    Description
    What you'll do...
    • Support a manufacturing operation by designing, programming, debugging, and maintaining PLC-based control systems used across assembly, test, and standalone production equipment.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve complex controls-related issues on both legacy and newer equipment, partnering closely with technicians, process engineers, and operations to restore and improve equipment performance.
    • Develop, modify, and maintain control logic using Siemens and Allen-Bradley PLC platforms, supporting a mix of older systems and newly deployed equipment.
    • Execute scoped controls projects, including small system upgrades, equipment modifications, bench or standalone cells, and control improvements to enhance reliability, performance, and standardization.
    • Support new programs and continuous improvement initiatives by interpreting control requirements, implementing solutions, debugging, commissioning, and documenting changes.
    • Contribute to longer-term controls strategy and standardization efforts, helping modernize controls architecture, improve programming consistency, and reduce technical risk across the facility.
    • Create and maintain electrical schematics, system block diagrams, and clear documentation to ensure solutions are supportable and transferable long term.
    What we're looking for...
    • 6+ years of experience in controls engineering, automation, or manufacturing controls within fast-paced industrial environments.
    • Strong hands-on PLC programming experience, with depth beyond basic modifications; experience with Siemens PLCs is strongly preferred, with Allen-Bradley experience also valued.
    • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems, including sensors, actuators, motors, drives, and industrial communication networks.
    • Experience supporting and improving legacy equipment, as well as commissioning or modifying newer control systems.
    • Ability to execute controls-related projects independently from scope definition through implementation, debugging, and documentation.
    • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical solutions clearly and concisely to engineers, technicians, and cross-functional partners.
    • Collaborative mindset with a willingness to document work, follow standards, and support solutions long term.
    • Experience in automotive, industrial manufacturing, or high-volume electromechanical production environments preferred.
    • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent hands-on controls engineering experience.
