CONTROLS ENGINEER- COASTAL NEW HAVEN COUNTY

Like to be a key employee in a booming, smaller company?  This business unit of a privately held manufacturer ranks #2 worldwide in their product line.  Due to their success in creating highly customized systems with superior software, sales have doubled in the past two years. They currently have a year backlog in orders.  These systems incorporate material handling, conveyors, robotics, PLC controls, and fabricated metal, and the scale is large—the size of a room or even a building. The atmosphere here is typical for a small company with more orders in their history—exciting, very fast paced, chaotic, and freewheeling.Reporting to the Director of Engineering, the Controls Engineer will be designing PLC (AB & Siemens) and PC-based control systems for large, one-of-a-kind automated machinery systems.  These systems incorporate CANbus, CAN real-time controls, motion controls, DC motors, pneumatic actuators, relay logic, and some power distribution.  They use AutoCAD in house.  The Controls Engineer will be handling most of their own project coordination, and there could be some travel for installations and troubleshooting.  The salary ranges from $70,000 to $90,000, with the target being in the middle.  Benefits are competitive and include Cigna POS Basic with employee co-payment of $24.00 per biweekly pay period, dental, vision, life, flexible spending accounts, short and long term disability, EAP, company matched (25% for first three years, 33% afterwards) 401 (k) plan, accrued paid time off, preferred pricing (1% below invoice) on new Chrysler vehicles, free pizza on Fridays, company picnics and dinners, annual bonuses, and more.  Their facility will be completely renovated this Spring, so you should have a pristine work environment. Sorry, no relocation expenses on this one. Requires a BSEE degree or the equivalent experience and two years or more of Controls Engineering experience with a manufacturer of automated machinery systems, or with a panel house.  Contact Kent Kirkland, C.P.C., at KirklandSEARCH, (203) 729-7000, kirkland@connix.com , for more information.
