The company supplies and operates hyperscale power systems that solve the toughest resilience challenges, delivering custom solutions for AI data centers, mission-critical facilities, and front-of-the-meter assets. ON recently announced a 5GW partnership, with 3GW currently under construction across multiple hyperscale data center campuses. With patented technology and proprietary software, ON.energy develops projects worldwide that set new benchmarks for resilience. 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 #LI-JW1
