Key Responsibilities
  • Guide controls and electrical engineers in executing controls architecture strategies for new product development initiatives.
  • Define and develop controls architectures for mechatronic systems, including connectivity, remote monitoring, intelligent diagnostics, and automation.
  • Lead platform and device selection based on product performance, scalability, modularity, and reliability requirements.
  • Integrate electrical, mechanical, and controls components to deliver complete system functionality.
  • Develop, modify, and maintain PLC programs using platforms such as ABB Automation Builder, Allen-Bradley, CODESYS, Unitronics, and related technologies.
  • Translate product and system requirements into effective controls solutions and technical specifications.
  • Support validation planning, testing, troubleshooting, and performance verification.
  • Enhance product functionality through innovative diagnostics, connectivity, and intelligent control capabilities.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, validation records, design specifications, technical reviews, and engineering best practices.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Experience with control systems, mechatronic product development, industrial power systems, control panels, or related technologies.
  • Demonstrated success developing new products, technologies, or engineered solutions from concept through prototype, testing, and validation.
  • Strong PLC programming and controls logic development experience.
  • Ability to travel up to 25%, including domestic and international travel.
