Deployment Engineer-Energy Management System

ON.energy is setting the standard for large load interconnection. ON’s patented AI UPS™ is a medium-voltage UPS that serves as a firewall, protecting the data center from the grid, and the grid from the data center. With multiple gigawatts currently under construction, we are enabling grid-safe data centers.

Location: Atlanta (remote) or Houston (hybrid) with up to 40% travel to project sites as needed.

Role Overview

The EMS Deployment Engineer is responsible for deploying, configuring, and supporting Ignition-based Energy Management Systems (EMS) for utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects. This role plays a critical part in commissioning, ensuring reliable system visibility, control, data flow, and integration between EMS, PLCs, PCS, BMS, and site networks.

Key Responsibilities

• Deploy, configure, and support Ignition-based EMS/SCADA platforms for BESS projects

• Support commissioning activities including EMS bring-up, system integration testing, SAT, and early operational support

• Configure Ignition gateways, tags, UDTs, alarms, historian, and visualization components

• Integrate EMS with Siemens PLCs, PCS, BMS, meters, protection relays, and site networks

• Support data acquisition, control workflows, and site-level dashboards for commissioning and operations

• Troubleshoot EMS, data, and communications issues under commissioning timelines

• Collaborate closely with Controls Engineers, Network Engineers, Deployment Engineers, and Field Commissioning teams

• Support FATs, site commissioning, and handover to Service and Operations teams

• Assist in developing standardized EMS templates, screen sets, tag models, and deployment procedures

• Review and validate EMS documentation, configurations, and as-built deliverables

• Travel to project sites during deployment and commissioning phases as required

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience deploying and supporting Ignition (Inductive Automation) in OT or industrial environments

• Experience configuring tags, UDTs, alarms, historians, and visualization in Ignition

• Experience integrating EMS/SCADA platforms with PLCs and field devices

• Strong understanding of OT systems and industrial communications

• Ability to troubleshoot across EMS, controls, and networking boundaries

• Comfortable working in fast-paced commissioning environments with evolving requirements

• Willingness to travel to project sites as required

• Direct, hands-on Ignition deployment experience is required.

• Ability to travel to project sites 30-40% as needed.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with utility-scale BESS, renewables, power generation, or substation environments

• Familiarity with Siemens PLCs and Modbus TCP / IEC 61850 (high-level understanding)

• Experience supporting commissioning teams on live sites

• Knowledge of OT cybersecurity fundamentals

• Experience working with EPCs, OEMs, and customer stakeholders

What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)

• Ignition-based EMS systems are deployed reliably across new BESS projects

• Commissioning timelines are supported through stable EMS visibility and control

• EMS-related issues are identified and resolved quickly during site bring-up

• EMS configurations become more standardized and repeatable across projects

• Field, commissioning, and service teams trust this role as the EMS authority
