Controls Engineer

We are seeking a Controls Engineer to support the development, deployment, and continuous improvement of advanced autonomous robotic welding systems. This role sits at the intersection of industrial automation, artificial intelligence, and computer vision — supporting highly flexible robotic platforms designed to operate with minimal traditional programming.

This is an opportunity to work on next-generation automation systems that leverage AI to adapt to part variation, optimize weld quality, and increase manufacturing throughput.

• Design, develop, and implement PLC and motion control systems for robotic welding cells
• Integrate robotics, vision systems, sensors, and AI-enabled automation platforms
• Develop and maintain HMI interfaces and system diagnostics
• Troubleshoot complex electrical and control system issues in production environments
• Support commissioning and startup of automated welding systems
• Collaborate with software, robotics, and AI teams to enhance system performance
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, I/O layouts, and control documentation
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on reliability, uptime, and scalability

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of experience in industrial automation or robotics controls
• Strong PLC programming experience (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar platforms)
• Experience integrating robotic systems (Fanuc, ABB, KUKA, or similar)
