• DCS hardware/software platforms such as Emerson DeltaV or similar
• Instrumentation
• Lead projects as a Project Manager (PM) but not a full-blown PM, this is a hands-on project engineering role.
• Batch/Recipes, OEE, MES, and ERP systems
• Travel up to 25%, mostly local to the Dallas area

NICE TO HAVE:

• AutoCAD experience.
• PMP Certification
• Semiconductor experience
• Life Science Industry Background
• Familiarity with electrical schematics, including power distribution under 480VAC, control panels, and associated NEC references.
