Role Description
At EllisLudell, our Buyers don’t just place orders — they help keep production moving.
We design and manufacture engineered-to-order industrial laundry and water treatment systems used across North America. Every machine we build is different. Every project has a schedule. And every late part has the potential to delay customer shipments.
We’re looking for a mid-level Buyer who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys solving real problems — working directly with Engineering, Production, Customer Service, and suppliers to make sure materials arrive when they’re needed.
If you’ve ever found yourself chasing down a critical component so a build doesn’t stall… this might be the role for you.

- Issue purchase orders for mechanical, electrical, and fabricated components based on engineering BOMs and production schedules
- Monitor open orders and proactively follow up with suppliers to ensure on-time delivery
- Expedite late or critical materials to prevent production delays
- Communicate delivery risks or supply disruptions to internal stakeholders
- Collaborate with Engineering regarding design changes and part revisions
- Work with Production and Customer Service to align material availability with build schedules
- Participate in production meetings as needed
- Engage directly with shop floor personnel to identify and resolve material shortages
- Maintain purchasing data in ERP system
- Support vendor communication regarding order status, lead times, and pricing updates
- Identify opportunities to improve planning and reduce reactive expediting
- Participate in occasional supplier visits, particularly during onboarding or when addressing delivery/quality concerns
Qualifications
- 3+ years of purchasing experience in a manufacturing environment
- Experience working within an ERP system
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Excel
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline-driven environment
- Effective communication skills across departments and with suppliers
Preferred (But Not Required)
- Experience in engineered-to-order or custom equipment manufacturing
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings or BOMs
- Experience purchasing mechanical or electrical components
- Exposure to supplier performance management or vendor negotiation
- APICS certification or similar supply chain training
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary Range: $70,000 – $90,000 annually (based on experience)
- Health insurance
- 401(k)
- Paid time off
- Company holidays
Controls Engineer – Automation & Robotics (6 Openings)
Location: Elgin, IL (On-site)
Job Type: Direct Hire | Full-Time
Compensation: $95,000 – $150,000 (up to $160,000 for exceptional experience)
Benefits: Comprehensive benefits starting Day 1 (medical, dental, vision, 401k, stock programs, PTO, holidays)
About the Role
We are expanding our Automation Development team and are seeking Controls Engineers to support the design and build of highly advanced, custom automation and robotic equipment for autonomous vehicle production. This is a hands-on role focused on conceptual, in-house engineered systems—not repetitive builds or catalog automation.
Engineers in this group own projects end-to-end, from early concept and proof-of-principle through programming, debug, factory acceptance testing, and on-site integration. The current flagship project supports a next-generation autonomous vehicle platform, with the first production units already shipped.
This role is ideal for Controls Engineers coming from systems integrators or custom machine builders who enjoy variety, ownership, and technically challenging work.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, program, and debug PLC, HMI/SCADA, robotics, servo, and machine vision systems
- Develop control architectures for custom automation and robotic equipment
- Review electrical schematics and contribute to hardware and network architecture
- Perform system bring-up, debugging, validation, and factory acceptance testing
- Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers, assembly teams, and manufacturing
- Support equipment installation and integration at U.S. manufacturing facilities
Travel
- Typical travel averages 10–25% (historically fluctuates by project)
- Travel is limited to 4 U.S. manufacturing locations (California, Texas, Nevada)
Qualifications
- Experience in custom automation, robotics, or systems integration
- PLC programming experience ( Siemens preferred, Rockwell/Allen-Bradley also acceptable )
- Engineers proficient in Rockwell who are open to transitioning to Siemens are strongly encouraged to apply
- Experience with HMI/SCADA platforms (WinCC, Ignition, FactoryTalk, or similar)
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics, Automation, or related field (or equivalent experience)
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Work on fully conceptual, in-house designs with protected intellectual property
- Exposure to cutting-edge autonomous vehicle and robotics technology
- Projects that most automation houses and integrators never get access to
- Strong compensation, Day-1 benefits, and long-term growth potential
- Collaborative engineering culture with high technical standards and visibility
