  • Travel occasionally (approximately 10%) for meetings and on-site system support.

Qualifications

  • Associate or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, or a related field.
  • Hands-on experience programming PLCs using ladder logic, function block diagrams, and other control languages.
  • Familiarity with industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, BACnet, and Ethernet/IP.
  • Experience with HMI design and SCADA systems (e.g., Ignition SCADA, IFIX, Citect) is strongly preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
