On this Careers Podcast we look deeper into the role of Controls Engineer at Kasa Controls, hearing from Justin Ryan, Engineering Training Manager, on what makes the position an essential piece of the Kasa puzzle.

The position, based out of Salina, Kansas, is tasked with providing detailed industrial control system drawings, including electrical schematics, power circuit sizings and loadings, thermal calculations, and more. Additionally, the engineer would have to travel to the installation site to make sure that the automation hardware is correctly installed and ready for the client to use, so the job does provide a wonderful travel opportunity both within the United States and abroad.

With Kasa Controls, the intrigue comes from not only the projects but the people. With top clients like General Motors and Chrysler, servicing industries from automotive to agricultural, Ryan says the thrill of seeing automation work through to the end is what makes every day on the job a fresh experience. But even beyond that, what keeps people at Kasa Controls is the culture. Like the company so neatly puts it: When you work at Kasa, you know each other, you know each others’ families, you know each others’ kids. It’s a community.

For more information about working for Kasa and how they make the employee experience second to none, what the coolest part of the job is, the potential impact on the company, and why being a controls engineer is kind of like being MacGyver, give this podcast a listen. To apply, click here.

Aligned plans Ohio AI campus next to retired Conesville power plant, with first capacity targeted mid-2026

Aligned Data Centers plans a 197-acre, multi-building AI data center campus in Ohio’s Conesville Industrial Park, adjacent to the former AEP Conesville Power Plant. GlobeNewswire says initial capacity is targeted for mid-2026 and that the first data center has a foundational customer.

  • 01GlobeNewswire says Aligned is targeting initial capacity delivery in mid-2026 for the Conesville campus.
  • 02The Conesville siting, next to the retired AEP Conesville Power Plant, is a concrete example of an AI campus placed on a power-adjacent brownfield industrial parcel.

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

VIJO (Suzhou) Optoelectronics Technology completed a financing round of nearly 100 million RMB to scale Micro LED optical chip production, according to LEDinside. In parallel, commercial lighting discussions are shifting from LED lifespan to intelligent drivers and smart control integration, as described in a sponsored Electronic Design QuickChat featuring Jameco Electronics and Mean Well USA. A Design World teardown of five 60 W-equivalent LED bulbs shows why operators can’t treat “LED replacement lamps” as interchangeable, with big differences in heat sinking, wiring, and driver topology that directly affect lumen maintenance, dimming, and serviceability.

  • 01Micro LED capacity is being financed now, which matters most for operators writing multi-year display and specialty lighting roadmaps, where qualified supply can become the schedule.
  • 02The teardown signal to carry into procurement is simple: two bulbs can share the same “60 W-equivalent” label while hiding completely different thermal and driver designs, and those differences are what drive field performance.
  • 03Controls and drivers are becoming the spec, not the chip. For projects that must integrate sensors or wireless controls, driver feature sets and thermal derating behavior belong in the submittal checklist.
