Job description

Join a utility-focused engineering team where deep technical expertise is valued and leveraged daily. This role involves end-to-end SCADA system engineering-from interface design and field device integration to data analysis and continuous optimization. You’ll work hands-on with critical infrastructure technologies, ensuring performance, security, and uptime for substation and distribution automation systems.

What You’ll Do

  • Engineer and deploy SCADA and HMI systems for electric substations and field automation platforms
  • Program and configure control system components, including RTUs, PLCs, and protocol gateways
  • Maintain and troubleshoot installed SCADA infrastructure, including networked devices and associated software environments
  • Analyze historical and live system data to improve reliability, response times, and operational clarity
  • Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to identify control improvements and implement design revisions

Requirements

  • U.S. Citizenship or current Green Card
  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with SCADA platforms such as:
  • Ignition (Inductive Automation)
  • Emerson OSI
  • Wonderware / AVEVA
  • Siemens SICAM
  • ABB MicroSCADA
  • Deep understanding of utility field equipment (relays, IEDs, RTUs, communications hardware) and their workflows
  • Proficiency with Windows-based development and configuration environments for SCADA and HMI systems
  • Familiarity with CI/CD platforms, scripting, or SQL is beneficial but not required

This is an opportunity to work on meaningful, high-impact systems in a stable and technology-driven environment. You’ll be part of a team that values precision, autonomy, and technical mastery, ideal for engineers who take pride in their craft and are ready to shape the next evolution of utility controls., * U.S. Citizenship or current Green Card
