One of North America's fastest-growing high-speed beverage manufacturers is adding an OT/Controls Systems Engineer to its Glendale, AZ facility. This is a high-visibility, on-site role at the intersection of Information Technology and Operational Technology, where the work you do has a direct and immediate impact on production. You will serve as the on-site technical resource: keeping critical manufacturing systems running, supporting the automation team, and leading both reactive problem-solving and proactive project work. Priorities shift based on what the plant needs, and the right candidate will thrive in that variability. The role is roughly 50% plant-floor OT systems (automation and controls support) and 50% IT/OT infrastructure and systems integration. RESPONSIBILITIES
Systems Support & Maintenance Monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot OT and IT systems, including MES and OEE platforms critical to daily operations. Support and troubleshoot PLC, SCADA, and HMI systems across the plant floor (Rockwell, Siemens, Ignition, or equivalent platforms). Provide Tier 2 technical support to the automation team independently diagnosing and resolving escalated incidents. Operate effectively across both legacy control systems and modern technology platforms. Project Execution Plan and lead small-to-mid-scale projects independently, including system upgrades, plant-requested changes, and self-initiated improvements. Develop and execute preventive monitoring strategies to address potential issues before they affect production. Communicate project status and technical findings clearly to plant leadership and operations stakeholders. Cross-Functional Collaboration Partner with the OT team, plant and operations leadership, and the broader operations team. Translate complex technical matters into clear, actionable information for non-technical colleagues and leadership. Qualifications:
