About The Position

IS International Services LLC (IS) is seeking an elite Senior Automation Engineer with deep, authoritative knowledge of Moore APACS Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for a critical role focused heavily on their legacy instrumentation footprint. This position requires expertise in stabilizing, optimizing, and mapping out the lifecycle strategy for legacy architectures across regional manufacturing facilities. The role involves daily programming, modification, and troubleshooting of system code using APACS 4-mation software tools, maintaining and optimizing specialized APACS components, and supporting/upgrading associated HMI systems (Wonderware Process Suite). The engineer will also analyze existing APACS logic diagrams to resolve errors and plan for the eventual migration of APACS hardware to next-generation platforms while preserving existing field wiring.

Requirements

Minimum 5 to 7+ years of direct, verified experience configuring and troubleshooting Moore APACS DCS infrastructure.
Expert-level mastery of APACS 4-mation configuration software, logic compilers, and network builders.
Proven experience bridging legacy Moore hardware with newer industrial networks or modern PLCs (e.g., Allen-Bradley ControlLogix).
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Chemical, or Systems Engineering is preferred, though equivalent, extensive field experience with Moore APACS systems will be fully accepted in lieu of a formal degree.

Nice To Haves

Specialized skill set in Moore APACS Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
Experience with Siemens PCS 7.
Experience with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix.

Responsibilities

Serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert for all legacy Moore APACS hardware, control loops, and configuration issues.
Program, modify, and troubleshoot system code daily using APACS 4-mation software tools.
Maintain and optimize specialized APACS components, including Profibus PFM cards, industrial MODBUS setups, and legacy communication modules.
Support and upgrade associated HMI systems, specifically Wonderware Process Suite, ensuring seamless data flow between legacy control layers and operations.
Analyze existing APACS logic diagrams to resolve complex runtime errors, minimize operational downtime, and maximize loop efficiency.
Lead technical readiness assessments for the eventual migration of APACS hardware to next-generation platforms (e.g., Siemens PCS 7) while preserving existing field wiring.
