Our client is seeking a passionate Controls Engineer looking for a challenging and diverse

career experience. This is a unique opportunity for a technologically diverse organization

with broad design opportunities in new product development.

Successful candidate must have a proven background in automatic control systems,

electrical hardware design/troubleshooting experience (at both the circuit board level and

system level), development, and implementation. Candidate must have a BSEE, MSEE, or

equivalent engineering discipline with a minimum of two years of experience.

Responsibilities

Participate in the product definition stage of the product life cycle by providing detailed

input on, and developing, electrical and software/firmware system requirements and

design documentation.

The Controls Engineer will be responsible for hardware definitions for new products by

developing point-to-point wiring schematics, electrical/electronic component

specifications, and provide electrical equipment fabrication oversight.

Candidates should be self-starters and require very little oversight. Hands-on

troubleshooting skills will be required for installation, commissioning, and startup

In addition, the successful Controls Engineer candidate will develop project schedules,

coordinate Integrated Product Team activities, track subsystem technical status

specifying the overall design approach to be taken, as well as requirement creation and

design documentation.
