What does a control engineer do?

Answer 1

Controls engineers take the various components of the project and make them actually work. A controls engineer may set up a complete system within a production facility from reading the blueprints through to actually starting up the system, testing, making corrections and troubleshooting issues. These systems can include water systems within plants, electrical controls, power controls or any other type of system within the plant or manufacturing facility. Control engineers must be able to work with a variety of different systems as well as have good mechanical and electrical abilities. A natural ability to understand how things work and how to fix things that don't is a great asset.
