Job Description
Overview
As a Senior Controls Engineer at Atlas OT, you will help deliver integrated automation and controls solutions across a wide range of industries, including energy, manufacturing, food and beverage, water/wastewater, oil and gas, renewables, and more. You'll contribute to projects involving RTU, PLC, flow computer, SCADA, and DCS systems, supporting everything from design and programming to procurement, testing, and deployment.

  • Estimate project hours and bill of materials (BOMs) in collaboration with Sales and Project Management teams
  • Approve technical deliverables such as functional specifications, programming logic, and final designs
  • Lead efforts in advanced process control, alarm rationalization, and safety system optimization
  • Uphold and improve quality assurance processes, ensuring compliance with industry and company standards

Requirements
Skills Mastery
  • Expert in all five IEC 61131-3 programming languages, with ownership of internal code libraries
  • Subject matter expert (SME) in multiple automation platforms (e.g., Rockwell, Siemens, Schneider, Ignition, Phoenix Contact, etc.)
  • Proven ability to architect and implement complex, multi-platform control systems across multiple sites
  • Strong knowledge of UL, NEC, ISA, and IEC standards; proficiency in process safety and functional safety systems
  • Proficiency with ERP/MES integration, cloud technologies (MQTT), and scripting (Python, C#, VBA)
  • Deep experience designing and securing OT networks to industry standards (IEC 62443)
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical thinking, with the ability to produce clear and accurate technical documentation.
  • Skilled in quality control, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration
Work Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering required; advanced certifications preferred (ISA CAP, PE License – Control Systems)
  • Minimum of 12,000 project hours logged, including system architecture and multi-site implementations (8+ years experience)
  • Prior experience developing and reviewing control narratives, P&IDs, and safety systems (SIS)
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers and contributing to a knowledge-sharing culture
  • Must possess a valid driver’s license and be willing to travel as needed
  • Drug-free workplace compliance required
