Senior Controls Engineer Albuquerque, NM
ZipRecruiter, Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States, 87101
Overview
JOB DESCRIPTION:
We have a Senior/Controls Engineer position available in our Albuquerque, NM office. This person will provide team leadership in delivering automation systems for a wide variety of industries. This position requires demonstrated technical proficiency in implementing automation solutions with PLC, DCS, HMI, and SCADA platforms. The Senior Controls Engineer will interact directly with the customer and lead a team of Wunderlich-Malec engineers in identifying requirements, developing specifications, and implementing/testing/commissioning/qualifying automation solutions. This is a leadership role within the business unit with strong problem-solving ability, people skills, an aptitude for business efficiency, and an interest in creating partnerships. The Senior Controls Engineer demonstrates success by securing repeat work with both new and existing customers.
Responsibilities
This position requires the ability to deliver innovative automation solutions and design standards either self-directed or as a leader of a team. The candidate must have the ability to conceptualize, detail, and implement control systems for industrial processes and machinery that meet customer requirements. This involves the development of a control system architecture, selecting the components to be used, detailing schematic diagrams and system documentation, programming controllers (PLC, DCS, RTU), programming the process visualization (HMI/SCADA), developing databases for archiving/displaying historical system data, and implementing/commissioning the control system at the client facility. Knowledge of controller programming such as Ladder, Sequential Function Chart, Structured Text, and others to achieve the desired results is required. Also having knowledge of standard programming such as VBA, .NET, and SQL for the development of HMI/SCADA systems is required.
For larger systems, experience with industrial networking used to connect control system components and instrumentation is required. The Controls Engineer would design, detail, and implement a variety of fiber, wired, and wireless systems using industrial protocols (Ethernet/IP, Profinet, Modbus, etc.).
This position often requires project management responsibilities: developing project execution plans, work breakdown structures and budgets, task prioritization and scheduling, time tracking and reporting, financial tracking and reporting, early problem identification, conflict management/resolution, leading and supporting a team, and attending project status meetings. Also includes overseeing daily operations and activities of a project(s) up to $1M and ensuring overall profitability.
The ideal candidate must have a diverse engineering skillset with the ability to work independently. Will act as technical lead on projects and guide lower-level engineers and technicians. Could also act as Project Manager on smaller projects.
Qualifications
Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical/Control Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Computer Science is required.
10+ years of controls engineering experience with capabilities in the following areas:
Rockwell and Cimplicity experience preferred
Experience with various 3rd party web-based data integrations for monitoring and troubleshooting
Develop work processes to automate template and instance development within the System Platform
Provide technical leadership on design standards around graphics, alarming, and scale-up
SQL, .NET, Power BI, Grafana, and APIs
In-depth understanding of PLC hardware/software platforms such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens, and Modicon
In-depth understanding of HMI/SCADA platforms such as ICONICS Genesis64, Wonderware ArchestrA System Platform, GE CIMPLICITY, GE iFIX, Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk View, Schneider, and Siemens
In-depth understanding of DCS hardware/software platforms such as Emerson DeltaV or similar
Experience in industries such as Semiconductor facilities, Life Sciences, Building Automation, Food and Beverage, Oil & Gas, and Mining
Experience in electrical schematics design, including power distribution under 480VAC, control panels, and NEC references
Experience with AutoCAD is desired
Experience leading a team of engineers/technicians to provide control system solutions
Experience mentoring less experienced engineers
Professional references, preferably one from each of the following: a subordinate, a peer, and a manager
Field device/equipment troubleshooting
Job estimating
Physical Demands of Position
Seeing, perception, hearing, clear speech, dexterity in hands, driving, lifting, mounting/dismounting equipment, pushing and pulling.
Working Environment
Standard office environment, on-site office environment, diverse industrial environments, frequent use of computer and office equipment.
