Collaborate & Raise the Standard

• Connect teams. Work across Innovation, Product, Engineering Operations, Manufacturing, Project Management, Field Service, Applications, and Commercial teams to keep development focused on real customer and business value.
• Engage externally. Collaborate with customers, suppliers, and technology partners to evaluate solutions and gather feedback.
• Make knowledge usable. Keep programs, electrical documentation, configurations, test records, and backups accurate and under version control, then share learning across teams.
• Keep improving. Strengthen development methods, testing practices, reusable content, and technology standards using lessons from prototypes, pilots, and field applications.

What Success Looks Like

• You anchor innovation in a clear customer, market, or operational need.
• You turn promising ideas into functional, testable prototypes.
• You use evidence to decide what to advance, reshape, or stop.
• You move winning concepts beyond proof of concept into products, platforms, standards, or reusable modules.
• You build controls architectures and software that are safe, reliable, maintainable, and ready to reuse.
• You surface technical issues early, solve them at root cause, and equip other teams to adopt and sustain the solution.

What You’ll Bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation/Controls, or a related field—or an equivalent blend of technical education and experience.
• 5+ years designing, programming, integrating, testing, or commissioning industrial automation and controls.
• Strong PLC and HMI development experience.
• Hands-on experience with servo motion, VFDs, sensors, industrial networks, and machine-safety technologies.
• The ability to read, create, and update electrical schematics, panel layouts, and bills of material using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar tools.
• Experience supporting automated equipment through debug, FAT, installation, start-up, commissioning, and SAT.
• A talent for translating customer challenges into technical requirements, experiments, and practical concepts.
• Clear communication, sound judgement, and the flexibility to make progress as requirements and priorities evolve.

Even Better If You Have

• Experience with Rockwell Automation, Siemens, or Allen-Bradley platforms.
• Depth in robotics, machine vision, high-speed servo motion, simulation, data acquisition, advanced sensing, or inspection.
• Experience with FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa/Motoman, or Universal Robots.
• Knowledge of industrial connectivity and data protocols such as OPC UA or MQTT.
• Familiarity with version control for controls software and with product-development or commercialisation processes.

Physical Requirements

• Comfortable combining extended computer-based programming and testing with hands-on work around machinery.
• Able to stand, walk, bend, reach, climb, and kneel when inspecting, testing, troubleshooting, or commissioning equipment.
• Able to work across office, laboratory, manufacturing, warehouse, and customer environments.
• Able to occasionally lift and carry tools, materials, or equipment weighing up to 50 pounds.
• Comfortable using standard office and engineering equipment, including computers, programming devices, and meters.

Where You’ll Work

• You will work across engineering offices, laboratories, manufacturing and test areas, and customer sites.
• You will work safely around moving machinery and industrial electrical systems, using required PPE.
• Domestic and international travel of up to 25% is expected for projects, pilots, training, and customer support.
• Occasional extended or non-standard hours may be needed during testing, start-up, field installation, or critical project deadlines.
