## About the Role

The ideal candidate profile is a self-sufficient pharma automation engineer with solid Rockwell experience, who has already operated in GMP environments and is comfortable being the primary support resource.

 + Demonstrated experience supporting formulation, filling, packaging, or other sterile/regulated production lines (not just lab or utilities, if possible).
 + Strong background with Rockwell / Allen-Bradley PLCs (Studio 5000) in live production support environments.
 + Proven troubleshooting skills with FactoryTalk-based HMI/SCADA (e.g., FactoryTalk View SE/ME) and related automation components.
 + Clear history of working under SOPs and within change control, deviation, and validation frameworks.
 + Ability to support off-shift as needed.
 + Strong verbal and written communication skills for interacting with operators, maintenance, and site leadership, as well as for documentation and shift handoffs.
 + Ability to work methodically and conservatively in a regulated environment.
 + Self-starting personality with a track record of taking ownership of issues, following through, and knowing when to escalate.
