  • Proficiency with ERP/MES integration, cloud technologies (MQTT), and scripting (Python, C#, VBA)
  • Deep experience designing and securing OT networks to industry standards (IEC 62443)
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking, with the ability to produce clear and accurate technical documentation.
  • Skilled in quality control, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration

Work Experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering required; advanced certifications preferred (ISA CAP, PE License - Control Systems)
  • Minimum of 12,000 project hours logged, including system architecture and multi-site implementations (8+ years experience)
  • Prior experience developing and reviewing control narratives, P&IDs, and safety systems (SIS)
