About Vector Systems

Vector Systems is a family-owned technology and energy engineering business based in Dallas. Founded in 2019, we run 3 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll design, program, and commission the control systems that run industrial equipment. Day to day you'll write and debug PLC logic, configure HMIs and VFDs, design panel layouts and I/O schedules, and commission systems on the plant floor alongside electricians and millwrights. You'll troubleshoot live production issues, tune loops, document your changes, and improve safety interlocks and alarm rationalization as systems evolve.

What you will bring

You bring solid PLC programming experience on platforms like Allen-Bradley or Siemens and the patience to troubleshoot methodically under production pressure. You read electrical drawings fluently, respect lockout procedures without shortcuts, and explain control behaviour clearly to operators and maintenance teams.

Interested? Apply through this listing. First-round interviews typically within 10 business days.

Required Qualifications

  • Degree or diploma in electrical, mechatronics, or automation engineering
  • Experience programming PLCs and configuring HMIs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, or similar)
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and commission systems on site
  • Eligibility to work in Canada

Benefits

  • Stock options or equity-equivalent for senior staff
  • Patent incentive program for inventors
  • Full health, dental, vision, and mental-health coverage
  • 401(k) match with strong vesting schedule
