Failsafe Controls is a systems integration and automation firm specializing in industrial control systems for oil & gas, LNG, and energy infrastructure. We design, modernize, and support PLC, RTU, HMI, and SCADA systems across diverse vendor platforms and field environments.

From legacy system migrations to full platform deployments, our work focuses on reliability, performance, and long-term maintainability. Headquartered in New Iberia, Louisiana, we support facilities across the Gulf Coast and beyond, delivering practical, field-proven automation solutions.

We value technical excellence, ownership, and real-world problem solving.

This is a full-time, on-site position located in New Iberia, LA, with travel to project sites as required.

The Systems Integrator will be responsible for designing, programming, commissioning, and supporting industrial control systems across multiple PLC, RTU, and HMI/SCADA platforms. This role requires hands‑on engineering in both office and field environments.

• Strong troubleshooting skills within complex industrial control systems
• Experience with multiple HMI/SCADA platforms (Ignition, Factory Talk, Wonderware, Cimplicity, VTScada, or similar)
• Systems engineering experience in automation design and implementation
• Knowledge of industrial networking (managed switches, VLANs, firewalls, serial communications)
• Familiarity with field instrumentation and industrial protocols
• Ability to read P&IDs, electrical schematics, and loop drawings
• Strong problem‑solving and communication skills
• Willingness to travel (20–40%)
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field preferred (experience may substitute)

• Five years or more within Oil & Gas or Energy facilities
