Process Instrumentation & Controls / Automation Engineer

The Opportunity

As a mid-level Automation Engineer at SSOE, you will bridge the gap between traditional industrial systems and the future of AI-driven design. You will lead the creation of complex control systems, from initial P&ID development to full-scale PLC and HMI programming. This isn't just about manual wiring diagrams; it is about overseeing the technical lifecycle of high-visibility automation projects for a diverse client base while working in a collaborative, multi-discipline environment.

Modern Tech & Vibe Coding

SSOE is a pioneer in the vibe coding movement within the industrial sector. In this role, you will:

• Use Large Language Models (LLMs) and dedicated automation tools to accelerate PLC logic and HMI interface development.
• Leverage AI to streamline AutoCAD and MicroStation workflows, focusing on high-level architecture rather than repetitive drafting.
• Apply natural language prompts to solve complex instrumentation challenges and maintain technical assurance across loop diagrams and control panel designs.

Why Join the Team?

Beyond the technical stack, you are joining an environment that values rapid innovation and technological agility. You will receive dedicated training to ensure AI becomes a core part of your creative process, helping you deliver projects faster and more accurately. If you have five years of experience in chemical or manufacturing design and want to lead the charge in AI-assisted automation, this is your next step. The role offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and a culture that rewards those who stay ahead of the technology curve.
