Description

We are seeking an experienced Commissioning Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) Engineer to lead commissioning activities for large-scale semiconductor fabrication and/or mission-critical data center projects in Boise, ID. The successful candidate will have at least 8 years of experience in instrumentation, controls, automation, process control systems, installation, testing, and commissioning, with deep knowledge of control system architecture, field instrumentation, testing protocols, industry standards, and operational handover processes.

This position requires strong technical expertise, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to manage multiple commissioning tasks in a fast-paced, schedule-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

• PLC, DCS, SCADA, and HMI systems
• Field instrumentation, sensors, transmitters, analyzers, and control devices
• Process control loops, interlocks, alarms, and sequence of operations
• Control panels, I/O panels, remote I/O, junction boxes, and marshalling cabinets
• Instrument air, pneumatic controls, valves, actuators, and positioners
• Communication networks and industrial protocols such as Ethernet/IP, Modbus, BACnet, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, or similar systems
• Monitoring and control systems supporting process utilities, high-purity systems, specialty gases, chemical delivery, wastewater treatment, HVAC, and mission-critical infrastructure

Review and interpret I&C drawings, P&IDs, loop diagrams, control schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, network architecture drawings, cause-and-effect matrices, sequence of operations, and project specifications.
