Control Engineer

Job Description

A locally based industrial automation and controls engineering firm is seeking an experienced Controls Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Siemens Step 7. This role supports complex, high-reliability industrial systems and works closely with a small, highly technical engineering team. This is not an entry-level or generalist position. The team values depth, clean implementations, and engineers who have lived through real systems in production.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, program, troubleshoot, and support Siemens Step 7 based control systems
• Work on upgrades, migrations, and lifecycle support for existing Siemens environments
• Diagnose and correct poorly implemented legacy automation systems
• Support commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting activities as needed
• Collaborate directly with other engineers and technical leads, not layers of management
• Produce clear, maintainable logic and documentation that holds up long term

What We Are Looking For

• Strong, hands-on experience with Siemens Step 7: is required
• Solid background in industrial automation: PLCs, and control systems
• Experience supporting or modifying existing production systems: not just greenfield builds
• Comfort working independently: and owning technical decisions
• Ability to communicate clearly: with engineers and technical stakeholders
• Local to the Boise area: or willing to work onsite as needed

Nice to Have

• Experience with Siemens PCS 7 or TIA Portal
• Background in industries: such as manufacturing, process, energy, chemical, or food and beverage
• Experience with system migrations: or legacy platform modernization
• Commissioning or startup experience: in live environments
