Top Controls Engineer Jobs in San Francisco Bay Area, CA

Lead a team in the engineering design and execution of SCADA, network, and controls systems for solar projects, ensuring quality and project milestones are met while mentoring junior engineers.

The Controls Engineer is responsible for commissioning controls for conveyor and sortation systems, writing and implementing machine code, and ensuring all project aspects are completed and documented.

Design, integrate, test, and support medium- and low-voltage electrical systems and controls. Create and review electrical drawings, specifications, calculations, and vendor submittals. Support equipment selection, FAT/SAT, commissioning, troubleshooting, and field testing. Coordinate across disciplines and maintain technical documentation while following codes and safety procedures.

Supports PLC, SCADA, and HMI programming, commissioning, integration, troubleshooting, maintenance, and documentation for battery energy storage manufacturing automation. Works with senior Controls, Equipment, Process, and Maintenance Engineers to improve production controls, collect manufacturing data, maintain safety interlocks, and support regulatory compliance. This entry-level role provides hands-on experience with industrial automation systems and develops independent engineering capability.

Design and implement onboard control algorithms and system models for heavy construction robots, develop MPC and RL-based controllers, perform system identification and simulation of multi-DOF arms and vehicle dynamics, and ensure safety-critical real-time embedded performance.

The Sr. Controls Engineer designs, programs, and tests automated sortation systems, leads projects, troubleshoots controls issues, and mentors junior engineers.

The Controls Engineer will commission controls for conveyor and sortation systems, implement PLC and HMI programs, review designs, and provide engineering support during project phases.

The Controls Engineer will commission controls for conveyor and sortation systems, implement PLC and HMI programs, and collaborate on project execution.

Design, develop, verify, and deliver flight control laws (CLaws) and related assessment tools for FBW aircraft using MATLAB/Simulink and C++. Support autopilot/navigation design, V&V to DO-178B and ARP4754, pilot‑in‑the‑loop evaluation, failure analysis, and integration with test rigs and supplier hardware.

Design and implement control systems for UAVs, integrating machine learning for navigation and performance. Collaborate with teams and optimize embedded code.

Develop and troubleshoot applications for manufacturing processes, optimizing data collection and system efficiency through software engineering and automation.

Develop and integrate firmware, software, and electrical systems for a metal 3D printer. Lead implementation and verification of firmware/PLC-controlled features, motion control, sensor and actuator integration, rapid prototyping, and production code contributions (C/C++, Python). Manage PCB design and serial/analog interfaces, support agency certification, and collaborate across mechanical, electrical, materials, and software teams to deliver product to market.

The Staff Software Engineer will design and optimize control systems for general-purpose robots, focusing on motion planning, state estimation, and robust software frameworks for real-world applications.

Build and own backend enterprise platform capabilities across authentication, key management, secure networking, observability, and developer-facing APIs. Lead cross-functional initiatives from discovery through launch, operate distributed systems spanning databases, streaming infrastructure, and request routing, and partner with product, security, and customers to shape roadmap and reliable developer experiences.

Design, implement, and tune low-level controllers and trajectory optimization for autonomous drones. Define data/interfaces across the software system, collaborate on planning/UI boundaries, and ensure robust, well-architected control software.

As a Sr. Controls Engineer, you'll own the architecture and tuning of precision control loops, manage sensor inputs, apply state estimation, and validate controls through hands-on robotics work in a defense tech environment.
