• Lead controls planning and execution for die-casting, machining, melting, material handling, and plant improvement projects.

• Review and guide hardware designs, software changes, controls architecture, testing, commissioning, buyoff, and documentation.

• Coordinate with area manufacturing engineers on process changes, equipment planning, model change, throughput, sourcing, and project timing.

• Develop project scopes, schedules, cost estimates, investment forecasts, business cases, appropriation requests, and execution plans.

• Support Device Level Analytics and related plant digital initiatives through PLC configuration, device onboarding, data validation, health checks, and training.

• Apply GM controls, electrical, safety, lockout, ESWP, and equipment buyoff standards; ensure safe work practices are the highest priority.

• Use data and statistical problem-solving methods to improve equipment availability, cycle time, quality, capacity, and cost.

• Maintain effective working relationships with plant leadership, hourly employees, union partners, suppliers, contractors, and technical organizations.

• Lead a team of controls engineers and share lessons learned, standards, and best practices across the Bedford controls team.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on technical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in controls engineering, automation engineering, robotics engineering, or manufacturing systems integration.

• Strong knowledge of industrial control systems and the ability to apply that knowledge in a manufacturing or production environment.

• Experience with PLC and HMI programming, industrial networking, and controls system troubleshooting.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated technical leadership experience integrating or supporting robotics, automated equipment, or advanced manufacturing systems.

• Experience supporting equipment buyoff, installation, launch, commissioning, and production startup.

• Experience with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, industrial Ethernet, and related plant-floor communication interfaces.

• Experience with machine vision, vision-guided robotics, automated inspection, or error-proofing systems.

• Experience influencing technical decisions, leading others, and driving improvements beyond an immediate assignment area.
