What are the responsibilities and job description for the Automation Integration Engineer II position at CLX Engineering?
Description
CLX Engineering seeks an experienced Automation Integration Engineer II with strong working proficiency in airport baggage handling systems. This role requires a rare blend of mechanical, electrical, software, and logistical understanding—applied with disciplined engineering principles. You’ll work closely with airport customers, Project Management, and the Controls Engineering team to keep mission-critical systems running with precision. Calm under pressure, excellent service mindset, and clear communication are essential.
The ideal candidate can confidently troubleshoot and modify Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 PLCs, understands control panel design, and takes full ownership of tasks through completion. This role requires someone self-sufficient yet collaborative, capable of serving as the primary technical point of contact for airport customers while knowing when to involve additional engineering resources.
This is not an entry-level role. Candidates must bring 5 years of hands-on automation experience, especially with Allen-Bradley PLC programming. You should expect to demonstrate your technical competencies during the interview process.
This position is based in Atlanta with frequent travel to project sites as needed.
CLX Engineering cannot sponsor visas. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.
