A day in the life
As a Controls Engineer, your day begins collaborating with Hardware Development Engineers to understand a new automation system’s requirement. You'll evaluate controls design & build controls software using tools like Codesys or Python/Jscript. You will work with Industrial PCs and work with edge applications developing modules & functions to connection to the machines, transform the incoming data and transfer it to the cloud. You will be actively involved in testing the platform, validating the design and continuously improving our tech. You'll meet with cross-functional teams and external vendors to present findings and recommend optimizations. Your afternoon might involve mentoring the team on IoT best practices or coordinating with vendors on complex multi-system IoT applications. You will work with AWS to understand how data post-processing is conducted and use these tools for optimization at the controls level. Each day brings new challenges in digitally validating tomorrow's logistics solutions.
