Role Title: Controls Engineer

Location: Hybrid – Based in Chile

Department: Engineering / Deployment

Reports To: Head of Engineering or Deployment Lead

Type: Full-time

Role Summary

The Controls Engineer is responsible for designing, integrating, and troubleshooting control systems for industrial automation and smart manufacturing environments. Based in Mexico and working in a hybrid model, this role supports both remote engineering work and periodic site visits to customer facilities. You will work cross-functionally with Deployment, Product, and Field Ops teams to ensure robust and scalable system integrations aligned with Fireball’s industrial technology stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Control System Design: Develop and configure PLC, HMI, Robots and SCADA systems for factory automation, material handling, and sensor integration.

• Field Deployment Support: Assist with equipment commissioning, system bring-up, and remote diagnostics during installations and retrofits.

• Integration & Connectivity: Design and implement data pipelines between edge hardware, PLCs, sensors, and Fireball’s cloud platform using protocols like Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, and Ethernet/IP.

• Troubleshooting: Perform system-level debugging, identify root causes of automation failures, and implement corrective actions.

• Collaboration: Work with software and deployment teams to support remote configuration, device monitoring, and edge-device logic tuning.

Requirements

• 3–7 years of experience in controls engineering, industrial automation, or electrical systems integration.

• At least 3 years of experience in robotic systems.

• Proficiency with at least one major PLC platform (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron, Beckhoff).

• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, CAN, etc.).

• Experience reading and creating electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams.

• Willingness to travel regionally across Mexico (~10–25%) for site visits and commissioning.

• Fluent in Spanish and working proficiency in English.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with IoT platforms, edge computing, or cloud-integrated automation.

• Knowledge of electrical standards (e.g., IEC, NFPA, NOM), safety relays, and VFDs.

• Familiarity with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, Node-RED, TwinCAT).

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related field.

• Experience supporting brownfield (retrofit) environments in manufacturing or logistics.

Key Traits

• Detail-oriented and hands-on problem solver.

• Comfortable working in hybrid environments (field + remote).

• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate between technical and operational teams.

• Adaptable to fast-paced project cycles with cross-functional collaboration.**
