This role focuses on delivering modular, scalable, and standardized control architectures that enable reliable operation, faster commissioning, and efficient long-term support across machine platforms.\nThe position emphasizes configuration-driven control solutions and reusable software components over monolithic, custom PLC implementations. Working closely with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and operations teams, the Industrial Controls Engineer ensures that control system design supports stable continuous operation, precise process control, and rapid fault recovery in complex industrial environments.\nThe role operates within an Agile SCRUM development model, contributing to sprint planning, backlog refinement, and delivery commitments to ensure predictable, incremental delivery of control system capabilities aligned with program milestones.\nKey Responsibilities\n- PLC & Control Software Development\nDesign, develop, and maintain PLC-based control systems for industrial machinery\nImplement modular, reusable, and configurable control architectures to support scalability across platforms\nDevelop sequencing logic, state machines, and process control aligned with equipment performance requirements\nPromote software standardization and best practices across product lines\n- HMI & Operator Interface Development\nDevelop and maintain operator interfaces for machine control and monitoring\nImplement alarm visualization, user roles, diagnostics, and recipe management\nEnsure HMI designs support usability, maintainability, and consistent operator workflows\n- Motion, Drives & Industrial Networking\nConfigure and commission motion systems, drives, and industrial I/O\nIntegrate industrial communication protocols for machine-to-machine and higher-level system connectivity\nTune and validate system performance to meet throughput and quality targets\nMachine Safety & Functional Safety\nDesign, implement, and validate machine safety solutions in compliance with applicable safety standards\nCollaborate with electrical and mechanical teams to ensure safety architecture supports both compliance and machine performance\nSupport safety commissioning, validation, and documentation activities\n- Commissioning & Debug\nCommission machines in factory and customer environments\nDiagnose and resolve control system, motion, and HMI issues\nSupport Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT)\nOptimize system behavior using diagnostics, logging, and performance data\n- Electrical & System Integration\nCollaborate with electrical engineering on control system design and compliance\nInterface with machine safety systems\nCoordinate with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure system readiness\nEducation & Experience Recommended\nBachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent combination of education and experience)\nTypically 4-7 years of experience in industrial automation, machine controls, or PLC software development (3-5 years with an advanced degree)\nExperience in OEM machine builder or high-speed industrial equipment environments preferred\nKnowledge & Skills\n- Core Skills\nPLC-based control system development\nIEC 61131-3 programming (Structured Text preferred)\nMotion control and servo systems\nIndustrial communication protocols, including:Real-time Ethernet-based networks\nPROFIBUS / PROFINET\nPOWERLINK\nEthernet/IP\nOPC UA for higher-level system integration\n\nHMI development for industrial equipment\nCommissioning, diagnostics, and troubleshooting\nModular software design and system standardization\n- Preferred Qualifications\nExperience with B&R Automation Studio for industrial control system development\nHands-on experience implementing B&R mapp Technology in a production environment, including:mapp Motion for single-axis, multi-axis, and coordinated motion control, including motion sequencing and performance tuning\nmapp Safety for integration of safety logic, safety PLCs, and safe motion functions\nmapp View (HTML5 HMI) for developing standardized, maintainable operator interfaces using reusable widgets and services\nmapp Alarm / AlarmX for alarm handling, prioritization, diagnostics, and operator guidance\nmapp Recipe for configuration-driven machine setup and repeatable process execution\nmapp OEE and Data Recorder for performance monitoring, diagnostics, logging, and analysis to support uptime, quality, and throughput improvements\n\nExperience designing configuration-driven architectures that minimize custom PLC code and support reuse across machine platforms\nCompletion of B&R Automation Academy training (Automation Studio, mapp Technology, Motion, HMI, or Safety) preferred\nExperience supporting high-speed web-handling or continuous-process equipment, such as HP Industrial PageWide Web Presses or similar platforms\nCross-Organization Skills\nEffective communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders\nResults orientation and strong ownership mindset\nLearning agility and adaptability\nDigital fluency and systems thinking\nCustomer-centric approach to solution development\nImpact & Scope\nDirectly influences equipment uptime, print quality, and production throughput\nDrives control system standardization across platforms\nReduces operational risk and lifecycle cost through reusable architectures\nSupports long-term platform scalability and reliability\nComplexity\nWorks on complex, real-time, multi-domain control systems\nBalances software, motion, safety, and hardware constraints\nRequires judgment in selecting configuration-based solutions versus custom extensions\nSolves non-routine problems encountered during commissioning and field operation\nThe pay range for this role is $105,050 to $161,800 USD annually with additional\nopportunities for pay in the form of bonus and/or equity (applies to United\nStates of America candidates
