Type: Full-time | Location: Charlotte, NC

Were hiring a SCADA Engineer with flexibility to hire at Engineer or Senior Engineer level. Youll design, build, deploy, and support modern SCADA/BMS solutions (with a strong preference for Inductive Automation Ignition, especially Perspective). This role blends UI/UX for operator interfaces, industrial data modeling (tags/UDTs), integration (PLCs, networks, databases), commissioning support, and strong engineering standards.

Responsibilities

  • Design and configure Ignition Perspective views using established standards and reusable components.
  • Develop and maintain UDTs, tag structures, tag providers, and gateway configurations for PLCs, field devices, and enterprise integrations.
  • Configure and maintain alarms, trends, historian tags, reporting, and database-driven workflows to meet project/customer requirements.
  • Lead or support commissioning, including FAT/SAT, and provide onsite/remote support for SCADA/BMS deployments.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues spanning PLCs, HMIs/SCADA apps, servers, device integrations, and industrial networks (with increasing autonomy at senior level).
  • Partner with project leads, designers, and stakeholders to deliver complete SCADA solutions on time and to spec.
  • Create and maintain technical/project documentation (functional specs, architecture diagrams, I/O & tag lists, test procedures, as applicable).
  • Participate in (and for senior: own) code reviews, standards improvements, templates, naming conventions, and best practices.
  • For senior-level scope: mentor junior engineers, provide actionable feedback, and guide technical decisions across complex/multi-site projects.
  • Apply and promote OT cybersecurity and high-availability best practices.

Qualifications

Engineer-level

  • 2–4 years of experience in one or more of the following: PLC and HMI/SCADA programming (preferably Ignition) HVAC/building automation controls and BMS integration Industrial networking and protocols Low-voltage control panel wiring and field device commissioning Front-end development for operator interfaces Scripting/software development (Python, Java, SQL, or modern front-end frameworks)
  • Bachelors degree in a relevant engineering/technical discipline or equivalent experience
  • Ignition Core Certified (or ability to obtain quickly)

Senior-Level (Well level you here if you bring most of this)

  • 5–8 years designing, implementing, and supporting SCADA systems, with significant exposure to Ignition or similar modern platforms
  • Proven experience leading technical work streams on complex or multi-site SCADA/BMS projects
  • Strong proficiency in: PLC programming and/or industrial protocols Ignition Designer, Perspective, tag providers, and gateway configuration Industrial networking + OT cybersecurity concepts Database integration (queries, historization, reporting)
  • Bachelors degree in Engineering/Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Ignition Gold Certified (or ability to obtain quickly)

Leveling (How We Decide Engineer vs Senior)

Well align title and compensation based on your demonstrated ability to:

  • Own architecture and technical deliverables end-to-end
  • Lead standards and drive maintainable, scalable SCADA patterns
  • Diagnose complex cross-system issues and perform root-cause analysis
  • Mentor others and guide technical execution across projects

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with reusable UI component libraries, design systems, or HMI/SCADA UX best practices
  • Familiarity with OT segmentation, firewall/VLAN concepts, secure remote access, and high availability
  • Prior experience supporting production environments with on-call or critical uptime requirements

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
