Design and deliver safety-critical automation solutions that help protect people, assets, and operations.

Join a multidisciplinary technical team delivering large-scale, high-complexity industrial automation projects. You will translate customer requirements into dependable Triconex Safety Instrumented System (SIS) solutions across front-end engineering design, detailed design, system integration, testing, commissioning, and handoff.

This role is ideal for an Engineer who enjoys difficult technical problems, direct customer collaboration, and seeing design progress from concept to an operating system. You do not need experience with every technology listed; we value strong fundamentals, curiosity, accountability, and the ability to learn quickly.

What will you do?

• Design, configure, optimize, and deploy Triconex SIS hardware and application solutions in accordance with project specifications and site requirements.
• Develop and modify safety logic using logic diagrams, cause-and-effect matrices, control narratives, and basis-of-design documents.
• Design customized SIS human-machine interface (HMI) applications and contribute to system architecture, hardware, software, and network design.
• Create test plans and test documentation; execute internal system testing and support customer factory acceptance testing (FAT).
• Commission systems, troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and communications issues, and make controlled field changes needed to return operations to service safely and on schedule.
• Participate in internal and customer design reviews, clearly communicating technical decisions, risks, status, and priorities.
• Apply standard libraries, proven designs, and QA/QC processes while meeting cybersecurity, engineering, schedule, and quality requirements.
• Collaborate with project managers, engineers, designers, and other stakeholders to resolve issues and meet project commitments.

What are the key skills and experience we are looking for?

• 2 + years of PLC, SIS, DCS, or industrial automation project engineering experience.
• Experience with Triconex or another safety PLC platform and with system integration, FAT, site acceptance testing, startup, or commissioning.
• Experience configuring and troubleshooting Modbus, Modbus TCP, OPC, industrial networks, switches, firewalls, or related hardware.
• Experience with C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, Microsoft Windows, or common Microsoft productivity applications

What's in it for you?

You will work within a project team led by a project manager and supported by multiple engineering disciplines. The role combines independent technical ownership with frequent collaboration and customer interaction. The systems you help deliver provide critical shutdown functions that protect people, equipment, and production assets.
