$55,000.00 - $85,000.00 per year Job title: Controls Technician Job description: We're looking for a Controls Technician to support our controls engineers on custom automated machinery. This is a hands-on build, wire, test, and troubleshoot role. You will work on the shop floor and at customer sites, getting machines from panel to running equipment. You will not own system architecture. You will own the physical and checkout work that makes the program actually run: panels, field devices, I/O, drives, and first-pass debug. Projects are custom automation machines, primarily for aerospace fastener production. Key Responsibilities Build, wire, and modify control panels from electrical schematics and bills of material.

Install and terminate field devices:

sensors, solenoids, motors, drives, safety devices, and network drops. Perform point-to-point, I/O, and power-on checks, and log discrepancies against the drawings. Assist controls engineers with machine debug, sensor setup, drive faults, and sequence testing on prototypes and installed equipment. Make basic PLC and HMI edits under engineer direction (force bits, adjust timers, update alarms or screen text). Full program ownership is not required. Support commissioning and startup at customer sites, including wiring corrections and operator handoff. Keep panels, wire labels, redlines, and as-built notes accurate. Follow safe electrical work practices (NFPA 70E, lockout/tagout) and our shop standards. Qualifications High school diploma or equivalent. Associate degree, trade certificate, or military electrical/electronics training is a plus. 2+ years building, wiring, or maintaining industrial equipment, control panels, or automated machinery. Ability to read electrical schematics, panel layouts, and I/O lists. Hands-on experience with 24V controls, sensors, relays, motor starters or VFDs, and Ethernet device connections. Comfort using a meter, and basic troubleshooting of why a device is not responding. Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work from a task list alongside engineers.

Preferred:

prior PLC exposure (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or equivalent), panel-shop experience, safety-circuit wiring, or travel for machine install. What We Offer Work on new custom machines, not only plant maintenance. Direct support from controls engineers, with a path toward programming if you want it. Shop-floor access to the equipment you build. Relocation assistance.
