Sr. Controls Engineer

Description:

Successful candidates must have a proven background in automatic control systems, electrical hardware design/troubleshooting experience (at both the circuit board level and system level), development, and implementation. Candidate must have a BSEE, MSEE, or

equivalent engineering discipline with a minimum of two years of experience.

Responsibilities:

Participate in the product life cycle's product definition stage by providing detailed input on, and developing, electrical and software/firmware system requirements and design documentation.

The Controls Engineer will be responsible for hardware definitions for new products by developing point-to-point wiring schematics, and electrical/electronic component specifications, and providing electrical equipment fabrication oversight.

Candidates should be self-starters and require very little oversight. Hands-on troubleshooting skills will be required for installation, commissioning, and startup activities. Furthermore, phone support for existing customers will also be required.

Additional activities for the Controls Engineer will include developing and supporting in-house automated product testers and data acquisition projects for product development and testing.

In addition, the successful Controls Engineer candidate will develop project schedules, coordinate Integrated Product Team activities, track subsystem technical status (mechanical, electrical, software) and coordinate activities with senior management. Some exposure to Systems Engineering is also helpful, as it will facilitate identifying and specifying the overall design approach to be taken, as well as requirement creation and design documentation.

Experience Required:

• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) programming per IEC 61131-3

• Microsoft C# .NET Application Development

• Control system installation, commissioning, and startup

• Motion control systems, including rotary and linear servo motors

• Three-phase power systems
