnering closely with Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering to improve equipment reliability, safety, quality, and productivity.

Reporting to the Electrical Engineering Supervisor, the Controls Engineer supports capital projects, leads controls-related system upgrades, develops standardized automation solutions, and provides technical expertise during equipment failures and commissioning activities.

Controls & Automation

Design, program, test, and commission PLC- and HMI-based control systems for new and existing manufacturing equipment.
Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC logic, HMI applications, instrumentation, and industrial control systems.
Configure and support variable frequency drives (VFDs), servo systems, industrial sensors, safety devices, and process instrumentation.
Support industrial communication networks including EtherNet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, or similar industrial protocols.
Optimize automation systems to improve equipment uptime, process consistency, throughput, and product quality.
Develop and maintain plant standards for PLC programming, HMI development, controls documentation, and electrical design.

Electrical Engineering

Design and revise electrical schematics, control panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and bills of material using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar software.
Specify electrical components and controls hardware for capital projects and equipment upgrades.
Support electrical power distribution, motor control circuits, and machine control systems.

Manufacturing Support

Serve as the primary engineering resource for troubleshooting complex electrical and automation issues affecting production equipment.
Lead root cause analysis of recurring electrical and controls failures and implement permanent corrective actions.
Work closely with Maintenance and Operations to minimize downtime and improve equipment reliability.
Provide technical support during equipment startups, shutdowns, commissioning, and emergency production situations.

Capital Projects

Support capital projects from concept through commissioning, including equipment specification, controls design, programming, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), startup, and validation.
Coordinate with OEMs, contractors, and system integrators during equipment installations and controls upgrades.
Develop project schedules, technical specifications, procurement documentation, and project budgets as assigned.

Safety & Compliance

Participate in Process Safety Management (PSM) activities, including Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) and Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs).
Ensure compliance with OSHA, NEC, NFPA 70E, and internal electrical safety standards.
Support lockout/tagout, machine safety, arc-flash mitigation, and safe electrical work practices.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

Maintain accurate PLC backups, electrical drawings, control narratives, and technical documentation.
Identify opportunities to improve automation, reduce downtime, standardize controls hardware, and enhance manufacturing performance.
Support Lean Manufacturing, reliability initiatives, and continuous improvement projects.
