  • Manage source code using Git version control and follow established standards and procedures for software development lifecycle. 

What You'll Bring

  • Other SCADA platform experience is a plus: Rockwell, Wonderware, or GE. 

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to simultaneously organize and successfully execute multiple project responsibilities. 

  • Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact with all levels of management, clients, and vendors. 

  • Ability to mentor and train other less experienced engineers. 

  • Willingness and ability to travel as necessary for project requirements including installation, startup, client meetings, company-sponsored meetings, trainings, industry seminars, forums, or conventions. 

  • Bachelor of Science – Electrical Engineering or Computer Science/Engineering preferred or equivalent experience.
