Controls Engineer

We grow the world’s BEST Strawberries & that wouldn’t be possible without our super talented engineering team!

As part of our Engineering team, a Controls Engineer will be involved with the design, commissioning, ramp-up, and operations of our indoor vertical smart farms and will support Facilities and Maintenance teams in preparing preventative maintenance and standard operating procedures documentation. Our Controls Team work on everything from our PLCs, SCADA system development, process implementation, to optimization across multiple infrastructure systems.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Maintain existing controls systems; this includes checking programming settings and repairing/troubleshooting sensors.
• Perform updates to existing controls systems to meet the needs of our farm team; this includes, but is not limited to adding new components, changing HMI screens, and editing PLC programs.
• Continually improving the system by finding ways to increase resiliency in the system with hardware and software.
• Design and improve libraries for new and existing installations using AOIs.
• Create and update SCADA screens, alarms, and Historian.
• Develop models for prescriptive maintenance and anomaly detection using machine learning techniques on historical data.
• Work closely with cross functional partners throughout facilities to ensure a cohesive operation amongst different functions such as farming and facilities.
• Commission new facilities from IO checkout to start-up.
