This Controls/Sales Engineer will be the liaison between the sales people and customers, and the technology side of the business (control systems for thermal components).

Strong interest in problem solving, learning new things and taking care of the customer
Ability to work independently but also collaboratively to create solutions for customers
Interest in working for a privately held company with a smaller team (big fish in a small pond).
Ability to work on more than one project at a time (this isn’t a one project for six months deal, it’s working on a multitude of projects in various stages as they move through the sales cycle).
Understanding that this position is intrinsic to the growth of the company and your ability to contribute.
Qualifications:

Minimum of Associates in Electrical Engineering or Electronics Technology
3 – 5 years experience in design and troubleshooting of electrical and electronic controls including PLC, HMI programming
Strong working knowledge of industrial communications, ie Ethernet IP, RS 485
Functional AutoCAD experience
$75 – $85k salary base plus excellent benefit package (don’t let the salary dissuade you, let’s still talk if you’re interested, will pay for the right experience). Will be a member of a team with growth potential as you learn the company, the customer base and contribute. Current reporting structure will be to the Engineering Manager and partnering with a sales person. You’ll be working closely with the Inside Sales team, outside Sales person, Engineering Manager, customers and vendors. Must be a problem solver and have the ability to come up with creative solutions to solve the customers problems.
