Senior Industrial Controls Engineer - Siemens & SCADA

AT Process Technologies; Berwick (ME); On-site; USD 100,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

AT Process Technologies is building a core team of engineers to develop autonomous skidded production systems for hazardous-chemistry environments. You will own control systems end-to-end from benchtop to automated production modules and collaborate with chemistry, process, and mechanical teams to ensure safe, scalable operation.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with industrial controls on real hardware, a safety-first mindset, and a track record of delivering reliable control

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Robotics Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Chemical Engineering, or related discipline.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain control systems, data acquisition, and SCADA architectures for ATP's modular energetics production plants
• Design and program Siemens PLC control systems for chemical reactors, fluid handling, thermal management, and material transfer
• Develop and deploy real-time control software for process startup, steady-state operation, upset response, and safe shutdown sequencing
• Implement safety PLCs, fail-safe I/O, ProfiSafe devices, and safety-rated motion control in alignment with ISO 13849, IEC 61508, and ISO 10218
• Design industrial control panels for 480 VAC / 24 VDC systems, including wiring architectures, panel layouts, and field termination
• Integrate sensors and instrumentation for pressure, temperature, flow, level, concentration, and other process variables
• Configure and integrate vision systems, robotics, servos, VFDs, sensors, actuators, and communication devices
• Develop UDTs, HMI faceplates, and operator interfaces that support both lights-out operation and clear human oversight
• Collaborate with mechanical, process, and chemistry engineers to translate process requirements into control logic, safety limits, and operating envelopes
• Lead hands-on commissioning, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and factory and site acceptance testing
• Troubleshoot hardware and software issues across controls, instrumentation, valves, and actuators during commissioning and production runs
• Contribute to root cause analysis and corrective actions for process and equipment anomalies
