Develop and execute functional tests to verify machine and controls performance.
Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and equipment verification activities.
Investigate electrical, controls, and software issues and implement corrective actions.
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, and project engineering teams.
Incorporate checkout and commissioning changes into final as-built electrical drawings and controls software.
Create and maintain technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, or related technical discipline preferred.
Professional experience with industrial automation, controls engineering, automated machinery, or related equipment.
Experience with PLC-based machine-control systems.
Ability to read and understand electrical schematics and technical documentation.
Strong electrical and controls troubleshooting skills.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering and manufacturing teams.

Desired Attributes

5+ years of relevant controls, automation, or machine-development experience preferred.
Experience taking automated machinery from design through checkout, commissioning, and Factory Acceptance Testing.
Experience with Rockwell PLCs and ladder logic.
Experience with FactoryTalk View, Ignition, or similar HMI platforms.
Experience with AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar electrical design tools.
Experience designing industrial control panels and machine electrical systems.
Experience with sensors, actuators, motors, VFDs, servo drives, industrial communications, and machine-safety systems.
Experience with automated assembly machinery, robotics, motion-control systems, or other industrial automation.
Experience supporting biomedical, medical-device, life-science, or other controlled manufacturing applications.
Experience creating and maintaining as-built electrical drawings and controls documentation.
Experience with functional safety, safety-rated control systems, machine interlocks, or Safety Integrity Level (SIL) applications.
