Fuse3 Solutions is proud to partner with a local manufacturer to aid them in a search for an Electrical Controls Engineer.
Overview of Role
This position requires an Electrical Controls Engineer with hands-on experience in automation, electrical systems design, programming, troubleshooting, and data collection within manufacturing environments. The role involves handling both industrial machinery and production equipment, including support for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Familiarity with electrical distribution for low-voltage systems is needed, along with an understanding of industry standards like NEC, UL508, and NFPA 79.
Primary Responsibilities
- Conduct troubleshooting and repair tasks on electrical control systems within production machinery.
- Regularly communicate with Supervisors and Manufacturing Applications Engineers to clarify equipment and machine functions.
- Work with both single and three-phase systems
- Assemble and wire panels, configure electrical controls, and address any electrical control needs as they arise.
- Program and configure PLCs, with a focus on ladder logic; experience with Idec, Allen Bradley, Omron, and Siemens is a plus.
- Set up and maintain automation devices, including PLCs, VFDs, HMIs, and servo motors.
- Knowledge of serial communications is beneficial
- Competence with SCADA systems, specifically Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical is required.
- Source and specify electrical components and systems as assigned or required.
Qualifications
To thrive in this role, a candidate should bring both technical expertise and practical experience. Key qualifications are as follows:
Education and Background
- Bachelor’s degree preferred, but equivalent experience of 1-2 years in a similar technical setting is acceptable.
Technical Skills
- Strong grasp of problem-solving techniques with the ability to gather data, draw conclusions, and implement solutions.
- Experience interpreting complex instructions, especially in diagram or mathematical formats, and navigating abstract technical scenarios.
Communication and Language Proficiency
- Able to interpret and communicate technical documents, including regulations, reports, and manuals.
- Proficiency in drafting clear reports, business correspondence, and technical procedures.
- Comfortable presenting information and addressing questions from managers or team leads.
Computer Skills
- Competency with Windows-based software, MS Office, drafting tools (e.g., AutoCAD), SCADA applications, and necessary programming packages for electrical components.

Familiarity with electrical distribution for low-voltage systems (below 600V) is needed, along with an understanding of industry standards like NEC, UL508, and NFPA 79.
Primary Responsibilities
- Conduct troubleshooting and repair tasks on electrical control systems within production machinery.
- Regularly communicate with Supervisors and Manufacturing Applications Engineers to clarify equipment and machine functions.
- Work with both single and three-phase systems up to 600 VAC and 1000 VDC.
- Assemble and wire panels, configure electrical controls, and address any electrical control needs as they arise.
- Program and configure PLCs, with a focus on ladder logic; experience with Idec, Allen Bradley, Omron, and Siemens is a plus.
- Set up and maintain automation devices, including PLCs, VFDs, HMIs, and servo motors.
- Knowledge of serial communications, particularly RS232 and RS485, is beneficial, as we maintain some legacy systems.
- Competence with SCADA systems, specifically Inductive Automation’s Ignition platform.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical is required.
- Source and specify electrical components and systems as assigned or required.
