Bring industrial processes to life with smart, reliable controls. In this role, you’ll design and commission PLC/PAC-based automation applications—translating real-world plant and building process needs into clean, scalable logic using EcoStruxure Control Expert (Unity Pro) and standard libraries (DDTs/DFBs/SOOs). You’ll collaborate with engineers and customers, help drive quality, and play a visible role in projects from design through startup.
 

What you’ll do (high level)

  • Build and maintain control logic applications for M580 HSBY PACs using customer standards, DDT lists, DFB libraries, and sequences of operation.
  • Participate in internal/customer design reviews (control narratives, cause & effect, program structure) and incorporate feedback.
  • Support commissioning activities: testing, troubleshooting PLC code, tuning PID loops, and using QA/QC processes.
  • Contribute beyond delivery work as needed—supporting demos, pre-sales visits, proposal content, and occasional marketing input.

Requirements

  • Design PLC/PAC logic in EcoStruxure Control Expert (Unity Pro) (plus related tools such as Vijeo Designer / SCADA/HMI exposure).
  • Strong understanding of industrial controls: structured text/ladder logic, data structures (DDTs), function blocks (DFBs), I/O, and electrical/control drawings.
  • Comfortable with industrial networking/protocols (e.g., Modbus, OPC, Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, BACnet) and multi-vendor device integration.
  • Willing to travel ~25–30% for commissioning/support and able to meet customer site access requirements (e.g., background/drug & alcohol/OQ tasks/clearances as applicable).

Experience 

  • 5+ years designing, implementing, troubleshooting, and commissioning PLC / process automation solutions (Schneider Electric experience strongly preferred).
  • Proven experience writing industrial control applications and supporting testing/commissioning (test scripts, troubleshooting, rev control/change management).
  • Working knowledge of programming/scripting languages (VB/C#/C++/Python/Java) and comfort in Windows/Linux environments.
  • Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent hands-on experience delivering automation/controls projects.
