  • Strong understanding of industrial communication protocols (EtherNet / IP, Modbus, OPC-UA)
  • Familiarity with integrating sensors, actuators, and instrumentation into automated systems
  • Experience with safety system design and risk mitigation (SIL ratings, interlocks, e-stops, etc.)
  • Ability to lead control system development projects from concept through commissioning
  • Willingness to work on-site at both Burlington and Exeter locations as needed
  • Passion for sustainability, automation, and building the foundational infrastructure for a cleaner future
  • We offer a competitive compensation package that is based on expertise. We also offer the following benefits :
