Controls Engineer
Controls Engineer
About the Role
We're building production lines for a brand new fiber optic connector product driven by AI data center demand. Our in house automation team works like an internal system integrator: we design, build, program and commission custom semi automated equipment. The machines are built, and we need controls. This is fully greenfield work. You'll write PLC, HMI, vision and robot code from a blank slate and take each machine from first line of code through to production.
What You'll Do
Write PLC software from scratch for new automated equipment in Allen Bradley Studio 5000, using structured text and ladder logic
Develop Python based control software on machines that run on Python
Build and configure HMI screens (ProFace) for machine operation and monitoring
Program and tune servo motors, multi axis motion and Epson robots
Integrate Keyence vision systems, sensors and IO into machine logic
Create and modify electrical schematics, IO lists and panel layouts
Lead factory acceptance testing, commissioning, code revisions and root cause analysis
Collaborate with our mechanical and vision engineers through design reviews and whiteboard sessions
What You'll Bring
Proven experience writing PLC code from a blank slate on new machines. Maintenance only backgrounds will not be a fit
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Controls Engineering or a related field
5+ years of hands on automation experience
Strong Allen Bradley Studio 5000 experience. Beckhoff, Siemens or CODESYS backgrounds will also be considered
Experience with HMI development, motion control and industrial robot programming
Knowledge of industrial protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, Modbus and OPC UA
Working knowledge of OSHA, NFPA 70E and machine safety standards
Nice to Have
Python programming for machine control
ProFace HMI, Keyence vision or Epson robot experience
CAD experience for electrical design (SolidWorks preferred)
Why This Role
You'll own entire machines from start to finish on a new product with a long roadmap ahead, instead of maintaining one module of someone else's design.
GCS is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
