Automation Engineer II
New Yesterday
The AIC Engineer II works closely with more experienced engineers and assists in the development of drawings, documents and other deliverables to develop automation systems to support manufacturing processes, equipment, critical systems and facility infrastructure. This individual is expected to execute work on one or more intermediate-level tasks simultaneously as delegated by the Lead and/or Sr. Engineer. This individual may also delegate some basic and fundamental tasks to Entry-Level and Design staff. They are developing and expanding their ability to coordinate effectively with other disciplines, delegate, interact with clients, and manage scopes of work and drawings, and other deliverables. This role will have the ability to successfully execute and lead (on small projects) all phases of design including initial programming, planning, feasibility, scope and concept development, detailed design, construction documentation, and construction administration or hold primary responsibility for one or more of them on a large project. The Individual will expand their knowledge and skill sets to include design and specifications of more complex control systems, using multiple controllers and expanded workstations and server infrastructure.
Core Activities
Works under the direction and guidance of a more experienced Engineer to execute design responsibilities.
Designs automation systems of basic complexity in conformance with code requirements and in coordination with other design disciplines.
Works closely with other architects, engineers and designers, as well as other internal and external team members to ensure a coordinated, constructible and complete design.
Performs sizing calculations for control elements, instrumentation/device selections and other engineering calculations of basic complexity as required to confirm project requirements are met.
Develops automation systems documentation in the form of narratives, reports, drawings and diagrams to be used for construction of basic complexity.
Utilizes various platforms to execute work, such as Microsoft Office products, available BIM software and instrumentation and automation vendor platforms.
Attends professional development activities.
Conducts basic field investigations to integrate the design with existing systems and structures.
May work on one or more projects simultaneously as directed by a Supervisor.
