SCADA & Controls Engineer

About the Role We are seeking a SCADA & Controls Engineer to join our team at Fortress Power. You’ll design and maintain SCADA solutions for advanced Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), combining Node-RED and JavaScript development with industrial controls knowledge. The role also involves working with Docker and Linux environments to deploy and support our applications. This is a hands-on position where you’ll work with real devices such as DER assets, protection relays, and smart meters, developing flows that turn raw telemetry into actionable insights, alarms, and control logic. What You’ll Do Build and maintain Node-RED flows for telemetry, alarms, and controls. Parse DER data using Modbus TCP and REST APIs, applying scaling factors and decoding bitfields. Implement and support control logic for DER integration, including startup, shutdown, and fault handling. Work with protection relays such as SEL 351, SEL 751, SEL 851, and SEL 700G. Integrate smart meters such as eGauge into SCADA data pipelines. Deploy and manage SCADA applications using Docker in Linux environments. Support system commissioning, troubleshooting, and updates in the field. Create simple dashboards for operators to monitor DER status, KPIs, and alarms. What We’re Looking For Strong JavaScript skills, especially for data parsing and logic in Node-RED. Experience working with Node-RED (flows, function nodes, subflows, JSONata). Understanding of Modbus TCP/IP and basic REST API integrations. Familiarity with Docker and comfort working in a Linux environment. Experience with protection relays (SEL 351, 751, 851, 700G) and smart meters (eGauge). Ability to troubleshoot both software and controls issues in real time. Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate across disciplines. Nice to Have Work experience with DER systems (solar, storage, microgrids). Familiarity with SCADA/HMI platforms (Ignition, Sepasoft, etc.). Exposure to MQTT, OPC UA, or container orchestration (Docker Compose/Kubernetes). Knowledge of Git and CI/CD workflows. Why Join Us? • Work on cutting-edge DER and energy storage projects that support the clean energy transition. • Use modern tools like Node-RED, Docker, and Linux in real-world SCADA applications. • Be part of an inclusive, collaborative team where your ideas matter. • Competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for growth.
