Controls Engineer
Overview Lead the design, standardization, and migration of control system hardware/software as we unify multiple controller platforms into a single Soft PLC architecture. This role focuses on building repeatable, scalable, well‑documented control products, not one‑off custom systems.
Key Responsibilities
Product Development & Standardization
- Develop standard, configurable control system architectures, reusable code libraries, and HMI templates.
- Maintain standard BOMs, controlled drawings, and documented functionality.
- Apply DFM, DFS, and configuration management to ensure consistent production and serviceability.
Platform Unification & Migration
- Convert legacy control applications into standardized Soft PLC product applications.
- Execute HMI migrations using consistent UI patterns.
- Manage changes through formal ECR/ECN/ECO processes.
Quality, Validation & Release
- Implement advanced control features within the standard product architecture.
- Support stage‑gate development, rollout planning, and cross‑functional integration.
- Define and run standard test procedures, validation protocols, and acceptance criteria.
- Participate in design reviews, DFMEA, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
Qualifications
Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Controls, Automation, or related engineering field.
- 5–7 years in industrial automation or control systems engineering, with experience developing repeatable, productized solutions.
- PLC/Soft PLC programming experience within a formal product development lifecycle.
- Strong background in BOM/drawing release, configuration control, and engineering change processes.
- Familiarity with Modbus, Ethernet/IP, BACnet, and industrial testing methodologies.
- Nice to Have: Experience working in an R&D environment (prototype builds, structured testing, early‑stage validation).
