Controls Design Engineer

About the role

The Controls Design Engineer I supports the review, validation, and documentation of control system designs to ensure compliance with KNAPP standards and readiness for commissioning. This role works with Controls Commissioning and cross-functional teams to identify design risks, maintain documentation, and provide technical support during in-house testing.

Responsibilities

• Perform pre-defined system design reviews to verify compliance with KNAPP Control Standards.
• Verify the completeness, accuracy, and proper placement of control system actuators and sensors within engineering layouts.
• Review and confirm station definitions against standard configurations and approved deviations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering and processing teams to ensure design completeness, accuracy, and timely resolution of open items while proactively resolving identified design gaps and inconsistencies.
• Provide controls-related design clarification to processing and engineering teams as needed to support commissioning readiness.
• Create and maintain Control Design Documentation for each project that defines expected control system behavior and identifies approved non-standard developments.
• Support Controls Commissioning teams beginning with controls preparation kick-off through successful completion of in-house testing.
• Support knowledge transfer and basic user guidance related to EDM Generator usage in collaboration with senior controls and commissioning resources.
• Analyze feedback from Controls Commissioning Engineers to identify recurring design issues and improvement opportunities.
• Document and maintain controls-related processes, templates, and standards used within Controls Commissioning support activities.
• Deliver regular status updates, findings, and improvement recommendations to Supporting Services and Controls Commissioning leadership.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering or related field preferred, or equivalent work experience.
• Minimum of 3 years supporting KNAPP control system controls design, or automation engineering activities, preferably within KNAPP or similar automated logistics environments.
• Demonstrated ability to perform at an intermediate level in control systems design, validation, and commissioning preparation activities, including interpretation of system functionality, components, and interfaces.
• Exposure to multiple KNAPP products and project types preferred.
• Intermediate ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, software, and commissioning teams, contributing to resolution of design gaps and supporting project readiness.
• Demonstrated intermediate-level communication skills (verbal, written, and digital), with the ability to clearly convey technical information to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Intermediate ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, software, and commissioning teams.
• Team-oriented and solution-based mindset.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage changing priorities and maintain accuracy across multiple project deliverables.
• Strong attention to detail with demonstrated commitment to safety standards and quality expectations.
• Exposure to project coordination or structured engineering workflows preferred.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.

Qualifications

• Authorization to work in the U.S.
• Passport or ability to obtain passport.
