Salary:
Join the power movement as a Staff SCADA & MES Engineer
The Production team is seeking an experienced Staff SCADA & MES Engineer to take responsibility for the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of the factory’s SCADA, HMI, and MES systems. In this role, you are the “architect” of these systems, and you ensure that the technology and processes used to build products are user-friendly, efficient, integrated, and reliable. The SCADA/HMI system will act as the primary mechanism that allows the technicians and manufacturing engineers to configure and operate production equipment, as well as providing monitoring of the whole factory, bringing together all the data from the control systems of each piece of equipment. This position also plays a key role in establishing standardized frameworks and facilitating robust data workflows for MES to ensure that all production lines are using the same architecture so that production is scalable and resilient.
What you'll do:
- Design, build, and maintain the SCADA and HMI systems for Production to monitor real-time data and manage production workflows
- Collaborate with other manufacturing systems & controls engineers to define and implement the control architecture and interfaces with other systems
- Collaborate with controls engineers and other key stakeholders to ensure all necessary functions and interfaces are included in the design and implemented according to requirements
- Establish seamless communication between field devices (PLCs, sensors, drives) and the supervisory layer using industrial protocols (such as OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus)
- Design and manage SQL databases to ensure accurate data logging, historical trending, and reporting for OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), downtime analysis, and quality tracking
- Develop, improve, and maintain the company’s MES (Manufacturing Execution System) including setting standards for work instructions, mBOMs, and traceability in collaboration with the IT Business Solutions team
- Contribute to equipment design reviews and ensure that all manufacturing systems comply with safety regulations, cybersecurity standards, and company standards
- Support the Production team as needed with design and scoping of equipment as it relates to SCADA & HMI systems
What we're looking for:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related field
- Experience with the design, build, and maintenance of SCADA, HMI, and MES systems from concept to completion for a large-scale manufacturing factory
- Several years of experience with control systems, automation, robotics or similar
- Experience with Beckhoff and Siemens controls platforms
- Knowledge of NFPA-70E & 79 regulations
- Experience in Ignition SCADA systems
- Python and SQL programming experience
- Experience with industrial communication protocols (such as Profinet, Profibus, S7, OPC UA, Modbus, or BACnet)
- Experience with functional modeling languages (such as UML, SysML, GRAFCET, SDL or similar) and/or database modeling and diagramming
- Experience with requirements gathering, function definition and decomposition, technical writing and documentation
- Software Lifecycle Management - QA, version control, testing, commissioning and validation
- Production of engineering deliverables for design reviews, commissioning, operations, and maintenance
Bonus points for:
- C/C++, Java, Bash or other programming skills
- Current best practices and emerging technologies in industrial control systems
- Networks experience
Must-have requirements:
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs occasionally
- Perform activities such as typing, standing, stooping, climbing, and sitting for extended periods of time
- Dedication to safety to mitigate hazards that may include heat, cold, noise, fumes, strong magnets, lead, high voltage, and cryogenics
- Willingness to occasionally travel or work required nights/weekends/on-call
