About the Role:

We are an industry-leading provider of high-precision manufacturing equipment and automation solutions powering critical applications across aerospace, medical device, electronics, and automotive tech. We don't just sell equipment; we solve complex engineering challenges that enable next-generation technology to come to life.

Are you ready to bring high-precision automated machinery to life? We are seeking a Senior Systems Control Engineer to lead the hands-on design, development, and deployment of sophisticated industrial control systems.

In this dynamic position, you will bridge hardware and software—transforming complex customer concepts into high-performance processing workstations. If you thrive on programming precision motion, integrating industrial robotics and vision systems, and seeing your code physically move multi-axis machinery in real time, this opportunity is built for you.

• Multi-Platform PLC Development: Write clean, reusable PLC logic across multiple industry platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron, Mitsubishi) integrated with real-time SCADA, HMI, and OPC UA protocols.
• Precision Motion Control: Craft structured, low-level motion control code for high-accuracy platforms (Delta-Tau, Aerotech, ACS) managing multi-axis motion, lasers, and custom I/O functions.
• Vision & Floor Connectivity: Integrate off-the-shelf industrial vision systems (Cognex, Keyence) for inspection and drive plant-floor data networking across standard industrial protocols.
• Partner with cross-functional teams in engineering, production, QA, and sales to deliver turnkey systems on schedule.
• Author robust software documentation, functional specs, and system interface guides to ensure long-term maintainability.
• Support system acceptance testing and continually refine internal controls development methodologies.

Qualifications:

• Deep technical expertise in RSLogix/Studio 5000, EtherNet/IP, Point I/O, and OPC UA environments.
• 7+ years of experience designing custom motion control and HMI software; 3+ years integrating custom machine vision applications.
• Strong foundation in object-oriented design and structured software architecture for hardware integration.
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, ability to read electrical schematics, and readiness for occasional customer travel.
• Four-year degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline required (Master’s preferred).
• Proven track record delivering complex industrial automation or custom machinery projects end-to-end.

Benefits:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• 401(k) savings plan.
