What you?ll do
Thermal constraints limit AI infrastructure, semiconductor equipment, power electronics, and defense systems. JCI removes those constraints. Enabled by the Stack Forging? process, JCI produces high-performance thermal components and cooling loop solutions ? purpose-built for direct integration into AI, HPC, and mission-critical systems. JCI has built the industry\'s leading thermal management platform for the applications that demand it most.
As a Builder on the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions team at Johnson Controls,you\'lljoin a team of sleeve-rollers whoseta high bar for themselves and their co-workers. We foster a collaborative culture with no silos, where everyone is encouraged to thinkout loud. If you are passionate about your craft anddon\'tgive up untilyou\'vefound a way, you will make an ideal Builder!
As a Senior Controls Engineer, you will work with an interdisciplinary team to design and implement the industrial controls systems for JCI Stack Forging machines.Strong communication, flexibility, and the desire to ?wear many hats? will all be essential skills for any successful applicant.You have experience working with complex machines from concept to execution, solving tough engineering challenges along the way. You take full ownership of your projects, driving them forward independently whilemaintaininga strong senseof urgency. You know when to pivot, prioritize, and adapt to shifting demands to keep progress on track
You area hands-on controlsengineer who enjoys solving complex automation challenges and taking ownership of machine control systems from concept through commissioning. You have experience designing industrial control systems, motion control, and electrical hardware, and are comfortable working with cross-functional teams, vendors, and technicians to deliver reliable, safe, and high-performing equipment. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, apply a safety-first mindset to every design, and are driven to continuously improve machine performance through practical, innovative engineering solutions.
