Overview

Senior Industrial Controls Engineer – 10+ Years Required

Location : Hendersonville, North Carolina

Industry : Industrial Controls / R&D

About Us

Solid Rock Recruiting is partnering with a leader in industrial automation and advanced kiln systems, serving customers worldwide with innovative engineering solutions. We are seeking a Senior R&D / Industrial Engineer to drive research & development, solve complex technical challenges, and support large-scale equipment installations. This role is critical to our continued growth and requires a highly skilled, hands-on engineer who thrives in dynamic, technical environments.

What You'll Do

  • Lead R&D initiatives and drive innovation across mechanical, electrical, and control systems.
  • Serve as the go-to technical problem solver —able to diagnose and resolve issues that others can't.
  • Oversee commissioning, startup, and servicing of industrial kiln equipment in the field.
  • Develop, program, and optimize PLCs (primarily Rockwell / Allen-Bradley, but open to others).
  • Work with servo systems, VFDs, networking, and advanced controls integration.
  • Update and maintain our proprietary software controls package.
  • Collaborate with plant operations, maintenance, and project teams to ensure successful installations.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to knowledge-sharing across the team.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or related Engineering field.
  • 10–25 years of industrial engineering experience (automation, plant engineering, or similar).
  • Strong PLC programming skills (Rockwell, but definitely open to others).
  • Broad background across mechanical and electrical systems—not siloed in one discipline.
  • Proven track record in industrial automation, troubleshooting, and hands-on problem solving.
  • Experience with project, plant, or maintenance management.
  • Excellent communication skills—able to work with customers and internal teams.
  • Nice-to-Haves :

  • Experience with kilns, furnaces, or large-scale industrial process equipment.
  • R&D leadership experience.
  • Welding practices, corrosion troubleshooting, and / or pressure vessel certifications.
  • Additional Details

  • Travel expectation is ~50% (startup, commissioning, customer support).
  • Candidates should be willing to base themselves in or near Hendersonville, NC, to stay connected with the team and office.
  • Compensation is extremely competitive with flexibility for the right candidate.
  • This is a highly selective search : we're seeking an "A-player" engineer with deep technical expertise and leadership capability. If you're a seasoned engineer who thrives on solving the toughest challenges, we want to talk to you.
