Automation & Controls Engineer

We are looking for an Automation & Controls Engineer to join our expanding internal automation team. This role is for someone who digs into root causes, not just symptoms — someone who drives long-term improvements rather than just firefights day-to-day issues. You will be heavily involved in PLC programming, HMI/SCADA design, and process control optimization, particularly on Rockwell systems.

• Develop, maintain, and optimize PLC code using Studio 5000 (ladder logic, FBDs).
• Design and deploy HMI/SCADA systems using FactoryTalk View SE/ME.
• Configure and manage Batch control systems using FactoryTalk Batch, following ISA-88 standards (area models, phases, recipes).
• Troubleshoot DCS (Distributed Control System) issues, identify root causes, and implement long-term solutions.
• Lead or assist in commissioning and startup of control systems (new or modified).
• Support electrical design, instrumentation, and networking tasks on occasion.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to enhance process control and automation.
• Provide training and technical support to DCS users.
• Define and enforce programming standards and best practices.
• Contribute to strategic automation initiatives and long-term planning.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, or Computer Engineering.
• 3–6 years of experience in industrial automation & controls.

• Proficiency in Rockwell Automation platforms:

• Studio 5000

• FactoryTalk View SE/ME
• FactoryTalk Batch
• Excellent problem-solving skills, including diagnosing and resolving control system issues.
• Ability to own projects, work independently, and collaborate across teams.
