Description
Remote Automation Engineer (Electrical)
Power the Future of Automation—Anywhere
Curiosity sparks innovation. That’s the spirit fueling our remote automation team, where electrical engineering talent drives fundamental transformation across industries, across borders, and straight from your workspace. Here, you won’t just manage automated systems; you’ll advance what’s possible, working with a company that delivered 99.99% system uptime across over 250 global projects last year alone. With an annual salary of $48,500, your skills will be part of something measurable—empowering data-driven solutions, leveraging next-generation technologies, and unlocking new efficiencies for clients worldwide.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Take ownership of automation projects that matter—from designing remote PLC control systems to integrating industrial IoT devices for real-time monitoring. Your work will optimize energy use, enhance reliability, and minimize downtime. Every project you touch will ripple outward: in 2024, our engineers helped save over 120,000 production hours for our partners.
- Architect and program PLC, SCADA, and HMI platforms for distributed energy and manufacturing systems
- Develop and deploy remote diagnostics, troubleshooting, and predictive maintenance routines using Python, MATLAB, and cloud-based analytics tools
- Oversee system integration with ERP and MES solutions, ensuring seamless data flow and actionable insights
- Automate report generation for operational metrics, using advanced scripting and dashboard frameworks
- Support cross-functional teams in rolling out new digital infrastructure—securely and at scale
The Tools and Tech That Define Us
Get hands-on with today’s most sought-after platforms and protocols:
- Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Schneider Electric (PLC/SCADA/HMI platforms)
- MQTT, Modbus TCP/IP, and OPC-UA for industrial communications
- Python and Node-RED for custom automation scripts and rapid prototyping
- Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core for scalable device management
- Grafana and Power BI for building intuitive, actionable dashboards
Your workflow will be fully cloud-integrated, enabling real-time remote diagnostics and intelligent control, regardless of your location. In 2024, our distributed team launched over 15 zero-touch deployments, achieving 98% client satisfaction.
Your Daily Workflow: Where Data Meets Innovation
You’ll collaborate in a transparent, agile environment that’s always a step ahead. On a typical day, you might:
- Analyze telemetry and sensor data to fine-tune process automation
- Write and test scripts that trigger alerts or automatic adjustments
- Track KPIs—system uptime, energy consumption, and throughput—to demonstrate ROI
- Lead virtual troubleshooting sessions, helping global teams tackle urgent issues in real time
Last year, our automation engineers contributed over 600 suggestions to our continuous improvement hub, directly shaping how we solve problems.
The Work Environment: Remote, Agile, Empowering
Forget the old model. Our approach is built for the digital age. You’ll work remotely, supported by collaborative project boards, asynchronous communication tools, and live video stand-ups. Whether you’re dialing in from Mumbai, Madrid, or Minneapolis, your ideas count. Ninety-three percent of our engineers say that the flexibility here has directly improved their work-life balance, and 87% report stronger professional growth due to our mentorship initiatives.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or a similar discipline
- 2+ years of experience working with automation controls, remote SCADA management, or distributed energy systems
- Solid background in programming PLCs and developing custom logic for HMI
- Familiarity with IoT integration, industrial protocols, and cloud-based device management
- Experience in Python scripting, data visualization, or machine learning is a plus
- Excellent communication skills—mainly when translating technical details for non-technical audiences
- Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on high-impact projects
Unlock Your Growth—Join a Team that Leads
We don’t just keep up with the pace of change—we set it. You’ll have access to:
- Paid certifications for Siemens and AWS IoT technologies
- Online courses in machine learning, cybersecurity, and advanced analytics
- Quarterly hackathons and peer-led workshops
- Opportunities to publish your innovations in leading automation journals
Our engineers routinely step into leadership roles, taking charge of high-stakes initiatives and guiding others to breakthrough results. One in four team members earned a promotion or special project assignment last year.
