Edit table with corresponding value <select>

Question

I have a form to edit the table data, it is working normally. But when loading the page is searching for the last name of the table.

I would like to know a way to load the page, come already selected the value corresponding to the data of that table.

The relations are right, Insert, delete and even update. However when I edit, instead of searching for the name of the position corresponding to the employee it looks for the last position. See:

I’m trying to do the if but it didn’t work out too well...

I added the condition to the code, if the cargo_id (Work Table) is equal to id_position (Position Table)

<?php if( $linha['cargo_id'] == $lista['id_cargo']){?>selected<?php } ?>

I did so:

<select class="form-control" name="cargo_id">
    <?php 
    while($linha = mysqli_fetch_array($consulta_cargo,$consulta_func)){
      ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $lista['id_cargo']?>" <?php if( $linha['cargo_id'] == $lista['id_cargo']){?>selected<?php } ?>> <?php echo $lista['nome_cargo']?></option>
        <?php
    }
        ?>
</select>
