As the SCADA/HMI Platform Engineer you will technically lead the selection of the SCADA, historian, and visualization stack - then own the selected platform end to end - for a massive 1 million square foot manufacturing facility expansion. You will author platform-neutral standards (tag/UDT structures, alarm philosophy, HMI style guide) ahead of the platform decision, design the supervisory architecture across a redundant server core and distributed plant network, and hold acceptance authority over every OEM- and integrator-delivered display. This is a high-impact, high-ownership architecture role. 

This role begins in Durham, NC and is expected to move to Benson, NC upon completion of new facility.
