Job Description
Control Systems EngineerPosition OverviewWe are seeking a Control Systems Engineer to design, implement, and commission industrial control systems that ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation of manufacturing and process equipment. The role combines control system design, PLC/HMI programming, control cabinet layout, network configuration, and field commissioning. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Allen-Bradley PLCs, SCADA/HMI platforms, and strong electrical/mechanical integration skills.
Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop, and document control system architectures including PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, I/O, and network topology to meet project requirements.
Program and troubleshoot PLCs (ControlLogix, SLC and other Allen-Bradley platforms) using Ladder Logic and structured text as required.
Develop and configure
Produce detailed control cabinet layouts and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD and SolidWorks; specify components and oversee panel fabrication.
Perform site installation, startup and commissioning of control systems, including I/O verification, loop checks, FAT/SAT support and acceptance testing.
Design and implement Ethernet networks, industrial communications, and cyber-secure remote access for control systems.
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and project teams to ensure proper integration of automation systems, including power distribution considerations.
Create and maintain clear technical documentation, drawings, test plans, and operational procedures for systems and handover to operations.
Provide on-site and remote troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement recommendations to improve reliability and uptime.
Mentor junior engineers and technicians, coordinate with vendors and contractors, and provide training for operations staff on system use and maintenance.
QualificationsBachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Automation, Robotics, or related field (or equivalent experience).3+ years of hands-on experience in industrial control systems design, PLC/HMI programming, and field commissioning; experience with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and SLC strongly preferred.
Proficiency in Ladder Logic programming and PLC configuration; experience with ControlLogix, CompactLogix or similar platforms.
Experience configuring HMIs/SCADA such as FactoryTalk, Ignition or equivalent, and integrating web gateways for remote monitoring.
Familiarity with SolidWorks for control cabinet layouts and mechanical integration.
Solid understanding of industrial Ethernet, network design, and fundamental cyber-security practices for control systems.
Practical knowledge of control cabinet construction, wiring practices, and power distribution for industrial equipment.
Scripting or programming experience in Python or Java for data integration, diagnostics, or custom tool development is a plus.
