Controls Engineer- ON SITE

???? Adelanto, CA | ???? Full-Time | ???? Manufacturing | ???? EBARA HG

Do you enjoy seeing your work come to life—from the first schematic to a fully tested machine leaving the shop floor? We’re looking for a Controls Engineer who wants true end-to-end ownership of control systems: scoping and estimating the job, designing the system, building and programming it, and proving it works before it ships to the customer.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer who is just as comfortable at a panel with a wire stripper as at a desk with AutoCAD. You’ll work closely with sales, purchasing, production, and our customers, and your designs will directly shape the equipment we deliver.

What You’ll Do

• Turn customer process and equipment requirements into complete control-system designs
• Build controls scope and cost estimates for customer bids—materials, panel construction, programming, integration, and testing
• Select components and vendors, working with purchasing and suppliers on specs, pricing, and availability
• Create electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and assembly documentation
• Build and wire control panels yourself, or guide and verify the work of our shop team and outside suppliers
• Program PLCs and configure VFDs, HMIs, instrumentation, and communications
• Integrate controls with equipment, calibrate instruments, and run factory acceptance testing before shipment
• Maintain part numbers, BOMs, drawings, programs, and technical documentation in our ERP system
• Drive continuous improvement through engineering change requests and better design and assembly methods
• Support commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting—remotely or on site at customer locations
• Serve as our UL 508A Manufacturer Technical Representative (once qualified)

What You Bring

• Diploma or degree in electrical/electronics engineering, engineering technology, automation, mechatronics, or a related field
• 2+ years designing and integrating equipment control systems in a manufacturing environment
• Hands-on experience building, wiring, and troubleshooting control panels
• PLC programming experience and the ability to configure VFDs, operator interfaces, and instrumentation
• Ability to prepare and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and bills of materials
• Experience preparing controls cost estimates, selecting components, and coordinating with vendors
• Proficiency with AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks (or other 2D/3D modeling software)
• Strong math skills, including geometry and trigonometry, and clear written and verbal communication in English
• A self-starter mindset with strong organization, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills

Nice to Have

• Current UL 508A Manufacturer Technical Representative qualification (or willingness to obtain it—we’ll support you)
• Experience with SYSPRO or another ERP system
• Knowledge of rotating equipment

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary with bonus potential, based on experience and qualifications
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• 401k plan with employer match
• Vacation pay, sick time, and statutory holiday pay
• End-to-end ownership of projects and a direct line to the Director of Engineering
• A mix of design, hands-on build, and customer-facing work—no two projects are the same
• Opportunity to work with a growing global company recognized for engineering excellence

Work Environment

• Split between the office and the manufacturing floor, with regular shop-floor presence across shifts as needed
• Travel up to 5% for commissioning and customer support
• Occasional extended hours to meet project and delivery deadlines
• Physical work including standing, walking, stooping, lifting, carrying, and hands-on panel building and
