Location: Polanco, CDMX. As an Automation Engineer, you will own the deployment and integration of real-time power management and SCADA solutions at such as utilities, industrial facilities, data centers, oil & gas and critical infrastructure clients across the Americas and internationally. You will work hands-on with one of the most technically advanced power systems platforms available today - configuring, commissioning, and delivering projects end-to-end for English-speaking clients across the US, Middle East, India, and Asia. This is a mid-level role for an engineer who is ready to stop doing the same project repeatedly and start building depth across a genuinely complex and varied portfolio. You will have direct proximity to the product teams behind the platform you deploy - something no third-party integrator can offer. If you are looking for a role where your technical decisions matter and your exposure grows faster than it would in a specialized position, this is that role.

Responsibilities - You will do:

• Own end-to-end deployment and integration of ETAP Real-Time solutions including Power Management Systems, Electrical SCADA, and Digital Twin implementations
• Lead client-facing technical communication including project scope definition, delivery updates, and commissioning handover
• Configure and integrate RTU and field device communication using standard industrial protocols including Modbus, DNP3, IEC 104, IEC 61850, and OPC UA
• Program and configure RTUs and field controllers using IEC 61131-3 languages including Structured Text and Function Block Diagrams
• Connect to and manage protective relays including settings file retrieval, configuration, and database management for asset management projects
• Design and develop electrical HMI graphics representing client power systems, substations, and control schemes
• Build and maintain one-line diagram models representing client electrical networks
• Independently troubleshoot and resolve SCADA communication, HMI, and power management issues before escalating
• Perform and lead functional testing, commissioning, and client training at project sites across the Americas and internationally
• Identify and communicate project risks, technical blockers, and scope changes proactively to project management
• Informally support and guide junior engineers on technical tasks and project delivery standards

Requirements - You need to have:

• Advanced English proficiency (C1 or higher) - while this position is based in Mexico, the majority of clients span the US, Middle East, India, and Asia
• Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience delivering electrical SCADA or power monitoring projects using platforms such as Schneider Power Monitoring Expert, Survalent, GE GridSolutions, or similar
• Demonstrated experience building HMI graphics and configuring device communication within an electrical SCADA or power monitoring environment
• Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols including Modbus and DNP3 - point mapping, device configuration, and basic troubleshooting are expected
• Practical experience with industrial networking including IP addressing and communication architecture for automation systems
• Strong computer proficiency with hands-on experience configuring systems, managing software environments, and troubleshooting technical issues independently
• Foundational understanding of electrical power distribution and substation automation concepts sufficient to read a single-line diagram and explain basic system behavior to a client operator

A Plus to have:

• Experience with OPC UA or IEC 61850 MMS for third-party system integration
• Programming experience using IEC 61131-3 languages, specifically Structured Text or Function Block Diagrams, for RTU or PLC automation applications
• Basic familiarity with protective relays and IEDs including connecting to devices and retrieving settings or event records
• Exposure to IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging in a substation automation context
• Field commissioning experience on substation automation or power monitoring projects
• Experience with ADMS, EMS, or Distribution Management Systems
