Senior Controls Engineer | Asheville, NC

$120,000 - $140,000 | Profit sharing | 401K match


The Role

You'd be the most senior controls engineer on site at a privately held OEM that builds engineered-to-order custom automation systems. No plant support. No PE firm in the picture. You own controls from concept through deployment.


Why It's Worth Your Time

  • $120K - $140K base, plus profit sharing for every employee tied to company performance
  • Privately held with no plans to sell. Leadership is committed to this industry long term.
  • Low turnover because people are treated well and the work stays interesting
  • Asheville. Outdoor access, a great food scene, and a pace of life that doesn't wear you down.
  • Solid 401K match and a strong benefits package


What You'll Actually Do

  • Design and program control systems for custom, complex industrial equipment
  • Work across Rockwell PLC and motion, robotics, vision systems, IT/OT networking, and SQL-based data capture
  • Own hardware design and BOMs
  • Mentor junior engineers and serve as the senior technical voice on site


What We're Looking For

  • 7 years of controls engineering experience, in automated equipment design.
  • Strong Rockwell background; robotics and vision experience a plus
  • Degree in engineering or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Someone who takes ownership and sees projects through from start to finish
