• Engage directly with customers to understand problems, validate opportunities, and shape future offerings.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives spanning software, firmware, hardware, systems, cybersecurity, networking, and cloud technologies.
• Build alignment across globally distributed teams and drive issues to resolution.
• Challenge requirements, estimates, architectures, and plans to improve outcomes.
• Develop business cases and investment recommendations based on customer value, strategic alignment, technical risk, and business impact.
• Partner with engineering leaders and architects to guide platform evolution and modernization.
• Present recommendations and product strategy to customers, senior leadership, and industry audiences.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Significant experience in process automation, distributed control systems, industrial software, embedded systems, instrumentation, or control engineering.
• Demonstrated technical leadership experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives.
• Proven ability to influence technical and business decisions without direct authority.
• Strong understanding of software, firmware, hardware, networking, cybersecurity, and systems architecture concepts.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills.
  
  

Strongly Preferred

• Experience with Foxboro DCS, EcoStruxure Automation Expert, DeltaV, Honeywell Experion, ABB 800xA, Yokogawa CENTUM, Siemens PCS, or similar DCS platforms.
• Experience in continuous process industries such as oil and gas, refining, chemicals, power generation, mining, or pulp and paper.
• Background in instrumentation, process control, control strategy design, and plant operations.
• Software and/or firmware development experience.
• Experience delivering industrial hardware products.
• Experience as a Lead Engineer, System Architect, Technical Lead, Automation Consultant, or Technical Product Manager.
  
  

Who Will Succeed In This Role

The ideal candidate:

• Takes ownership of difficult problems and drives them through resolution.
• Thinks like an investor, treating engineering capacity as a limited resource.
• Balances customer value, strategic importance, technical risk, and execution cost.
• Is comfortable respectfully challenging assumptions and recommendations at any organizational level.
• Earns credibility with software, firmware, hardware, systems, and cybersecurity teams.
• Can confidently engage with customers, engineers, architects, Directors, and Vice Presidents.
• Drives alignment quickly in ambiguous situations and across organizational boundaries.
• Looks for platform leverage and reusable solutions rather than one-off implementations.
