ELECTRICAL CONTROLS ENGINEER

Design the control systems that keep food and beverages moving worldwide!

You’ll take the lead on the electrical intelligence that drives custom food and beverage packaging and processing equipment—PLC, motion, panels, the whole control spine.

From clean-sheet electrical cabinet design through PLC and Motion Control programming, testing, and debug, you own the performance before that machine ever sees a production floor.

Every project is different. Every system is yours to make rock solid.

If you live for motion control, tight electrical design, and solving real-world production problems, we want to talk to you.

• Sensors, field devices, and safety-related controls
• Domestic and international code-compliant designs
• Commissioning checklists and pre-shipment validation
• Technical support for new or problem installations

You’ll work with technologies like Allen-Bradley, Danaher, and Copley stepper/servo motors and drives, plus ERP, CAD, and MS Office tools to keep designs and documentation tight.

You’re the one making sure each machine not only runs—but runs right, every time.

What We’re Looking For

• BSEE or comparable technical degree in electrical, automation, or controls engineering
• Hands-on PLC and Motion Control programming, testing, and debugging experience
• Experience with motion control devices including Allen-Bradley, Danaher, and Copley stepper/servo motors and drives
