Lead Automation Controls Engineer III

You own automation systems from concept to commissioning, designing PLC and HMI controls for a production environment. You will architect control panels, safety circuits, and electrical systems to meet NEC and NFPA standards, while integrating FANUC, ABB, or KUKA robots with precision. This role sits with a national recruiting firm's client in Philadelphia, requiring onsite presence Monday through Friday. You will debug and tune motion control systems using VFDs and servo drives, and build SCADA interfaces for real-time data visualization. A focus on safety and compliance sets this position apart, with direct impact on production uptime and efficiency.

Own the controls engineering lifecycle for industrial automation projects in the Portland metro, spending 70% on PLC programming and 30% on electrical design. You will program, debug, and commission PLC-based systems across Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Allen Bradley platforms, integrating robotics, machine vision, and motion control into custom manufacturing equipment. Work alongside senior controls engineers in a hands-on lab environment, supporting 1-3 projects from concept through startup. This role builds your depth in automation and controls while mentoring you toward technical leadership.

You will design, program, and commission real-time automation systems for Fortune 100 manufacturers, from plant floor PLCs to enterprise SCADA platforms. Work with Rockwell, Siemens, and Wonderware in a collaborative engineering team tackling complex integrations. This role spans 3-5 years of hands-on experience with automation controls, offering mentorship and project ownership from day one.

You will design, program, and commission automated manufacturing systems with PLC, HMI, and robotic controller technologies. You will join the Innovation Systems Team at PennEngineering, collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineers on projects for global customers. This role demands 30% travel to customer sites, offering direct field experience and exposure to diverse manufacturing environments. You will own the full lifecycle from concept to commissioning, making a tangible impact on production efficiency.
