SCADA & Controls Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a SCADA & Controls Engineer to join our team at Fortress Power. You’ll design and maintain SCADA solutions for advanced Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), combining Node-RED and JavaScript development with industrial controls knowledge. The role also involves working with Docker and Linux environments to deploy and support our applications.

This is a hands-on position where you’ll work with real devices such as DER assets, protection relays, and smart meters, developing flows that turn raw telemetry into actionable insights, alarms, and control logic.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain Node-RED flows for telemetry, alarms, and controls.
• Parse DER data using Modbus TCP and REST APIs, applying scaling factors and decoding bitfields.
• Implement and support control logic for DER integration, including startup, shutdown, and fault handling.
• Work with protection relays such as SEL 351, SEL 751, SEL 851, and SEL 700G.
• Integrate smart meters such as eGauge into SCADA data pipelines.
• Deploy and manage SCADA applications using Docker in Linux environments.
• Support system commissioning, troubleshooting, and updates in the field.
• Create simple dashboards for operators to monitor DER status, KPIs, and alarms.
