This is a hands-on role focused on control system architecture, integration, testing, and commissioning across the full product lifecycle. The role emphasizes open, vendor-neutral automation architectures using IEC 61131-3 PLC platforms and modern SCADA systems, with a strong focus on maintainability, documentation, and field readiness. Preferred Controls Architecture PLC: IEC 61131-3, CODESYS-based PLC / SoftPLC SCADA: Inductive Automation Ignition Interoperability: OPC UA (primary), MQTT where applicable Key Responsibilities Design and implement PLC and SCADA architectures for industrial and critical power applications. Develop core controls deliverables including sequences of operation, I/O lists, control narratives, and cause-and-effect logic. Implement and troubleshoot PLC logic including interlocks, permissives, alarms, and fail-safe behaviors. Integrate power equipment, metering, and third-party devices into control and SCADA systems (including VFDs/drives and motor control components as applicable). Support system validation, FAT/SAT execution, and commissioning activities. Implement and support industrial communications using standard protocols (e.g., Modbus TCP/RTU, Ethernet-based protocols, OPC UA). Maintain clear, controlled documentation aligned with company standards and change management practices. Collaborate with electrical, manufacturing, suppliers, and field teams to support successful delivery. Requirements: Qualifications Bachelors degree in electrical engineering, Controls Engineering, or related technical discipline. 3+ years of experience delivering PLC/SCADA systems in industrial or power-related environments. Strong understanding of three-phase power systems, control power, wiring practices, and electrical safety. Proficiency with IEC 61131-3 PLC programming and structured troubleshooting. Experience supporting FAT, SAT, and field commissioning. Practical knowledge of industrial networking and common protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU minimum). Strong documentation skills and disciplined approach to configuration and change control. Preferred Skills Experience with CODESYS-based PLC platforms and reusable control libraries. Hands-on experience with Ignition SCADA (tag modeling, alarming, historian). Familiarity with protective device integration (breakers, relays, trip units). Experience integrating VFDs/drives, MCC equipment, UPS/generators, metering, or environmental monitoring systems. OT cybersecurity awareness and secure remote access concepts.
