The Role

VIAVI Solutions manufactures advanced optical thin-film and pigment coating products across a 24/7 production environment in Santa Rosa, CA, with additional sites in China and Arizona.

Design, develop, and maintain PLC and HMI systems for manufacturing equipment
Commission new automation hardware and software; integrate with existing infrastructure
Configure and commission motor drives, motion systems, and closed-loop control systems
Design and administer SQL databases; manage industrial networks (Profibus, Ethernet/IP, OPC)
Maintain source control, documentation, and change records for all control system work
Lead or contribute to capital project scoping, scheduling, and execution
Mentor junior engineers; collaborate across Operations, Maintenance, and Engineering teams
Demonstrate communication and leadership skills aligned with future management growth

Pre-Requisites / Skills / Experience Requirements:

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Automation, or equivalent experience
5+ years in industrial controls/automation in a manufacturing environment
PLC programming: Siemens Step 7 / TIA Portal or Mitsubishi GX Developer
Experience supporting automation in 24/7 or continuous production environments
Programming with Visual Studio, C#
End-to-end ownership of capital project automation scope
HMI development, industrial networking, SQL databases, source code management
Strong troubleshooting skills; ability to read electrical schematics and P&IDs
Excellent communication skills; occasional international travel required

Preferred Skills

Allen-Bradley / Rockwell or Honeywell PLC platforms
LabVIEW, Wonderware System Platform, Oracle, Linux, Windows administration
Vision systems, vacuum coating processes, optics knowledge
Prior team-lead experience

Leadership & Management Growth Path — High performers will have the opportunity to eventually lead the Controls team technically and move into formal management of VIAVI's Automation Controls Engineering group. Growth is supported through stretch assignments, leadership visibility, and formal development planning.
