Can you open a blank Studio 5000 project and build a machine from nothing?

Serac Inc builds filling, capping and cup-filling packaging machinery for customers worldwide.

We're looking for a senior automation engineer to lead projects end to end - hardware selection, mechatronic integration, all the software, then out to the customer site for startup.

What you'll do:

• Lead automation projects from concept and hardware selection through industrialization
• Develop all required software - Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, structured text, motion control
• Manage the project - budgets, timelines, suppliers, documentation, compliance
• Mentor internal and external engineering teams on troubleshooting and technical decisions
• Run field trials, validation and training at customer sites

You're a great fit if you have:

• Significant Rockwell from-scratch programming background - Siemens a strong bonus
• PLC and motion control depth with structured text; C++/.NET familiarity a plus
• Hands-on troubleshooting across PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, VFDs, instrumentation and 480VAC
• Safety standards knowledge - ISO 13849, IEC 60204, NFPA 79, SISTEMA
• Packaging or industrial machinery OEM experience - machine builds, not plant maintenance
• 7-10+ years in automation/control systems, or a BSEE

No visa sponsorship available. Full-time onsite in Carol Stream, IL.
