Controls System Engineer

Description -

The Controls Engineering group is responsible for providing solutions that enable automation and systems capability across HP’s portfolio of manufacturing across the Corvallis, OR site. While onsite scale of application is typically R&D oriented, the solution space extends to our worldwide manufacturing partners as they leverage design concepts for production volumes. Engineers on this team have a strong background in all aspects of industrial automation as applied in numerous industries. “Systems Engineer”, as we refer to it, describes our focus on not only the electrical and software design components of our technical contribution, but also on adjacent competencies including project management, specification and acquisition, mechanical systems, process control, manufacturing operations, IT infrastructure, and integration.

As a member of CSE, you will work in a supportive team environment with an opportunity to develop and apply a diverse range of skills. You will partner with other engineering disciplines to not only specify and acquire factory capability from third parties, but also to design and develop in-house solutions. You will investigate, plan, develop, integrate, test, deploy, and document per milestone commitments. You will design and support systems based on a wide variety of software technologies including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interfaces, motion control, robotics, vision systems, windows applications (VB, C++, C#). Your customers will include operations and technician staff, who request your attention and support as they endeavor to meet factory throughput commitments. The implementation of success requires equal parts technical proficiency, self-motivation, and strong analytical skills with an eye for detail. You will team with our worldwide manufacturing partners to leverage proto environment solutions to a qualified and production ready implementation, where an appropriately deployed solution depends on communication, negotiation, and alignment with objectives.
