Automation specialist/technician
Explanation:
I wasn't happy with the introduction of "controller" because that is just one of many specific possibilities for a position in automation

specialist or technician is more generalist. I think if this person were an engineer, they would have stated it - but it's a guess based on how frequently that happens


Agent technique ou technicien, l' Automaticien installe, règle et entretient des équipements automatisés. Il assure le montage de tout ou partie de différents systèmes, selon des normes et en s'appuyant sur un cahier des charges, des plans, des schémas techniques ou des documents constructeur. (Les systèmes automatisés peuvent comprendre de la mécanique, de l'hydraulique, du pneumatique, de l'électronique de commande ou de puissance et de la microélectronique).


Il diagnostique et détecte tout dysfonctionnement et remédie aux défauts constatés en intervenant (régler, réparer), ou en donnant les ordres appropriés.
L' Automaticien apporte une assistance technique dans la conduite des opérations, soit pour la maintenance et les régulations, soit pour le contrôle des différentes phases du travail et le respect des règles de sécurité. Il est de plus en plus amené à utiliser l'informatique et notamment la GMAO (Gestion de la Maintenance Assistée par Ordinateur) ou la CAO (Conception assistée par ordinateur).

I was also in doubt about electro - since automation involves both electrical and electronics skills and they could cross over in the same position... maybe just leave it at "automation"

Explanation:
Although Wikipédia had a listing for “automaticien” it didn’t have a direct link to anything in Wikipedia. So I went through some of their other links until I found that a definition for “automaticien” and what the related subject was in English. It’s difficult to find job listings for an ‘electrical controller,’ although they do exist, because that term is also used for parts. There are more hits for ‘electrical engineer/controller.’

Automatisme (organe)
Un automatisme est un sous-ensemble d'une machine, destinée à remplacer l'action de l'être humain dans des tâches en générales simples et répétitives, réclamant précision rigueur.
Automaticien : Programmeur d'Automate Programmable Industriel.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatisme_(organe)

A Programmable Logic Controller, PLC, or Programmable Controller is a digital computer used for automation of industrial processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines. Unlike general-purpose computers, the PLC is designed for multiple inputs and output arrangements, extended temperature ranges, immunity to electrical noise, and resistance to vibration and impact. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a real time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a bounded time, otherwise unintended operation will result.

Earlier, I left out the reference to "automatique," which is the link that I followed to get to the English page on control theory. Perhaps it is due to this difference in names that a large number of organizations use a form of both automation and control in their web pages (see references below). Perhaps that solution will work for you.

Automatique – Wikipédia
L'automatique fait partie des sciences de l'ingénieur. Cette discipline traite de la modélisation, de l'analyse, de la commande et, de la régulation des systèmes dynamiques. Elle a pour fondements théoriques les mathématiques, la théorie du signal et l'informatique théorique. L'automatique permet l'automatisation de tâches par des machines fonctionnant sans intervention humaine. On parle alors de système asservi ou régulé.
