Controls Engineer
About the role
Location: Warren, Michigan, United States. Industry: Automotive Manufacturing. Role Type: Controls / Automation / MES Engineering. We are seeking an experienced Controls Engineer to support a ground-up manufacturing automation implementation for a major automotive manufacturer in Warren, Michigan. This is primarily a new-build development and implementation role, not a sustaining or maintenance position. The engineer will be responsible for designing, programming, integrating, and commissioning controls and manufacturing systems, with a strong focus on Rockwell Studio 5000, Ignition, and PLC-to-MES integration. The ideal candidate has personally taken automation systems from initial design through commissioning and production launch and can demonstrate hands-on experience developing PLC, HMI/SCADA, and MES functionality rather than only modifying or troubleshooting existing systems. The strongest candidate will have experience building controls systems from the ground up, including PLC programming, Ignition development, and PLC-to-MES integration. This position is best suited for an engineer who has built and commissioned new manufacturing systems rather than someone whose background is primarily production support or maintenance.
