  • Design and deploy SCADA architecture for real-time monitoring and control of power, cooling, and mechanical systems at scale
  • Integrate telemetry from switchgear, generators, chillers, and building management systems into unified data platforms
  • Develop tag databases, HMI screens, and alarm logic for reliable site operations
  • Create standardized, repeatable SCADA and telemetry designs deployable across multiple sites
  • Validate all points and signals with controls, commissioning, and operations teams before live deployment
  • Write precise configuration and documentation enabling other engineers to maintain and extend systems

What they're looking for

  • SCADA system design and deployment
  • Industrial control systems (critical facilities, mission-critical infrastructure)
  • Field device integration (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, OPC UA)
  • HMI and alarm system design
  • Instrumentation and data quality validation
  • Systems standardization and repeatability
  • SCADA platforms (Ignition, AVEVA preferred)
