Controls Engineer -- Precision Industrial Cleaning Systems | Mason, OH (On-Site)
Job Description
We build precision industrial cleaning systems that large manufacturers rely on in their production operations — high-value, configured-to-order machines ranging from $300K to over $1M each. We're growing, and we're looking for a Controls Engineer to join our team on-site in Mason, Ohio.
\n
\n
This is a role for someone who wants to own controls end-to-end — from schematic to startup — on complex, one-of-a-kind machines, and see their work run in the field at some of the largest manufacturers in the country.
\n
What you'll do:
\n
- \n
- Design PLC programs using Beckhoff TwinCAT
- Design electrical controls architecture in AutoCAD Electrical — schematics and panel layouts
- Design and build HMI programs (we use Copa-Data Zenon — we'll train you if you're strong on the fundamentals)
- Generate electrical bills of material and partner with Purchasing on procurement
- Debug, test, and start up new machines
- Support the build team and installation/service team with controls troubleshooting
- Produce machine manuals and documentation
- Research and design controls improvements
- Work closely with Project Managers to deliver on scope and budget

- Solid PLC and HMI experience — Beckhoff TwinCAT (Structured Text Programming) is a strong plus.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical for schematics and panel design
- Working knowledge of Ignition or other SCADA based systems
- Hands-on comfort: someone who's debugged and started up real machines, not just written code
- Ability to read a build, spot electrical issues, and solve them on the floor
- Strong documentation habits
- Willingness to travel occasionally (~5%) for on-site installation and service — rare, but expected now and then
