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

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Controls Engineering, or related technical discipline.

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.
