OT Systems Engineer

Role Summary:

• The OT Systems Engineer is responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting operational technology (OT) networks for utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects.
• This role is critical to successful commissioning and system handover, ensuring reliable communications between control systems, EMS, PCS, BMS, SCADA, and remote monitoring platforms.
• This is a field-facing, deployment-oriented role focused on bringing new projects online.

Key Responsibilities:

• Deploy and configure OT network infrastructure for BESS projects, including switches, routers, firewalls, cellular devices, and site communications equipment.
• Support commissioning activities by ensuring reliable connectivity between EMS, PCS, BMS, protection relays, meters, and SCADA systems.
• Configure network segmentation, VLANs, routing, and secure remote access appropriate for OT environments.

Required Experience & Skills:

• Experience deploying OT or industrial networks in the field (power, renewables, utilities, manufacturing, oil & gas, or similar).
• Strong understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals in operational environments.
• Hands-on experience with industrial networking equipment (switches, routers, firewalls) and familiarity with SCADA, PLCs, HMIs, EMS, or industrial control systems.

What Success Looks Like:

• New BESS sites are brought online with stable, secure network connectivity.
• Commissioning timelines are supported, not delayed, by network readiness.
• Network issues are resolved quickly and collaboratively during deployment, and site documentation improves over time.
