Develop controls modernization concepts and define hardware, software, interfaces, engineering, commissioning, and implementation requirements. Coordinate with mechanical, software, execution, and external partners to deliver controls solutions for standalone or integrated projects. Own the controls solution definition, equipment requirements, bill of materials, cost estimate, schedule, assumptions, and exclusions.

Working knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, drives, safety controls, industrial communications, network architecture, and system interfaces, with experience using Rockwell, Siemens, or a comparable industrial controls platform. Ability to interpret electrical schematics, PLC programs, and complex or less clearly defined controls issues and translate technical information into clear solution requirements. Strong skills in customer discovery, verbal and written communication, and presentation, with the ability to define customer requirements, influence solution decisions, and clearly communicate technical alternatives, tradeoffs, and value. Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and related business tools used to develop technical documentation, cost estimates, and customer proposals.

Knowledge of vendor capabilities, contractor performance, labor markets, and pricing trends. Direct experience with ASRS controls is strongly preferred, including SRMs, onboard and offboard control systems, brownfield modernization, controls migration, obsolescence planning, lifecycle upgrades, and phased implementation in operating facilities.

Demonstrated commitment to staying current with evolving controls technologies, ASRS applications, and material-handling industry practices. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 13, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 19, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 19, 2026 - Listed for: 6 days - Location: Grand Rapids, MI, United States +4 more - Employment type: Full-time - Pay: $120,000 - $145,000[Apply on KION Group’s careers site →](https://kiongroup.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/KIONGroup/job/Grand-Rapids-MI-United-States/Senior-Solution-Design-Controls-Engineer---ASRS_JR-0097603-1) ## More jobs at KION Group ### [Auxiliar Assistência Técnica I](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kion-group/jobs/62b4272cf32907d8545e/) São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil ### [Control Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kion-group/jobs/0ac362b407b11c9eadc9/) Banbury, United Kingdom ### [Electrical Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kion-group/jobs/d97244fab0e39ad7b267/) Kaunas, Lithuania +1 more ### [Gruppenleitung SAP ABAP Entwicklung (UX) (m/w/d)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kion-group/jobs/4914bf6985b87a699d77/) Nürnberg, Germany +2 more ### [Mechanical Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/kion-group/jobs/5db914f8669113b40b5f/) Bussy Saint Georges, France ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Controls Systems Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/43639e91cbcca4d1993b/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond, Multiple Locations ### [Controls Design Engineer, Controls Design Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/150c36d3430dc2924395/) Amazon · US, VA, Herndon ### [HVAC Building Controls Systems Controls Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/johnson-controls-international/jobs/60c5346b2e0e0cf05349/) Johnson Controls International · Indianapolis-Indiana-United States of America ### [Instrumentation & Controls Design Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/teledyne-technologies/jobs/089146243f288334389e/) Teledyne Technologies · Huntsville, US, AL ### [Controls Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/aramark/jobs/d73c6798e34ebab6a93f/) Aramark · Milford, MI, US OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
