About the Role
An Automation Engineer Intern supports the development, design, and implementation of industrial control systems for building automation projects. This role provides practical experience in control system design, HMI/SCADA development, PLC/DDC programming, and field commissioning, while learning company standards and software integration on a client project.
Responsibilities
- Assist with product selection for common automation systems and applications and support generation of accurate control system drawings.
- Instantiate graphics and configure HMI/SCADA screens in alignment with company standards.
- Support basic PLC and DDC programming tasks such as tag configuration and control logic using standard templates, reusable code libraries, or custom code.
- Assist with testing, device verification, and troubleshooting during bench testing, Factory Acceptance Testing, and site startup activities. Travel to client locations may be possible.
- Assist with development of accurate project documentation, including IO lists, Sequence of Operations, Functional Specifications, test protocols, and redline markups.
- Follow all office and site safety procedures and participate in mandatory safety training (e.g., OSHA-10).
- Ensure all document and code deliverables meet established quality standards for right-first-time accuracy and on-time delivery.
Requirements
- 0–1 years of experience in industrial automation, instrumentation and controls, PLC/DDC programming, or a related industrial engineering field.
- Familiarity with PLC/DDC and HMI configuration, industrial networking, and/or HVAC systems is a plus.
- Familiarity with construction site environments and field devices (instrumentation, valves, drives) is a plus.
Skills
- Basic understanding of HVAC and building automation systems (BAS).
- Ability to read electrical schematics, P&IDs, control system documentation, and network architecture drawings.
- Basic experience with HMI and SCADA platforms (e.g., Rockwell, Ignition, Wonderware) and the ability to instantiate standard graphics, alarms, and trends.
- Basic understanding of PLC platforms (e.g. Allen-Bradley, Siemens) and at least one industrial automation programming language, such as Ladder Logic.
- Basic understanding of industrial protocols (Modbus, BACnet, Ethernet/IP) and OT network design.
- Familiarity with troubleshooting techniques and tools such as simulators and multimeters for software testing and point-to-point device verification.
- A strong eagerness to learn new technologies and adapt to evolving engineering standards.
- A solution-oriented mindset with the ability to perform strategic debugging and know when to escalate issues.
- High commitment to accuracy in technical drawings, naming conventions, and project documentation.
- Ability to provide concise status updates and define technical challenges to project leads and team members.
- Ability to collaborate effectively within multi-disciplinary teams.
Experience Level
- 0-1 years
Education Level
- Bachelor’s degree (preferred) or Associate degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Chemical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Trade school certificates or equivalent technical training combined with relevant experience may also be considered.
