For Smart, Savvy Engineers, People That Like to Network, Job-Seekers, etc.:
The High-Tech job market is quite active, and I am currently working on a 
variety of positions in hardware, software, and now embedded systems robotic 
automation for manufacturing. Computer programming skills in Ruby, C, C++, 
Python, MS.NET are sought, as well as my old 'mainstays' of materials 
science, semiconductors, green technology, energy, chemical engineering, 
electro-chemistry, optics, polymer science, plastic injection molding, and so 
on. 


#1) Sr. Engineer, Systems Control, Advanced Manufacturing (Harrisburg, PA) 

The Client (my client), is a $10+ billion world leader in connectivity. The 
company designs and manufactures products at the heart of electronic 
connections for the world’s leading industries including automotive, energy 
and industrial, broadband communications, consumer devices, healthcare, and 
aerospace and defense. 

We offer an opportunity for an Automation/Control engineer with strong 
technical and team working capabilities in establishing global robotic 
automation platforms for this leading electrical component manufacturing 
company. The individual shall be an expert who provides insight into 
electrical design/wiring and control system programming in automated assembly 
production lines, and also be able to provide in-depth technical advisement 
over control system design during the entire assembly production line 
development cycle.

This individual shall be expert at developing next-generation automation 
technologies for robot programming, machine vision algorithm design, machine 
vision programming and writing communication stacks that can communicate to 
different automation control devices (e.g., PLC, industrial OPC server and 
cloud connected devices). Ability to improve software performance to enable 
low cost flexible modular robotic automation with integration of advanced 
manufacturing process to help design engineering systems is also part of the 
desired technical capabilities. 

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-performing organization in a global 
role, reporting to the Automation Manger, who reports directly to the

automation technical expertise on current leading edge and next generation 
technologies. This position will also have the responsibility for 
establishing robotic automation modular flexible platforms at various Company 
manufacturing sites worldwide. 

As a Senior Control Engineer, you will report to the automation manager, who 
reports and interfaces directly with manufacturing engineering team inside 
different business units to provide robotic & machine vision programming, 
electrical/control system design technical expertise on current cutting edge 
and next generation technologies. You will be working on research and 
development of next generation of automation technology with universities and 
research institutes.

During the technology transfer phase, you will be working closely with 
process engineers, manufacturing engineers and external system integrators. 
Most importantly, you will be the technical safeguard for program design 
during different phases of an automation project, including requirement 
definitions, conduct concept review and detailed design review, installation, 
training and final ramp-up troubleshooting, all the way to transition the 
automation project to business unit.

Your responsibilities will be to:
• Innovate and develop the next generation of robotic automation software 
platforms and standard modules for flexible manufacturing processes. 
• Identify levels of technologies should be sourced internally or externally. 
• Design control policies for nonlinear and high dynamics systems. 
• Develop algorithms using force control strategies. 
• Implement control policies on embedded systems. 
• Develop motor control strategies. 
• Research, source and implement motor systems and controls. 
• Implement sensor data acquisition on embedded systems. 
• Develop state estimation solutions for nonlinear systems. 
• Develop adaptive control techniques for nonlinear systems. 
• Manage sourcing of components and technologies from suppliers. 
• Develop parameter-tuning solutions for production. 
• Lead controls testing for production. 
• As a robotic / machine vision resource to address and to develop and/or 
execute robotic automation projects and strategies, and collaborate with 
other robotic/machine vision inside Company to provide consulting services. 
• Work with intellectual property (IP) councils and legal teams to innovate 
and to strengthen Company IP strategies and portfolios in advanced 
manufacturing automation technology. 
• Provide necessary engineering support in automation control, develop and 
implement control algorithms for servo control in tandem with vision 
guidance. 
• Enable smooth and open communication with external non-standard automation 
equipment vendor regarding the requirement of electrical design and control 
system. 
• Work with internal or external automation team members to over-come major 
technical challenges in electrical design and control area in a timely 
manner. 

Professional Qualifications: 
• A strong technically oriented engineer with clearly demonstrated experience 
and a track record of developing robotic program and machine vision system & 
programs 
• Mastery of optimal and adaptive control theory 
• Minimum 4 year experience with nonlinear model-based control 
• Minimum 4 years hands-on experience robot development, controls and 
operation 
• Proficient at Matlab®, Simulink® and LabView® 
• Hands-on experience in brush and brushless motor control 
• Experience in model-based state estimation and filtering 
• Strong oral and written communication and presentation skills 
• Strong problem solving and analytical skills 
• Experience in embedded operating systems and robot operating systems 
• Develop and maintain system models for simulation and testing of 
algorithms. 
• Develop test cases and methodologies to evaluate new control, optimization 
and diagnostic algorithms with simulations and conduct testing in the field. 
• Familiar with different robot & machine vision programming platform, 
including EPSON SPEL+®, ABB Rapid®; Familiar with ROC and MVTec® Halcon® is 
preferred 
• Familiar with motion planning, image processing and machine vision 
algorithm design 
•Experience with different programming language is preferred, including MS. 
NET, C++, C; familiar with Python is preferred; 

Minimum Degree and Experience: 
MS + 6 years’ experience or PhD and 2+ years’ experience (preferred) in 
control / robotics or equivalent.
