Sr. HMI & SCADA Systems Engineer

Our client is seeking a Senior HMI & SCADA Systems Engineer to own our Ignition-based SCADA platform across automated distribution and logistics facilities. This is a high-visibility role where you will serve as the internal expert their operations teams rely on and the primary technical voice accountable for holding major system integrators to their standards.

•     Own and govern our Ignition SCADA platform including architecture, templates, UDTs, alarm pipelines, and visual standards

•     Lead migration projects from legacy HMI platforms to Ignition

•     Ensure consistency in operator experience and system reliability across facilities

•     Build PLC-based emulation models to validate control logic, device interaction, and alarm behavior prior to deployment

•     Execute virtual commissioning engagements

•     Document and resolve pre-deployment issues to reduce commissioning risk

•     Serve as the primary technical interface with major automation system integrators

•     Hold integrators accountable to HMI/SCADA standards, communicate expectations clearly and escalate when necessary

•     Partner with internal engineering, operations, and IT teams across project delivery

•     Contribute to documentation, standards governance, and internal training

•     5+ years of hands-on Ignition HMI development and deployment with enterprise SCADA architecture experience, not just screen-level builds

•     Strong PLC background across development, deployment, and troubleshooting on Allen-Bradley

•     Emulate3D experience in virtual commissioning contexts with the ability to speak to specific project outcomes

•     Demonstrated ability to communicate directly with external vendors and integrators and hold them accountable to technical standards

•     Track record of leading technical projects in cross-functional, multi-stakeholder environments

•     Experience in large-scale distribution, logistics, or warehouse automation environments

•     Familiarity with major material handling system integrators and their control system ecosystems

•     Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or equivalent field experience

The technical qualifications get you in the door. These are the traits that determine whether you thrive here.

•     You communicate with clarity and confidence across all levels, from internal peers and senior leadership to vendor engineers and third-party integrators

•     You are collaborative by nature and understand that keeping projects on schedule requires bringing people along, not just knowing the right answer

•     You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. When something is off-track, you identify it early, raise it clearly, and drive it to resolution

•     You are comfortable in the field. This role requires presence on site and the ability to operate effectively in active facility environments during commissioning and go-live phases
