You will design control panels and the control systems that run them, including PLC programming and scripting, for equipment used primarily in the Oil and Gas industry as well as growing industrial markets.

  • Specify electrical components and materials, and enter Bills of Materials (BOMs) into the MRP system (SAP)
  • Perform software testing using a lab-based test setup before the panel ships
  • Coordinate with purchasing, sales, panel production, QC, and new product engineering
  • Support customers by resolving technical questions and sharing project status updates
  • Manage project scope, schedule, and quality through to successful delivery

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical and/or Controls Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in controls or panel engineering
  • Experience designing control panels and control systems for industrial applications
  • Experience programming Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs)
  • Strong knowledge of control systems, automation, and instrumentation
  • Solid grasp of electrical theory and components
  • Proficient in AutoCAD for drafting electrical schematics and panel layouts
  • Familiarity with industry standards and codes for control panel design
  • Comfortable using test equipment (multimeters, power supplies, 4-20 mA signal simulators)
  • Self-directed team player with strong communication skills, trusted to own projects and make decisions without being micromanaged
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)

Nice to have

  • Proficiency in Lua or similar scripting/programming languages
  • Experience with communication protocols like Ethernet, Modbus, and/or CAN
  • Ability to quickly learn the Altronic product line on the job

What we offer

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
  • Short- & Long-Term Disability
  • Life Insurance
  • Paid Time Off: Vacation, Holidays, Sick Leave, Parental Leave
