Controls Engineer

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).
