Automation & Controls Engineer

Our technology is deployed in real-world field environments, helping utilities and infrastructure partners improve safety, reduce risk, and accelerate the delivery of critical energy infrastructure.

Why work for Infravision

• Mission-driven impact. Help modernize critical energy infrastructure and contribute to safer, more efficient grid construction.
• Competitive rewards. Competitive salary and benefits aligned to experience, technical capability, and the Austin-area engineering market.
• Hands-on innovation. Work in a collaborative environment where controls, software, hardware, aviation, and field operations come together in deployed systems.

What you’ll do

• PLC & Controls Development. Design, program, test, and maintain PLC-based industrial control systems using IEC 61131-3 languages, including Ladder Diagram, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, and related control methods.
• HMI & SCADA. Develop and configure HMI and SCADA applications, including operator displays, alarms, trends, data logging, diagnostics, user access, and integration with PLCs, databases, gateways, and enterprise systems.
• Electrical & Control System Design. Develop or review control-panel layouts, electrical schematics, I/O and loop drawings, network drawings, cable schedules, instrumentation documentation, and bills of materials; support component selection and panel build/test activities.
• Industrial Networking. Configure and troubleshoot industrial communications using technologies such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, CAN/CANbus, EtherCAT, MQTT, serial communications, TCP/IP, VLANs, routing, and network segmentation.
• Software & Systems Integration. Build scripts, utilities, and interfaces using technologies such as Python, C/C++, C#, SQL, PowerShell/Bash, JSON/XML, REST APIs, messaging systems, and databases to connect controls with external applications and services.
• Edge, IoT & Cloud Integration. Integrate PLCs, sensors, RTUs, gateways, and industrial computers with edge and cloud architectures, including telemetry, data processing, remote diagnostics, local web applications, and store-and-forward solutions for intermittent connectivity.
• OT Cybersecurity. Apply practical industrial cybersecurity principles, including segmentation, firewall and access-control configuration, secure remote access, credential/certificate management, backups, version control, logging, and separation of control functions from less-trusted networks.
• Testing, Commissioning & Troubleshooting. Develop and execute unit, I/O, integration, FAT/SAT, communications, failure-mode, alarm/interlock, performance, and regression testing; commission systems in the field and perform root-cause troubleshooting across hardware, software, networking, and instrumentation.
• Documentation & Change Control. Create and maintain functional and software design specifications, architectures, I/O lists, PLC/HMI documentation, interface-control documents, test and commissioning procedures, troubleshooting guides, release notes, and as-built records through formal engineering change control.

What we are looking for

• Education. Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Controls Experience. Approximately 3+ years of professional experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, systems integration, or a related discipline, with demonstrated PLC programming experience.
• PLC / HMI / SCADA. Hands-on experience with common industrial PLC platforms and HMI/SCADA systems.
