About The Position
The Senior DeltaV Controls Engineer will lead the design, implementation, and project management of large-scale capital automation projects in the Life Sciences industry. The role requires expertise with Emerson DeltaV and the design and delivery of cGMP-compliant automation solutions, including managing complete project lifecycles and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve biopharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing processes. Responsibilities span DeltaV system architecture and control strategies, batch sequencing and recipe design, HMI development, electrical and instrumentation design, industrial networking, third-party equipment integration, computing infrastructure, and system licensing. The engineer will oversee projects from requirements gathering through commissioning and validation, and ensure compliance with GAMP5, cGMP, 21 CFR Part 11, and applicable industry practices. The role also provides technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and cross-disciplinary teams. This is a permanent, full-time, on-site position in Raleigh, North Carolina, with potential site travel of up to 25%. The work environment is an office desk or cubicle with frequent computer, engineering-tool, and industrial-control-system use. Occasional lifting, climbing, and work in production facilities during commissioning may be required. Work may include weekends, holidays, night shifts, and extended hours to meet deadlines and client requirements.
