  • Support the selection, configuration, and integration of control hardware, including controllers, relays, meters, and network devices.
  • Conduct Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) and Site Acceptance Tests (SATs).
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to control logic, real-time execution, PLC/SCADA behavior, and system performance, both remotely and on-site.
  • Ensure compliance with cybersecurity requirements and relevant standards and codes (e.g., UL, IEEE, NFPA).
  • Support installation, commissioning, field deployments, and ongoing operational troubleshooting.
  • Interface with clients, vendors, and internal stakeholders to provide technical documentation, training, and ongoing support.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
  • 3-5 years of experience developing PLC, HMI, and control software for industrial or energy systems
  • Strong object-oriented programming skills (e.g., C++, C#, Python, or similar).
  • Hands-on experience with Siemens PLC programming (TIA Portal).
  • Experience with Ignition SCADA, including HMI development and system integration.
  • Familiarity with control algorithms, real-time systems, and industrial automation concepts.
  • Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC UA, Profinet).
  • Experience with version control systems and structured software development practices.
  • Ability to troubleshoot control systems both remotely and on-site.
  • Willingness to travel for commissioning and field deployments, including travel to the United States
