Description
As a Controls Engineer, you'll get to play with toys...big toys. We handle all of the electrical and programming needs for the campus related to the manufacturing equipment. What type of equipment? Glad you asked. We primarily deal with metal forming equipment. Specifically, we cut, punch, form, bend, weld, paint, and assemble. To do these operations, our equipment varies from presses to robot cells to assembly lines and a whole lot more. That means we never get bored and always have different types of equipment to play with. We stay busy with tasks ranging from day-to-day operations support to retrofitting machines and building new equipment. We get to work with all of this and still go home to our families every night and experience what it really means to have a good work/life balance. If you are excited to work on equipment, play well with others, and want to help support our team and operations, then this might be a great fit for you.
