The Automation Engineer will be primarily responsible for the specifying, supporting, troubleshooting and integrating of automated manufacturing process control systems across multiple manufacturing production facilities. This position will provide engineering expertise supporting capital investment. The position will work closely with plant-level Maintenance, Production/Operations, EH&S, and management personnel in identifying and solving technical process issues. This position will also provide design, commissioning and startup of small-to-large scale capital expenditure projects. Technical assistance will require basic understanding of plant power distribution systems and process/machinery control systems. A practical level of understanding of mechanical and electrical engineering principles are to be applied to assigned project work. Essential Duties * Design and implement automated systems for use in manufacturing environments * Lead collaborative discussions between leadership to determine automation capabilities and goals * Lead project management to guide automation projects from conception to final implementation * Support existing automation technology with component and process upgrades * Troubleshoot and resolve issues with existing process equipment and control systems. * Provide training and technical assistance to plant-level Maintenance, Production/Operations, EH&S, and management personnel. * Project management that includes scope development, funding requests, and execution. * Design using the latest hardware and software components, design machine control systems to maximize equipment productivity and assure all code requirements and safety standards are strictly met. * Assist plant with the development of goals, objectives, and schedules for potential projects/upgrades. * Coordinate day-to-day activities of contractors and plant maintenance personnel during project execution. * Travel to Carlisle Construction Materials facilities outside of home base office, in support of project planning, equipment installation, startup, and training. Core Competencies Essential Full Performance Knowledge: * Proficient in Rockwell Automation software and Allen-Bradley hardware. * Proficient in general industrial controls, manufacturing processes * Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) * Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) * Industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, ControlNet, DeviceNet, Profibus) * Basic understanding of open/closed control loops (PIDs) * Understanding of electrical wiring principles based on the National Electric Code (NEC) * Software/Data communication protocols (OPC-UA/OPC-DA) * Basic understanding of AutoCAD * Ability to stay abreast of new development in controls/technology Work Environment: * 30% factory - process equipment, support, troubleshooting, programming/testing. * 70% office - project development, monthly reports, projects updates, team meetings/calls Time Worked: * Hours Worked: Normally 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | 40 hours/week; Situations will require additional hours worked per day and /or alternate shifts worked (equipment breakdowns, process issues/troubleshooting, equipment commissioning/startups, etc.). * Days of Week Worked: Monday through Friday; Saturday/Sunday work to support production needs occurs occasionally. * Comments: Work is in a fast-paced production environment, sometimes stressful and always demanding. Minimum Requirements Education: * BA/BS degree in engineering or related discipline (BS in Automation Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering preferred) * Equivalency - Five years of direct practical experience in the industrial controls/automation industry. Experience: * Minimum of five years industrial/manufacturing experience in a controls engineering capacity.
