About this role
HelloFresh's Phoenix facility is seeking a Controls Systems Technician to serve as the automation and PLC expert within their maintenance operation. You'd be responsible for troubleshooting and repairing conveyance, robotics, and control systems that keep their meal-kit production running, while also mentoring junior technicians and partnering with engineering on new system implementations. The role requires deep expertise in PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, and industrial communication protocols—this isn't entry-level work.
The position demands 4 to 6 years of hands-on experience with automation and PLC troubleshooting, plus the ability to read schematics, lead root cause analyses, and document work in maintenance management systems. You'd work either Wednesday–Saturday nights or Sunday–Wednesday days, with occasional travel. An associate degree in electronic technology is preferred but not required if you have equivalent experience.
This role suits someone who's built serious technical depth in industrial controls and wants to move into a leadership-adjacent position—mentoring others, auditing vendor work, and developing network-wide maintenance standards. HelloFresh offers immediate 401k vesting, substantial PTO, zero-premium health plans, and significant employee discounts on their product.
