• Working knowledge of at least one of our PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Omron, Beckhoff/Codesys, Siemens, Keyence); we will train on the others
• Ability to read and work from electrical schematics
• Comfort with a meter and a laptop on the floor, troubleshooting I/O, sensors, and drives on a live machine
• Able to run a project independently and ask for help when it is bigger than one person
• Willingness to travel for commissioning and startup, approximately 15%
• A plus, not required: UL508A control panel design and panel build experience
• HMI development experience
• VFD and servo commissioning experience
• Fanuc (or other industrial robot) programming
• EtherNet/IP and other industrial network experience
• Background in medical, food, CPG, or cleanroom automation
• Experience with closure lining or stacking equipment

Other Requirements:

• Must be able to work under pressure and meet deadlines, while maintaining a positive attitude
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel domestically to customer sites
• Able to work on the shop floor and at customer sites, including standing, kneeling, and lifting up to 50 lb

Responsibilities:

• Design and program PLC control systems, primarily in ladder logic (Allen-Bradley, Omron, Beckhoff/Codesys, Siemens, Keyence)
• Develop HMI applications (Keyence VT, FactoryTalk Optix, and similar)
• Program and integrate Fanuc robots into custom work cells
• Commission and tune VFDs and servo motion axes
• Support control panel design, build, and debug with our electrical designers and technicians
• Troubleshoot electrical and controls problems on the floor and at customer sites
• Travel to customer sites for installation, startup, and field support
• Work with mechanical and electrical engineers through the life of a project, and with sales during quoting when needed
• Document control programs and produce operator training material

Pay Range: $85k/yr. - $120k/yr.
