Immediate "We provide a competitive pay and benefits package. This position is offering a pay rate of $85.84/hr, however, Belcan considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to education, experience, geographic location, and discipline. Benefits offered may include health care, dental, vision, life insurance; 401(k); education assistance; paid time off including PTO, holidays, and any other paid leave required by law. This contractor will provide hands-on controls engineering and technical support for the automated manufacturing lines in IRG's pilot-through-volume production environment.

Day-to-day work includes:

• PLC programming & debug — developing, modifying, and troubleshooting PLC logic on any platform (Siemens TIA Portal, Rockwell Studio 5000/ControlLogix, Beckhoff TwinCAT, or similar), following established controls standards.
• HMI/SCADA support — building and maintaining HMI screens and SCADA applications (Ignition, FactoryTalk, WinCC, or equivalent) for real-time line visibility, alarms, and production data.
• Machine build & assembly support — mechanical and electrical assembly, panel and I/O wiring, sensor/actuator mounting, and getting equipment physically ready for power-up.
• Machine spec verification & acceptance — verifying each machine is built to specification and complies with controls, electrical, and safety standards; checkout against acceptance criteria; documenting conformance / punch-list items.
• Machine uptime ownership — ensuring the machine is up and running: monitoring equipment health, rapidly responding to faults and downtime, and keeping the line productive.
• Commissioning & bring-up — station/line bring-up, FAT/SAT, and ramp: wiring checkout, I/O verification, sequence testing, and cycle-time tuning.
• Automation & robot integration — integration and programming of industrial robots and automation cells (e.g., Fanuc, KUKA, ABB), including safety-circuit checkout.
• Daily production support — troubleshooting live equipment, root-cause analysis, and countermeasures to improve uptime (MTTR/MTBF).
• MES interfacing & integration — interfacing equipment with the MES (e.g., the Quickbase-based MES, Ignition, etc.), validating data exchange, and supporting traceability, build-data/test-result capture, and connectivity (OPC-UA, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET).
• Documentation — maintaining electrical/controls documentation, drawings, commissioning checklists, and troubleshooting knowledge bases.

(Technician-level version weights more toward panel build, wiring/I/O checkout, field troubleshooting, and hands-on commissioning support.) Top 3
