What You’ll Do What You’ll Bring
- Participate in initial equipment conceptual development and carefully balance product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits
- Lay out new industrial electrical control panels which are NFPA79/NEC/UL508A compliant, and create electrical, pneumatic and fluid schematics
- Architect, write, and debug PLC ladder logic with an emphasis on generating code that is organized, structured, documented, maintainable and reusable. PLC code will interact with subsystems such as conveyors, robots, Manufacturing System (MOS), machine vision, and 3rd party equipment
- Implement (ANSI/RIA15.06/OSHA compliant) control reliable safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high volume manufacturing equipment
- Generate aesthetically simple HMI (Ignition based) screens for complex machinery while providing sufficient feedback for troubleshooting
- Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic and fluid plumbing
- Select and size electrical and electromechanical components such as servos
- Introduce automated processes into production, and train and equip Sustaining Team to support automated equipment after deployment into production
- Create machine interactions with plant-wide Manufacturing System (MOS) to communicate product acceptability, machine status, and process variables
- Bachelor's Degree or equivalent certification or proven equivalent experience
- 1+ years of experience as a hands-on Controls Engineer or Applications Engineer working on automation and/or electromechanical systems
- In depth knowledge of Electrical Standards (NFPA79, National Electric code, UL508A) andSafety standards (ANSI/RIA15.06, OSHA)
