Sr. Automation Controls Engineer, Cell Engineering

## What To Expect Automation Control Engineers specialize in designing and deploying high-speed mass manufacturing systems engineered for sub-millisecond scan rate and deterministic performance. This includes architecting and implementing ultra-precise automation solutions across process and discrete production lines while maintaining rigorous control standards for truly scalable systems. We cover a huge range of machinery and process types include mixing, pulling, winding, calendering, stamping, etc.

We also build and implement the material flow, coordination and optimization necessary to deliver manufacturing at a truly mass-production scale.

From development, to commissioning and scaling, controls engineers enable the next generation of manufacturing. ## What You'll Do * Program and debug structure text and ladder logic code on multiple PLC controller platforms (Beckhoff, Siemens, Inovance) * Develop code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable and reusable * Create robust programs and sequences to control complex, multi-station machinery to perform processes such as material pick and place, dispense, fastening, welding, testing and material transport * Design and optimize model predictive controllers, PID controllers and LQR controllers in high-speedmanufacturingsettings for process and discrete equipment * Create intuitive operator touchscreen interfaces using WinCC/Ignition/TwinCAT HMI and SCADA dashboards screens using Ignition, Grafana * Set up and tune servo drives and VFDs for fast and smooth operation (Schneider, B&R, Beckhoff, Siemens, SEW) * Design and implement control reliable safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high-volume manufacturing equipment as per codes and standards * Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic and fluid plumbing * Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and carefully balance productspecifications,
