Full Job Description

Fairmount Technologies (FT) is a growing advanced manufacturing company developing tooling-free CNC systems that dramatically reduce cost and lead time for aerospace and defense manufacturers. Our machines are already in production, running on real factory floors, and demand is accelerating.

Recent milestone: FT was selected for a U.S. Department of Defense APFIT award, supporting deployment of our systems across multiple Air Force maintenance depots. This marks a major step as we scale production and expand our engineering team.

We’re looking for an Automation & Controls Engineer to join our small, highly technical team and help design, build, and deploy next-generation machine tools.

What You’ll Be Working On

You’ll contribute across the full lifecycle of our machine control systems, including:

Designing and implementing control software for advanced electromechanical systems
Developing and testing motion control, PLC logic, safety systems, and HMIs
Integrating electrical hardware, control software, and external equipment into cohesive machine systems
Writing and refining control logic (e.g., Structured Text, Function Block Diagrams)
Creating and reviewing control panel designs and system architectures
Running extensive testing and trial runs to verify functionality and performance
Troubleshooting hardware, software, and communication issues efficiently
Improving existing control software for reliability, performance, and maintainability
Developing operations documentation, manuals, and training materials
Ensuring proper communication between programs, machines, networks, and external devices

This is a hands-on role focused on new machine development and production systems, not just maintenance or support.

Why This Role Is Different

Small company → big technical ownership from day one
Highly unique machine tools and smart manufacturing systems
Blend of automation, electrical, motion, and systems-level engineering
Direct involvement in machines that go from prototype to customer deployment
Opportunity to grow technically and professionally as production ramps up

You’ll see your work move from concept → machine → factory floor.

What We Offer

Competitive salary based on experience and scope of role (Typical range: $80,000–$120,000+)
Flexible working hours
Profit sharing, so you benefit directly from the company’s success
Opportunity to earn phantom equity, allowing you to share in the value you help create (phantom equity provides real economic upside without the complexity or tax burden of traditional equity ownership)
Direct access to leadership and technical decision-making
A chance to grow with the company as manufacturing scales

This Role Might Be Right for You If

You enjoy working at the intersection of automation, electrical systems, and software
You like designing control systems for new machines
You’re comfortable testing, debugging, and improving real hardware/software systems
You want your work to matter in a small, growing engineering team
You’re excited by advanced manufacturing, CNC systems, and automation
You have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering field (or equivalent hands-on experience) and ~3+ years working with PLCs, motion control, or electromechanical automation systems.

Experience with PLCs, motion control, and electromechanical systems is important. Experience with Beckhoff systems, MATLAB, or model-based control design is a plus — but curiosity, ownership, and problem-solving matter just as much as specific tools.

This role requires good manual dexterity and the ability to lift 50+ lbs.

You don’t need to meet every qualification — if this work sounds exciting, we encourage you to apply.

Pay: $80,000.00 - $120,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Dental insurance
Flexible schedule
Health insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
