Job description

At MacroAir, we invented the High Volume, Low Speed (HVLS) fan — and we’re still redefining what’s possible in air movement technology.

We’re looking for a hands‑on Electrical Controls Engineer to own the design, programming, and integration of the control systems that power our next generation of MacroAir fans. This is an engineering role — not maintenance — where you’ll build, debug, and refine real control logic that drives innovation, performance, and reliability.

What You’ll Do

• Design, program, and maintain C++ applications for HMIs and control interfaces using Modbus, BACnet, and related industrial protocols.
• Integrate and configure VFDs, drives, and motor controllers to achieve precise, stable fan performance.
• Develop and validate control architectures that ensure safety, reliability, and scalability across product lines.
• Generate and maintain wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, configuration standards, and technical documentation.
• Lead troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis for system‑level control or electrical issues during development and field support.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with firmware, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to ensure system integrity and product consistency.
• Participate in validation and compliance testing for new and existing products.
• Research emerging technologies in motor control, automation, and communication protocols to strengthen MacroAir’s product leadership.

What You’ll Bring (Required Skills)

You won’t be successful in this role without:

• Proficiency in C++ for control interfaces or embedded systems.
• Hands‑on experience with Modbus, BACnet, and industrial automation networks.
• Proven ability to integrate and configure VFDs, motor controllers, and related hardware.
• Ability to read and produce wiring diagrams and electrical schematics.
• Strong diagnostic and troubleshooting skills for control and electrical systems.
• Clear, disciplined technical documentation and communication habits.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Controls, or related Engineering field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Familiarity with HVAC, building automation, or industrial controls systems.
• Understanding of TCP/IP, serial communication, and tools like oscilloscopes or logic analyzers.
• Experience in product validation, compliance testing, or embedded system debugging.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for testing, validation, or field support (typically less than 10%).
• Ability to thrive in a flat, high‑accountability environment where ideas turn into product fast.

MacroAir Technologies is headquartered in DFW, TX, with operations and partners worldwide. Join us if you’re ready to take ownership, solve hard problems, and move air — differently.
