- Develop controls modernization concepts and define hardware, software, interfaces, engineering, commissioning, and implementation requirements.
- Coordinate with mechanical, software, execution, and external partners to deliver controls solutions for standalone or integrated projects.
- Own the controls solution definition, equipment requirements, bill of materials, cost estimate, schedule, assumptions, and exclusions.
- Provide a clear post-award handoff of the solution, key assumptions, and technical requirements to execution teams.
- Share technical knowledge and guide colleagues on ASRS controls applications, estimating practices, and solution development.
- Manage multiple opportunities and competing priorities while maintaining accurate schedules, risk assessments, and forecasts.
- Travel up to 20% to customer and Dematic locations within the United States.
What We Are Looking For:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, or a related technical field—or equivalent education and relevant experience in controls and material-handling systems.
- 9+ years of applicable experience in controls engineering, material handling, estimating, commissioning, or related disciplines, including the design, modernization, or commissioning of automated material-handling or industrial automation systems.
- Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, drives, safety controls, industrial communications, network architecture, and system interfaces, with experience using Rockwell, Siemens, or a comparable industrial controls platform.
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics, PLC programs, and complex or less clearly defined controls issues and translate technical information into clear solution requirements.
- Strong skills in customer discovery, verbal and written communication, and presentation, with the ability to define customer requirements, influence solution decisions, and clearly communicate technical alternatives, tradeoffs, and value.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and related business tools used to develop technical documentation, cost estimates, and customer proposals.
- Controls estimating experience is preferred, including labor, hardware, software, commissioning, travel, implementation resources, and project schedules.
- Knowledge of vendor capabilities, contractor performance, labor markets, and pricing trends.
- Direct experience with ASRS controls is strongly preferred, including SRMs, onboard and offboard control systems, brownfield modernization, controls migration, obsolescence planning, lifecycle upgrades, and phased implementation in operating facilities.
- Experience integrating warehouse control systems (WCS), warehouse execution systems (WES), host systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), or enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is preferred.
- Demonstrated commitment to staying current with evolving controls technologies, ASRS applications, and material-handling industry practices.
