Major Responsibilities

• This position requires the ability to deliver innovative automation solutions and design standards either self-directed or as a leader of a team. The candidate must have the ability to conceptualize, detail and implement control systems for industrial processes and machinery that meet our customers’ requirements. This involves the development of a control system architecture, selecting the components to be used, detailing schematic diagrams and system documentation, and functional knowledge of PLC/HMI/SCADA systems.
• This position requires in-depth knowledge of Controls hardware including Control Panel design, UL508A familiarity, Motor Control Centers, Hazardous area panel design, and industrial instrumentation. Engineering experience with multiple different voltage levels required.
• For larger systems, experience with industrial networking used to connect control system components and instrumentation is preferred. The Project Engineer would design, detail, and implement a variety of fiber, wired and wireless systems using industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, ProfiNET, Modbus, etc.).
• The ideal candidate must have a diverse engineering skillset with the ability to work independently. Will act as technical lead on projects and guide lower-level engineers and technicians. 
• This position also requires performing the Project management role on some projects, instead of hardware engineering or in addition to. This will involve:
• developing project execution plans, work breakdown structures and associated budgets
• task prioritization and scheduling, task ordering, time tracking and reporting
• financial tracking and reporting, early problem identification
• conflict management/resolution, leading and supporting a team, and attending project status meetings.
• Overseeing daily operations and activities of projects up to $1.5M. 
• This position is often responsible for ensuring the overall profitability of the project.

Minimum Requirements

Education

Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical/Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Computer Science is required.

• Extensive experience in design of electrical schematics, including power distribution of 480VAC, 230VAC, 208VAC, 240VAC,120VAC, and 24VDC
• Background in Hazardous Location Control System Design including Intrinsically Safe Circuits, Purged Panels, Explosion Proof Panels, and Division 2 Panel Design
• Experience with Surge Protection for Power Distribution and IO Protection
• Ability to perform Control Panel FLA, Heating/Cooling, and SCCR Calculations
• In-depth understanding of Control Panel production process
• Functional understanding of PLC hardware/software platforms such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens, and Modicon.
• Familiarity with HMI/SCADA hardware/software platforms such as Wonderware, GE iFIX, Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View, Schneider, and Siemens.
• Understanding of DCS hardware/software platforms such as Emerson DeltaV or similar.
• Experience in industries such as Water/Wastewater Treatment, Life Sciences, Building Automation, Food and Beverage, Oil & Gas and Mining.
• Experience leading a team of engineers/technicians to provide control system solutions.
• Experience mentoring less experienced engineers.
• Professional references, preferably one from each of the following: a subordinate, a peer, and a manager.
• Ability to travel up to 10% to 25%.
