We are seeking a Senior Controls, Automation & Integration Design Engineer to lead the design and execution of automation solutions for conveyor, sortation, and material handling systems.

About the Role

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on the design, development, and integration of controls systems for high-speed conveyor and parcel sortation environments. You’ll own projects from concept through startup — developing PLC/HMI logic, designing electrical controls, integrating WCS/WMS systems, supporting FAT/SAT, and troubleshooting during commissioning.

This role is ideal for a senior controls engineer with experience in warehouse automation, parcel sortation, conveyor systems, or industrial automation who enjoys technical ownership and solving complex integration challenges.

Project Ownership & Technical Leadership

Serve as the Lead Controls Engineer on engineered-to-order automation projects
Partner cross-functionally with mechanical engineering, software, manufacturing, project management, and field teams
Mentor junior controls engineers and support technical problem-solving
Participate in design reviews and continuous improvement initiatives

Testing, Commissioning & Field Support

Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT)
Troubleshoot controls and integration issues during startup and commissioning
Provide technical support for panel builds, wiring, and system validation

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
5+ years of experience in controls engineering, automation, or system integration within material handling, parcel, conveyor, or warehouse automation environments
Strong experience with PLC & HMI programming
Experience integrating systems with WCS/WMS platforms
Knowledge of industrial networking, VFDs, motion control, servo systems, and electrical controls
Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and SolidWorks or other 3D CAD software
Familiarity with NFPA 70, NFPA 79, and UL508A standards preferred
Ability to manage multiple technical projects and solve complex automation challenges

Preferred Backgrounds
