Senior Controls Engineer

As a Senior Controls Engineer, you will help shape next-generation automation built on collaborative robots, PLCs, motion platforms, and advanced sensing technologies. You’ll partner closely with mechanical, software, and R&D teams to turn ambitious concepts into reliable, field-ready systems—and contribute to patent-worthy innovations that push industry boundaries.

What You Will Do

• Lead control-system development: sequencing, motion tuning, HMI integration
• Program and refine servos, steppers, and multi-axis (7-axis) robotic systems
• Tackle real-world precision challenges (vibration, resonance, etc.)
• Integrate intelligent sensors including vision, infrared LiDAR, and ultrasonic
• Define system architectures using flow diagrams and state machines
• Collaborate across disciplines from concept through deployment
• Support invention disclosures and IP creation
• Travel up to 25% for system launches and customer installations

What You Bring

• 5 years designing automation systems with PLCs, motion controllers, and robotics
• Experience with servo tuning, torque feedback, and multi-axis motion control
• Proficiency in automation languages (Structured Text, Ladder, C)
• Strong understanding of industrial communication protocols (CANbus, Modbus, MQTT, etc.)
• Hands-on experience with control-panel hardware and troubleshooting
• Demonstrated success delivering automation projects end-to-end
