Industrial HMI Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Industrial HMI Engineer to design, develop, and maintain human-machine interface (HMI) systems for complex industrial and process automation environments. The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise in Rockwell Automation Factory Talk View SE
, Factory Talk Linx
, and integration with Compact Logix / Control Logix PLC platforms. This role bridges operations, controls engineering, and process visualization—ensuring safe, reliable, and intuitive system interfaces for operators and engineers.

• Design & Development

  • Architect and implement new HMI applications using Factory Talk View SE (distributed and standalone configurations).
  • Configure and optimize Factory Talk Linx
    , Factory Talk Directory
    , and RSLinx Enterprise communications.
  • Develop P&-based process screens, navigation structures, alarm banners, and trend displays.
  • Implement dynamic graphics, tag-based visibility, security-based user interfaces, and custom scripts.

• Integration & Commissioning

  • Align HMI systems with Rockwell Compact Logix and Control Logix PLCs via Ethernet /IP.
  • Coordinate with PLC programmers to map tags, alarms, and state/mode logic.
  • Support HMI deployment on operator workstations and thin clients (Terminal Services, VMWare, or Thin Manager environments).
  • Participate in site commissioning, FAT, and SAT testing of automation systems.

• Operations & Support

  • Troubleshoot live HMI issues, alarms, and communications between PLCs, servers, and clients.
  • Perform system upgrades, backup management, and version control within Factory Talk View SE.
  • Maintain documentation: tag lists, screen inventories, alarm configurations, and user manuals.
  • Ensure HMI systems meet ISA-101
    , ISA-18.2, and corporate HMI design standards for usability and safety.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with process engineers, I&E technicians, and safety teams to represent real-time plant data accurately.
  • Participate in safety system integration and interlock visualization.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering
  , Controls/Automation Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent technical discipline.

• 3–7 years of experience designing and deploying HMI/SCADA systems in an industrial setting.

• Proven expertise with:

  • Factory Talk View SE (Site Edition)
  • Factory Talk Linx /
    RSLinx Enterprise
  • Rockwell Compact Logix or Control Logix PLCs

• Experience with
  Ethernet /IP networks, data servers, and CIP tag addressing.

• Strong understanding of industrial processes (e.g., power generation, chemical, nuclear, or thermal systems).

• Familiarity with Windows Server environments
  , Active Directory
  , and industrial network segmentation.

• Knowledge of Factory Talk View ME
  , Panel View Plus
  , and Thin Manager
  .
• Experience with OPC-UA/DA
  , SQL data logging
  , or historian systems (Factory Talk Historian, OSIsoft PI).
• Experience following ISA-106 (Procedural Automation for Continuous Process Operations).
• Understanding of safety systems integration (SIL-rated loops, interlocks, trip displays).
• Strong scripting skills in VBA or structured text for custom HMI logic.
• Exposure to virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V) and redundant SCADA servers
  .

• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate cross-functionally with process, electrical, and safety teams.
• Comfortable working in high-reliability industrial environments with strict configuration control.

• Factory Talk View SE project file (.SE)
• HMI/PLC tag mapping spreadsheets
• Alarm and event summary documentation
• User interface mockups and ISA-101 compliance checklists
• Version control and deployment procedures
