Descripción del empleo

Technical Leadership & Engineering Authority

• Serve as the senior technical authority for the design and implementation of industrial automation and control systems.


• Establish control system architectures, engineering standards, and technical approaches for assigned projects.


• Apply advanced engineering judgment to evaluate design alternatives, manage technical risk, and resolve complex system constraints.


• Review, approve, and validate engineering deliverables produced by internal teams and external partners.

Control System Design

• Lead the design of electrical control systems in compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., NFPA 70, UL 508A).


• Develop and approve control schematics, wiring designs, panel layouts, and bills of materials.


• Provide engineering oversight of panel manufacturing activities to ensure designs are implemented as intended.

Automation Software Architecture & Development

• Architect and develop PLC software solutions using platforms such as Allen-Bradley and Siemens.


• Define structured programming standards, reusable libraries, and system interfaces to support scalability and long-term maintainability.


• Lead the configuration and validation of HMI/SCADA systems to support safe and efficient operation.

Drives, Motion, and Control Theory Application

• Engineer advanced motion control and variable frequency drive (VFD) solutions aligned with system performance requirements.


• Apply control theory principles to tune, optimize, and validate system behavior.


• Specify and approve drive, motion, and control components based on application demands and lifecycle considerations.


• Lead system integration activities, coordinating electrical, mechanical, and process engineering disciplines.


• Direct on-site commissioning activities with a focus on engineering verification, performance validation, and technical issue resolution, rather than routine installation or production labor.


• Diagnose complex system issues and implement corrective engineering solutions.


• Ensure technical documentation and knowledge transfer meet project and customer requirements.

Strategic, Commercial & Project Contribution

• Act as a senior technical stakeholder in project planning, execution strategy, and risk assessment.


• Provide engineering input into project pricing, scope definition, and margin management decisions.


• Identify opportunities for standardization, modularization, and scalable solution development.


• Monitor technical progress against project objectives and proactively communicate risks, assumptions, and required scope adjustments.

Safety & Professional Practice

• Ensure engineering designs and field activities comply with applicable safety standards and internal policies.


• Lead or contribute to Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and Pre-Task Planning from an engineering risk perspective.


• Maintain required professional training and certifications relevant to industrial automation environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering; Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology or related field


• 8+ years of experience working within a systems integrator, OEM Machine builder, custom automation integrator, industrial controls, industrial equipment, automation, drive systems, etc.. based setting
