Controls Hardware Engineer

Controls Hardware Engineer

Location: Flexibly Remote must be comfortable to travel to:

Joplin, MO | Phillipsburg, KS | Dallas, TX | Tuscaloosa, AL | or Frederick, MD

Travel: Up to 30%

No Sponsorship Available

I'm partnering with a well-established manufacturing organization that is rebuilding an important engineering function after several years without dedicated ownership.

They're looking for an experienced Controls Hardware Engineer to lead controls hardware design standards across multiple manufacturing facilities.

This is not a PLC programming role. Instead, this is an opportunity for someone who has experience electrical design, controls hardware, panel design, and engineering standards to make a lasting impact across an entire organization.

What You'll Do:

Develop and standardize controls hardware design practices across multiple manufacturing facilities

Review electrical drawings, control panel designs, and hardware selections before projects are executed

Create and improve engineering standards, documentation, and approval processes

Work closely with plant engineering, implementation, R&D, and contract engineering teams

Travel to manufacturing sites to support projects and design reviews

Serve as the technical authority for controls hardware and electrical system design

What They're Looking For

5+ years of industrial controls or electrical engineering experience

Strong AutoCAD experience

Hands-on experience designing industrial control panels and electrical control systems

Experience creating or reviewing electrical schematics

Experience standardizing and designing hardware for siemens control systems (I.E. s7-1500, s120, G120 Etc.)

Strong understanding of controls hardware, electrical design, and industrial manufacturing environments

Preferred Experience:

Siemens controls hardware (S7-1500, G120, S120)

Industrial power distribution

Hardware standardization

Brownfield manufacturing projects

Multi-site manufacturing support

Why This Role Stands Out:

This position offers the opportunity to build something from the ground up.

You'll have the opportunity to establish engineering standards, improve review processes, and become the go-to resource for controls hardware across multiple manufacturing facilities.

If you're looking to move into a role where you can influence engineering decisions across an entire organization, this is a unique opportunity to do exactly that.
