Build the skills for this role
Prioritize PLC/DCS programming, industrial networking, PID and advanced control, safety/functional standards, and commissioning. Build depth in Emerson or peer platforms used on automation projects; strengthen systems thinking, documentation, and stakeholder communication. No specific cert resources were supplied in DATA.
Be ready to walk through a controls project end-to-end: requirements, architecture, I/O and interlocks, testing, and troubleshooting. Expect questions on PLC/DCS design, loops and alarms, change management, and how you de-risk new-generation or first-of-kind systems. Prepare concise STAR stories on cross-team delivery and field issues.
Strong fit if you enjoy industrial automation hardware/software, project delivery, and Emerson-scale process customers. On-site in Cranberry Township (not remote). Ideal for engineers who want new-generation controls work rather than pure maintenance or pure software product roles.
