A Day in the Life…

AeroSpec’s Control System Project Engineer will face many rewarding challenges in their day-to-day experiences. Using a Scrum-based project management methodology, along with sophisticated visual management of tasks, the Project Engineer will engage with peers on a daily basis discussing schedule, planning and resource forecasting for current and upcoming projects. Technical reviews of on-going projects, peer reviews of junior engineers’ work and customer-facing reviews and submittals ensure requirements and responsibilities are accurately communicated. The Project Engineer may be engaged on up-to-a-dozen projects at any one time in various states of our internal workflow.

What you will do:

• Manage the engineering and control system design for a variety of assembly, test, and; facility applications including lean equipment, large scale assembly and processing lines, specialized test equipment, and facility control panels. These control systems may contain PLCs, IPCs, industrial Ethernet networks, distributed I/O, drives, motors, sensors, industrial user interfaces, power management, surge suppression and interfacing with electronic, hydraulic and pneumatic system components.
• Participate in equipment conceptual development and carefully balance system specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time limits
• Budget & Quoting
• Collaborate with the control systems software development group to ensure software meets design requirements for the proposed control system architecture
• Provide block diagrams and other graphic specifications to define all critical elements of the control system architecture. Be able to defend the system concept and component selection to client Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
• Implement ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061 compliant control safety systems for safeguarding robots, gantries, conveyors, and other high-volume manufacturing equipment
• Manage the development of detailed control system wiring diagrams, electrical & pneumatics schematics, enclosure/back panel drawings, and parts lists. Participate in peer reviews of the system to ensure compliance with AeroSpec common practices and industry standards (i.e. UL)
• Collaborate with the company’s purchasing and operation staff to ensure the correct parts are ordered and received. Provide guidance and oversight when needed during panel and/or control system fabrication and integration
• Provide mentoring for junior controls engineers and integration technicians on various aspects of control system design and development
  
  

What we need:

• Minimum of five years of professional level hands-on experience managing, specifying, installing, testing, optimizing and commissioning complex industrial automation and control systems for process control, and industrial automation
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or other degree augmented with relevant experience
• Broad experience working with electrical and automation components from manufacturers such as Rockwell Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Phoenix Contact, Cognex, Square D, Festo, SMC, Wiedmueller, Wago, Hoffman, etc.
• Experience with common field devices used in automation such as robots, laser systems, machine vision systems, indexers, pick and places, etc.
• Expert proficiency at integrating PLCs, IPCs, and HMIs into control systems.
• Extensive background with motion control using industrial drives, servomotors, stepper motors, linear motors, etc.
• Highly experienced with networking industrial automation systems and subsystems.
