Design Engineer
Confidential Opportunity Design Engineer role near New Haven, Connecticut, with a confidential employer that designs combustion control and burner management systems. This opportunity combines PLC programming, SCADA configuration, and hands-on system design for steam plants serving critical infrastructure. If you have at least five years of controls experience and want to take technical ownership of entire projects, this position offers the making of a long-term career move. Step into a role where your control system designs directly keep hospitals, universities, and manufacturers running. This Design Engineer opening near New Haven, Connecticut, with a confidential employer offers you the chance to architect the brains behind industrial steam plants. With a salary reaching $150,000 and a benefits package that includes medical, disability, and a pension, you'll join a 54-year-old company that values its engineers and treats them like family. You'll translate customer requirements into complete combustion control and burner management solutions. Every day you'll use AutoCAD for wiring diagrams, program Allen Bradley PLCs and touchscreens, configure SCADA systems, and select the right field instruments. From factory testing to on-site startups, you'll see each project all the way through—troubleshooting, calibrating, and ensuring safety limits are met. Your work will have a direct impact on critical infrastructure, making public safety and operational reliability tangible outcomes of your efforts. The ideal candidate brings solid PLC and AutoCAD experience, ideally from an industrial controls or power plant setting. You're a hands-on programmer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and isn't afraid to travel to a job site when needed. Knowledge of boilers and combustion is a definite plus, but if you're the right person, the company will teach you the steam-side details. What matters most is your ability to execute complete projects and your desire to grow with a company that plans to keep you for the long haul. This isn't just another engineering job—it's a career home. You'll be joining a profitable, stable company that has thrived for over five decades because it invests in its people. With a senior controls leader nearing retirement, there's a clear, realistic path for you to step into greater responsibility down the road.
