OT Automation Engineer - PLCs and SCADA - Industrial Automation

Can you imagine leading the backbone of smart production and energy transparency? ⚙️🌱

Join our expert team to work on a modern industrial automation platform, contributing to the development of scalable and standardized OT solutions.
You will apply your knowledge of automation architectures, IT/OT integration, and energy data platforms to enable reliable production and sustainable decision-making.

At ERNI, you are never just a number. Even if you work on an external project, you will feel part of the team and always supported.

How do we make this happen? 🤔

With people. Besides your team and manager, you will have several support figures like a godparent, who will help you with the practical and administrative aspects of daily life during your first 6 months.

And the second most important person after you, your mentor, who will guide you through your entire onboarding and career at ERNI. You will have regular 1:1 meetings with them, and recurrently, you will work on your development plan to define your short-, medium-, and long-term goals.

At ERNI, we highly value experience and technical knowledge. As a senior profile, you will have the space to continue growing, whether by deepening your technical skills or having greater influence on project decisions, with autonomy and the opportunity to share knowledge with other experts.
And if you are interested in mentoring, there is also space for that: supporting other ERNIans while still focusing on the technical excellence that sets us apart.

What you will bring 🤝
• Degree in Automation, Electrical or Systems Engineering.
• More than 10 years of experience in industrial automation environments.
• Strong knowledge of automation architectures and IT/OT integration.
• Experience in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical, biotech or food, will be a plus.
• Technical leadership mindset with high ownership for quality and compliance.

• Advanced level of English.

You will be responsible for designing and standardizing the automation platform while continuously improving workflows and engineering efficiency. Defining and governing SDC data models, KPIs and visualization principles. Leading Enerchart integration for energy analysis and sustainability reporting. Reviewing PLC and SCADA concepts, performing risk assessments and acting as technical authority for production automation, operational transparency and OT cybersecurity alignment.

What if the project ends?😅

We work on a wide variety of projects, technologies, and sectors, allowing you to keep growing in different environments. If a project ends or you feel ready for a new challenge, we will find another one that aligns with your professional development.
