About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on controls engineering technician to be the first line of response when something stops — or before it does. You'll work directly alongside the controls engineering team, owning day-to-day line health while they focus on deeper system development. This isn't a desk job. You'll be on the floor, online with PLCs, moving through robot programs, and hunting down faults before they become downtime.

Responsibilities

Go online with Siemens S7-series PLCs to monitor, diagnose, and identify fault conditions
Jog and run Fanuc robot programs, step through sequences, identify positional or logic issues, and perform minor program touchups under engineering direction
Use Ignition SCADA/HMI to monitor line status, review tag history, and identify trends that indicate developing issues
Respond to line stoppages and perform first-response diagnostics
Document fault history, observations, and recurring issues in a clear, usable format
Support PMs and controls engineers on commissioning, upgrades, and change verification
Learn system architecture across the line — conveyors, AGVs, robots, safety systems — and build toward owning more of it over time

Requirements

2+ years of hands-on experience in an industrial automation environment
Working familiarity with Siemens TIA Portal or STEP 7 — able to go online, navigate program blocks, and interpret ladder or FBD logic
Experience jogging and troubleshooting Fanuc robots — R-30iB controller or newer preferred
Basic understanding of SCADA/HMI platforms; Ignition experience is a plus
Ability to read electrical schematics and I/O wiring diagrams
Strong situational awareness on the floor
Clear written communication
Exposure to PROFINET or other industrial fieldbus protocols
Familiarity with PROFIsafe or functional safety concepts
Experience with AGV systems or automated material handling
Ability to work 2nd shift hours (3:30pm CST - 12:00am CST)
