Job Description (General Summary)
Why This Role Exists
This is not a routine controls engineering role focused only on implementation. This role is for an experienced engineer who can take on ambiguous, technically demanding problems and help turn them into practical, field-ready solutions.
You will work as part of an R&D team developing next-generation material handling technologies from early concept through prototype, validation, commissioning, and product handoff. The work requires strong technical judgment, creativity, and ownership. Success in this role means being able to understand the physics and behavior of a system, define the right controls approach, prototype and test quickly, and help turn promising concepts into solutions that deliver customer value.
Position Description
The Senior Automation Controls Engineer will lead controls development for R&D and customer-facing material handling solutions. This person will influence system architecture, develop and validate new concepts, and collaborate across engineering, productization, project execution, field service, and customer support.
This role is especially well suited for someone who enjoys solving complex problems from first principles, working through ambiguity, and building systems that may not have an obvious precedent.
