As a Controls Commissioning Engineer, you'll play a critical role in transforming engineered solutions into fully operational systems at customer sites. You'll partner with Controls Engineers, Project Managers, Site Managers, Mechanical Engineers, Software teams, customers, and field technicians to commission complex material handling and warehouse automation systems that power some of the world's most recognizable brands.\nThis is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on problem solving, thrives in fast-paced project environments, and wants to see their work come to life in the field. Every project presents new challenges, technologies, and opportunities to build expertise in industrial automation.\nThis role is remote-based, allowing you to establish your home office anywhere within the continental United States. From there, you'll travel up to 75% to customer sites throughout the commissioning, startup, testing, and go-live phases of projects. If you enjoy variety, working directly with customers, and seeing the impact of your work firsthand, this role offers the opportunity to support cutting-edge automation installations across North America.\nWhat you'll do: \nExecute on-site commissioning of automated material handling systems, including conveyors, sorters, merges, and supporting subsystems. \nPerform I/O checkout, safety checks, device validation, and field wiring verification to ensure system readiness. \nConfigure, test, and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, VFD, and industrial network components (e.g., Ethernet/IP, OPCUA, MQTT, IO-Link). \nValidate system functionality against design specifications and functional requirements. \nCollaborate with mechanical, electrical, software, and project engineering teams to resolve issues and optimize system performance. \nSupport system integration testing, stress testing, and throughput validation. \nDocument commissioning results, system changes, punch lists, and test reports. \nTrain customer operations and maintenance teams on system functionality and best practices. \nProvide on-site support during go-live and commissioning phases. \nWhat you bring: \nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline; equivalent hands-on experience will also be considered. \n1+ years of experience commissioning industrial automation, controls, or material handling systems. \nFamiliarity with PLC platforms such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar. \nExperience working with industrial field devices including sensors, scanners, encoders, actuators, and safety devices. \nUnderstanding of industrial networking concepts such as Ethernet/IP and other industrial communication protocols. \nAbility to read and interpret electrical schematics, control panel drawings, and wiring diagrams. \nStrong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to diagnose and resolve issues under project deadlines. \nWillingness to travel up to 75% to customer sites throughout project commissioning. \nBonus points if you have: \nExperience in warehouse automation, logistics, or high-speed manufacturing environments. \nFamiliarity with HMI/SCADA systems, MES integration, or WCS/WMS interfaces. \nKnowledge of safety systems (SIL-rated devices, safety PLCs, lockout/tagout procedures). \nExperience with barcode readers and/or vision systems.\nThis job description is not exhaustive. Other duties may be assigned as needed, and responsibilities may evolve to support the business and employee experience.\nAbout Us: \nConveyor may be in our name, but it’s only part of what we do. DCS was founded in 1982 and has grown to serve major clients in multiple industries by providing material handling, full-scale warehouse operations and conveyor design solutions that are custom crafted for their need. We don’t sell ready-made systems - we build relationships that empower us to craft custom solutions together. It’s the teamwork approach, sharing ideas and building upon them, that produces the best results. \nAnd DCS is committed to creating an extraordinary employment experience for our team. We work like crazy to hire and develop great people, build relationships, and ensure that the programs and services we offer our team are among the best in the business- from a killer snack wall and casual work environment to flexible PTO and opportunities to give back within the community.\nMore reasons to join our team: \nWe pride ourselves in our family-like culture and casual, but focused, work environment \nWe offer competitive salaries and health benefits \nOur 401K program includes a 100% match up to 5% \nParticipation in our Discretionary Profit-Sharing Program \nWe offer our employees flexibility and autonomy \nWe do community outreach projects throughout the year \nWe know how to throw company events \nWe work hard, but we also know how to have fun - darts, anyone?\nIndividuals seeking employment at Designed Conveyor Systems are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
