Deploys and configures standardized Ignition SCADA environments across industrial sites. Responsibilities include site configuration, PLC and equipment connectivity, tag and alarm configuration, communications troubleshooting, system testing, commissioning, documentation, and production readiness. The engineer collaborates with controls, OT, network, and architecture teams while adapting standardized templates and configurations to site-specific requirements.
Position Overview
MetroSys is seeking an experienced OT/SCADA Deployment Engineer to support a large-scale rollout of the Inductive Automation Ignition SCADA platform across multiple industrial locations.
The consultant will work closely with the client's OT and architecture teams to deploy a standardized Ignition environment using established architecture, templates, configurations, and a client-developed "gold image." This role will focus primarily on implementation, site configuration, equipment connectivity, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning rather than developing the overall platform architecture.
Prior hands-on Ignition experience is highly desirable but not required. Candidates with a strong background in SCADA, industrial controls, PLCs, industrial automation, and OT environments who can quickly learn the client's standardized Ignition deployment model will be considered.
Key Responsibilities- Deploy and configure standardized Ignition SCADA environments across multiple industrial sites.
- Install and configure Ignition components using client-provided architecture, templates, standards, and gold-image configurations.
- Configure site-specific SCADA settings and adapt standardized templates to individual plant requirements.
- Connect Ignition to PLCs, controllers, industrial equipment, databases, historians, and other OT systems.
- Configure and validate device connections, tags, communications, alarms, templates, and related SCADA components.
- Troubleshoot communication issues between SCADA servers, PLCs, field devices, networks, and other OT systems.
- Work with plant controls engineers, OT teams, network engineers, and centralized architecture resources during deployments.
- Perform system testing, validation, commissioning, and production-readiness activities prior to site turnover.
- Identify and resolve deployment issues while maintaining consistency with established global architecture standards.
- Document configurations, deployment procedures, site-specific changes, troubleshooting steps, and as-built environments.
- Provide feedback to the architecture team to improve deployment templates and repeatable rollout processes.
- Support multiple deployments as the program expands across additional locations globally.
- 3+ years of experience working with SCADA, industrial controls, OT systems, or industrial automation.
- Hands-on experience deploying, configuring, commissioning, or supporting SCADA/HMI environments.
- Experience connecting SCADA systems to PLCs, controllers, field devices, and industrial equipment.
- Understanding of industrial communication protocols such as OPC/OPC UA, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, MQTT, or similar technologies.
- Experience troubleshooting communications between field equipment, control systems, networks, and SCADA platforms.
- Understanding of industrial networking, IP addressing, switching, firewalls, and connectivity within OT environments.
- Ability to follow standardized architecture and deployment procedures while adapting configurations to individual sites.
- Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
- Ability to work independently while coordinating with centralized engineering and architecture teams.
- Experience with Inductive Automation Ignition.
- Ignition Core or Gold Certification.
- Experience with other SCADA/HMI platforms such as Rockwell FactoryTalk, AVEVA/Wonderware, Siemens WinCC, GE iFIX/CIMPLICITY, or similar technologies.
- Experience with Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, or other industrial PLC platforms.
- Experience deploying systems across multiple manufacturing or industrial locations.
- Experience with historians, SQL databases, industrial data collection, alarming, and visualization.
- Familiarity with OT cybersecurity and network segmentation best practices.
- Experience supporting large-scale or global industrial technology deployments.
