Control Systems Engineer Jobs in Indiana: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a control systems engineer in Indiana?

A bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or systems engineering is the standard entry point for control systems engineer roles in Indiana. Employers in automotive and pharmaceutical manufacturing often require demonstrated PLC and SCADA experience alongside the degree. Senior and lead roles frequently prefer candidates who hold or are pursuing a Professional Engineer license through the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency, which administers the FE and PE exams in the state.

How much do control systems engineers make in Indiana?

Control systems engineers in Indiana earn a median of about $120,880 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,710 for the lowest 10% to over $163,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire control systems engineers in Indiana?

Indiana control systems engineer roles are posted by Thermo Systems, Knapp, and Graymatter and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Indiana's dense concentration of automotive assembly plants, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and industrial equipment producers means hiring is distributed statewide rather than limited to a single metro.

Which Indiana cities have the most control systems engineer jobs?

Indianapolis, Indiana, and Carmel have the most control systems engineer openings in Indiana. Indianapolis drives volume through its concentration of pharmaceutical, food processing, and defense manufacturing facilities, while Fort Wayne and Columbus attract openings tied to major automotive and engine manufacturing operations, including large anchor employers with continuous engineering staffing needs.

Are there remote control systems engineer jobs in Indiana?

Yes, but they're rare. About 100% of control systems engineer openings tied to Indiana are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the fundamentally hands-on nature of the role. The portions of the work most likely to shift remote are design, documentation, off-line programming, and systems architecture tasks that don't require physical access to production equipment.

How can I get hired as a control systems engineer in Indiana with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is an automation technician or junior controls engineer role, which large Indiana manufacturers use to develop early-career talent on the plant floor. Cummins and Subaru of Indiana Automotive run co-op and new-graduate programs that feed directly into controls engineering pipelines. Candidates transitioning from electrical technician or instrumentation roles find the background directly applicable. Earning a Certified Automation Professional designation or completing an Allen-Bradley programming credential through a Purdue University or Ivy Tech community college program gives applicants a concrete edge in Indiana's manufacturing-heavy market.

Where can I find and apply to control systems engineer jobs in Indiana?
