Not necessarily. Control engineers would need a programming background. But a high level control engineer, would be more responsible of doing more of the design part and leave the hard core programming task to other people.belfour wrote:Usually an Electrical Engineer with PLC knowledge..
Controls mostly do automation work.. programming..

Pretty much manufacturing jobs will need control engineers to automate the manufacturing process.

define "high paying"? in general, most engineering jobs are not all that high paying if the person stays in the "technical" side of things. Having said that, senior positions are capable of making 6 figure. Unfortunately, that figure usually always starts with a 1, no higherjvaf wrote:is this a high paying job?
what certification must one obtain for this field of work?

depends on industry and experaince. A fresh grad would be 40-50k a P.Eng woudl be 65-80, then it depends ussaly a strong technical person who doesnt go into managment will would not get much over 100k (unless they are really good and in demand as a consultant with TONS of experance), moving up into managment mid 100's isn't unheard of.jvaf wrote:highpaying like 80K yearly?
