Systems Engineer II

Position Summary

The Systems Engineer II is a professional-level engineering role responsible for independently executing automation and control system projects and support activities with minimal supervision. This position contributes to the design, implementation, testing, commissioning, maintenance, and optimization of industrial automation systems while serving as a trusted technical resource for customers and project teams.

The Systems Engineer II applies process control knowledge and automation expertise to develop technical solutions, troubleshoot system issues, execute project deliverables, and support customer operations. This role regularly interfaces with customer stakeholders, contributes to project planning and execution, supports less experienced engineers, and continues to expand technical depth and industry expertise.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, configure, implement, and support industrial automation systems, including Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), SCADA systems, data historians, and related technologies.
  • Develop control strategies, interlocks, sequences, graphics, alarm configurations, historian integrations, and control modules that meet customer and project requirements.
  • Interpret customer requirements, process descriptions, P&IDs, specifications, and design inputs to develop technical solutions and project deliverables.
  • Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including functional specifications, control narratives, I/O lists, testing documentation, and related project records.
  • Execute Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning, startup, validation, and change control activities.
  • Troubleshoot automation, integration, and control system issues, perform root cause investigations, and implement corrective actions to improve system reliability and performance.
  • Support lifecycle management activities, upgrades, migrations, maintenance efforts, and operational support activities.
  • Participate in customer meetings, gather technical requirements, communicate project status, and serve as a reliable technical resource during project execution and site support activities.
  • Collaborate with engineering, operations, validation, IT, quality, and project management teams to support successful project delivery.
  • Mentor interns and Systems Engineer I team members through project execution, onboarding, training, and technical guidance.
  • Identify opportunities for additional engineering services and communicate those opportunities to engineering leadership and account teams.
  • Leverage emerging technologies and digital tools, including artificial intelligence (AI), to improve engineering productivity, technical documentation, troubleshooting, project execution, and business processes.

Travel Requirements

This role includes up to 60% travel to customer sites to support project execution, commissioning, startup, troubleshooting, testing, training, and other customer-facing activities.

Project assignments may require extended onsite support at customer locations. Individuals in this role must be open to temporary relocation or assignment-based relocation for project work based on customer, project, and business needs.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline or equivalent experience
  • 3+ years of experience designing, configuring, implementing, testing, or supporting industrial automation and control systems within manufacturing, process control, engineering services, life sciences, or related technical environments.
  • 3+ years of experience developing and maintaining engineering documentation, including functional specifications, control narratives, testing documentation, design documentation, or related project deliverables.
  • 3+ years of experience troubleshooting automation, integration, process control, or manufacturing system issues in project, operational, or support environments.
  • 3+ years of experience supporting commissioning, startup, testing, validation, change control, or operational support activities.
  • 3+ years of experience working within project-based engineering environments with responsibility for technical deliverables, project execution, customer support, or cross-functional collaboration.
  • 3+ years of experience using engineering software, business applications, and Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Teams, and SharePoint.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Emerson DeltaV, Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Ignition, Wonderware, OSI PI, PLC, SCADA, or similar automation platforms.
  • Experience developing control strategies, HMI graphics, alarm management solutions, historian integrations, or automation code modifications.
  • Experience with industrial networking, system integration, databases, virtualization, cybersecurity, or industrial communication protocols.
  • Experience supporting manufacturing operations in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life sciences, chemical, energy, utilities, food and beverage, or advanced manufacturing environments.
  • Experience performing Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning, startup, or validation activities.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers, interns, or technical team members.
  • Experience leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve engineering productivity, technical documentation, software development, troubleshooting, data analysis, project execution, or other business and engineering workflows.

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.
