Job Description

Control Systems Project Engineer
Mobile Equipment Controls | Electro-Hydraulics | OEM Engineering

Want to take ownership of engineering projects from concept through implementation rather than focus on a single product or narrow engineering specialty?

Our client, an established, privately held engineering and manufacturing company in the Greater Milwaukee area, is seeking a Control Systems Project Engineer to develop customized electronic control systems for mobile and off-highway equipment OEMs.

You’ll work on diverse applications across construction, forestry, mining, and other specialized equipment markets, integrating electronic controls, software, hydraulics, and mechanical systems.

This is a hands-on opportunity for an engineer who enjoys technical variety, solving complex problems, and seeing projects through from initial requirements to successful implementation.

Sign-on, retention, and profit-sharing bonuses.
Project ownership: Work from system design and development through testing and implementation.
Develop customized control solutions for a range of mobile equipment OEM applications.

Work Environment
This is a 100% onsite position in the Greater Milwaukee area, with scheduling flexibility and occasional travel.
You’ll collaborate closely with engineering and manufacturing teams in a hands-on environment where engineers remain involved throughout the project lifecycle.

Unlike controls engineering positions focused primarily on programming or maintaining existing equipment, this role offers the opportunity to develop complete electronic control solutions for diverse OEM mobile equipment applications.
You’ll combine electronic controls, hydraulics, and mechanical systems to solve real-world engineering challenges while taking ownership of projects from concept through implementation.
