The Field SCADA Engineer will be responsible for the deployment, commissioning, and validation of Ignition SCADA systems in data center environments, requiring extensive travel and hands-on support during implementation activities.

Responsibilities:

• Travel to client sites (50-60%) to support deployment and commissioning of Ignition SCADA systems for data center BMS and EPMS applications
• Execute point-to-point verification of SCADA graphics, data points, alarms, and control sequences to ensure accuracy and compliance with design specifications
• Conduct onsite testing and validation of Perspective projects, HMIs, and visualization systems during commissioning phases
• Support commissioning teams during system integration, functional testing, and performance verification activities
• Perform user acceptance testing (UAT) and interface validation to ensure SCADA systems meet client requirements and operational standards
• Verify proper functionality of graphics templates, custom components, interactive visualizations, and 3D floorplans in deployed environments
• Validate data integration between front-end interfaces and back-end systems (PLCs, databases, historians)
• Test alarm functionality, trend displays, and real-time data presentation across desktop, tablet, and mobile platforms
• Troubleshoot visualization issues, display errors, and user interface problems in live production settings
• Work directly with clients to demonstrate system functionality and provide hands-on training during turnover activities
• Assist clients with user acceptance processes and address questions or concerns during go-live phases
• Provide technical support and troubleshooting assistance during and after system deployment
• Coordinate with development teams to implement field-identified corrections or adjustments to SCADA packages
• Document commissioning activities, point verification results, and system configurations for project closeout
• Create punch lists and track resolution of field issues identified during deployment
• Provide feedback to development teams on field performance and user experience observations
• Maintain accurate records of as-built conditions and field modifications for client turnover packages

• Hands-on experience with point-to-point verification, commissioning, and validation of SCADA/BMS systems
• Strong understanding of Ignition Perspective interfaces, graphics, templates, and visualization components
• Experience working with PLCs, communication protocols, and data integration in operational environments
• Proven troubleshooting skills for resolving interface, data connectivity, and display issues in the field
• Ability to work independently onsite with minimal supervision during commissioning and turnover activities
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills for training, demonstrations, and issue resolution
• Strong attention to detail and systematic approach to testing and verification processes
• Willingness and ability to travel up to 50-60%, including potential for extended site assignments
• Valid driver's license and ability to travel domestically (and internationally as needed)
• Associate or Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field
