Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement control system architectures for new and existing equipment, including PLC, HMI, and SCADA components.
• Write, review, and maintain PLC code using ladder logic, structured text, or function block programming depending on platform requirements.
• Develop and configure HMI screens and operator interfaces that provide clear status, controls, and alarms for operators.
• Design and configure SCADA systems for supervisory control, data acquisition, visualization, and historical trending.
• Perform system integration, bench testing, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and onsite commissioning.
• Troubleshoot control systems, electrical interfaces, sensors, and drives to resolve failures and optimize performance.
• Produce and maintain electrical schematics, control narratives, I/O lists, functional specifications, and user manuals.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, process, and project management teams to ensure solutions meet functional requirements, safety codes, and project timelines.
• Implement and follow safety, quality, and change-control procedures; participate in risk assessments and hazard analyses.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing performance data and recommending control logic or HMI/SCADA improvements.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical, Control, Automation, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 3 years of experience designing and commissioning industrial control systems (PLC/HMI/SCADA) in manufacturing or process environments preferred.
• Proven experience programming PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider) using ladder logic, structured text, or function block languages.
• Experience developing HMIs (e.g., FactoryTalk View, WinCC, Ignition) and configuring SCADA platforms for visualization and data historian integration.
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols and networks such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, OPC/UA, and serial communications.
• Strong ability to read and create electrical schematics, I/O lists, and wiring diagrams.
• Hands-on commissioning and troubleshooting experience with sensors, actuators, VFDs, motor control, and instrumentation.
• Solid understanding of electrical safety standards, machine safety (e.g., guarding, E-stops), and applicable codes (NFPA70, IEC/EN standards as relevant).
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills; ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team.
• Willingness to travel to project sites for commissioning and support as required.
• Certifications such as Certified Automation Professional (CAP), Rockwell/Siemens certifications, or equivalent are a plus.
