  • Mentor and provide technical leadership to junior controls engineers and technicians.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, software, and project engineering teams to define system architecture and resolve cross-disciplinary challenges.
  • Conduct risk assessments and ensure all designs meet applicable safety and regulatory standards (e.g., UL, CE, NFPA 79).
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of engineering processes, tools, and documentation standards.
  • Interface with customers to understand technical requirements, provide guidance, and troubleshoot issues as needed.

Qualifications :

  • Expert-level proficiency in PLC and HMI programming (Rockwell Automation, Siemens, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of motion control, robotics, servo systems, and VFDs.
  • In-depth knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet / IP, Modbus, Profinet).
  • Proven experience with control system architecture, functional design specifications, and electrical design review.
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset.
  • Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites for system installation and commissioning (as needed).

  • Familiarity with robotic integration (e.g., FANUC, ABB, UR).
  • Understanding of safety systems and functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849, SIL ratings).
  • Project management or team leadership experience.
  • Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, C#, or structured text (IEC 61131-3).
