- Create test plans and test documentation; execute internal system testing and support customer factory acceptance testing (FAT).
- Commission systems, troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and communications issues, and make controlled field changes needed to return operations to service safely and on schedule.
- Participate in internal and customer design reviews, clearly communicating technical decisions, risks, status, and priorities.
- Apply standard libraries, proven designs, and QA/QC processes while meeting cybersecurity, engineering, schedule, and quality requirements.
- Collaborate with project managers, engineers, designers, and other stakeholders to resolve issues and meet project commitments.
- 2 years of PLC, SIS, DCS, or industrial automation project engineering experience.
- Experience with Triconex or another safety PLC platform and with system integration, FAT, site acceptance testing, startup, or commissioning.
- Experience configuring and troubleshooting Modbus, Modbus TCP, OPC, industrial networks, switches, firewalls, or related hardware.
- Experience with C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Microsoft Windows, or common Microsoft productivity applications
What’s in it for you?
You will work within a project team led by a project manager and supported by multiple engineering disciplines. The role combines independent technical ownership with frequent collaboration and customer interaction.
