Support troubleshooting and continuous optimization of controls systems and machine performance.

Project & Program Management

Manage multiple automation and controls projects simultaneously while balancing scope, schedule, budget, quality, and safety requirements.
Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Project Management, and Customers to ensure successful project delivery.
Monitor project risks and implement mitigation strategies to maintain delivery commitments.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

Drive the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, smart manufacturing solutions, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives.
Standardize controls architecture, documentation practices, and reusable code libraries.
Improve system reliability, maintainability, and overall equipment performance.
Research and evaluate emerging technologies in automation, robotics, controls, and manufacturing engineering.
Champion Lean and continuous improvement initiatives throughout the engineering function.

Compliance & Safety

Ensure automation systems comply with applicable standards, including NFPA 79, CSA, UL, CE, ISO 13849, and IEC 61131.
Promote best practices related to machine safety, risk assessments, and functional safety design.
Support a workplace culture focused on safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.

What You Bring

Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Automation Engineering, or a related discipline.
Minimum 5 years of leadership experience in controls engineering, automation engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a similar environment.
Advanced experience with:
