The Controls & Instrumentation Engineer will own the programming, commissioning, and lifecycle support of mission-critical facility automation systems within a high-volume semiconductor fabrication environment. Working on the facility automation team, the engineer will manage the SCADA platform, PLC fleet, and OT network supporting the Central Management System and Fab Monitoring System. Key responsibilities include administering a multi-gateway Ignition SCADA environment, developing control logic on Schneider Electric M251 and M580 platforms using Structured Text, and configuring variable frequency drives. The role requires expertise in Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP protocols, as well as Python/Jython scripting for automated reporting. The engineer will solve complex technical problems involving process cooling water, cleanroom HVAC, and life-safety gas monitoring infrastructure while coordinating with various engineering and trade contractors.
Administer a multi-gateway Ignition SCADA environment including production gateways and development environments.
Develop and maintain control logic on Schneider Electric M251 and M580 platforms for HVAC and process utilities.
Design and maintain Perspective-based HMI screens and Python/Jython scripts for automated reporting and alarming.
Lead the startup and commissioning of cleanroom equipment and facility automation systems under accelerated schedules.
Coordinate commissioning activities with mechanical, electrical, and controls trade contractors to resolve field conflicts.
Review engineering-of-record design packages to identify discrepancies in control narratives and sequence logic.
Author engineering specifications, control narratives, and standards documents for facility automation systems.
Manage OT network communications including OPC UA architecture, Modbus TCP, and Ethernet/IP integration logic.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Controls Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Hands-on PLC programming experience with Schneider Electric M251/M580 or comparable platforms using IEC 61131-3 languages.
Production experience with an industrial SCADA platform, including Perspective/Vision HMI development and gateway administration (Inductive Automation Ignition preferred).
Working knowledge of industrial communication protocols including Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and Ethernet/IP.
Understanding of OT network architecture, including VLAN segmentation and managed switch configuration.
Experience with control sequences and building or facility automation systems.
Strong written communication skills for technical documentation and cross-team coordination.
