Controls Engineers in the United States.
PLC programming, HMI/SCADA, instrumentation, motor control, and safety-instrumented systems — vetted engineers and integrators nationwide.
America's directory for controls and automation engineers.
Controls engineering is the discipline that makes industrial equipment actually run — PLC logic, HMI screens, instrumentation, motor control, network architecture, and the safety-instrumented systems that protect people and assets.
EngineerMint lists licensed Electrical and Control Systems P.E.s plus certified system integrators with Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider, Emerson, and Honeywell platform expertise active across every state board.
Post a controls engineering scope to the marketplace, or run the AI Estimator for a ROM cost on PLC, SCADA, or SIS work.

Frequently asked questions
What does a controls engineer do?+
Controls engineers design and program the systems that automate equipment and plants — PLCs, HMI/SCADA, instrumentation, motor control, safety interlocks, and control narratives for industrial and process facilities.
Do controls engineers need a P.E. license?+
Many controls engineers practice without a seal, but safety-instrumented systems (SIS), pressure systems, and AHJ-reviewed designs typically require an Electrical or Control Systems P.E.
What platforms do US controls engineers work in?+
Rockwell/Allen-Bradley (Studio 5000), Siemens TIA Portal, Schneider EcoStruxure, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, plus Wonderware/AVEVA, Ignition, and FactoryTalk for HMI/SCADA.
What's the difference between controls and automation engineers?+
The titles overlap heavily — controls usually emphasizes PLC/instrumentation/SIS while automation extends into robotics, MES, and IT/OT integration. Most postings cover both.
Can I post a controls engineering scope?+
Yes. PLC programming, SCADA integration, instrumentation, SIS — post a brief and qualified controls engineers will respond.
