About ATS Global

ATS Global is the Independent Solution Provider for Smart Digital Transformation. We provide products, solutions and services across all levels of the automation pyramid: control, execution and information.

In the APAC region, ATS Global operates through subsidiaries in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and China, with partners in Indonesia and Japan. ATS Global delivers consulting, execution and support services across a wide range of industries including food and beverage, data centres, chemicals, mining, port infrastructure, automotive, and aerospace and defence.

The Australian subsidiary of ATS Global, and employer for this role, is ATS Applied Tech Systems Pty Ltd, based in Mulgrave, Victoria.

Role Overview

The Electronics Engineer (SCADA & Control Systems) is responsible for the design, development, integration, testing and commissioning of electronic monitoring and supervisory control systems for industrial and critical infrastructure environments, with a particular focus on data centre and process industry applications.

The role requires applying electronics engineering principles to the specification, configuration and integration of electronic instrumentation, programmable controllers, communication networks and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms.

The engineer designs electronic system architectures that interface diverse electronic equipment – including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), building management systems (BMS), electrical power monitoring systems (EPMS), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), automatic transfer switches (ATS), variable frequency drives (VFDs), electronic switchgear, chillers,



and environmental monitoring sensors — into unified SCADA and PLC solutions.

This is a hands‑on technical role encompassing the full project lifecycle from requirements analysis and functional design through factory acceptance testing, site installation, commissioning, client training and post-deployment support.

Because ATS Global operates internationally and relies on cooperative teamwork across borders, candidates must speak a language that enables them to communicate effectively with at least one of our teams in Mexico, Spain, Italy, Germany, or Turkey.

Key Responsibilities

Electronic System Design and Integration

- Design electronic control system architectures for PLC, SCADA and monitoring solutions, specifying hardware, communication interfaces and network topologies.
- Develop functional design specifications (FDS) for electronic monitoring and control systems based on client user requirements specifications (URS) and process descriptions.
- Specify and select electronic instrumentation, sensors, I/O modules and communication gateways for integration with automation platforms.
- Design and implement industrial communication networks utilising protocols including Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, SNMP, and MQTT for the interconnection of electronic equipment.




- Develop electronic system interface designs for the integration of diverse electronic equipment including PLCs (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Johnson Controls), UPS systems, electronic switchgear, ATS units, HVAC controllers, and chiller plant controllers.

SCADA Platform Development and Configuration

- Develop and configure SCADA applications on the Inductive Automation Ignition platform (Vision and Perspective modules) for real‑time monitoring and control of electronic equipment and systems.
- Design and implement real‑time data visualisation dashboards, alarm management systems, historical data trending and reporting functions.
- Develop scripting logic and database queries (Python, SQL) to support SCADA application performance, automated reporting and data analytics.
- Implement user and role‑based access management, alarm notification pipelines and system redundancy configurations.

Testing, Commissioning and Support

- Prepare and execute factory acceptance test (FAT) plans and site acceptance test (SAT) plans for electronic control systems.
- Commission electronic monitoring and control systems on client sites, including point‑to‑point verification of electronic instrumentation, communication link testing, and functional validation.
- Troubleshoot and resolve electronic system integration issues during commissioning and post‑deployment.
- Provide post‑deployment support for installed electronic monitoring and control systems to ensure ongoing operational reliability.

Documentation and Training

- Produce quality technical documentation including functional design specifications, test plans, commissioning records, as‑built documentation, and operation and maintenance manuals.
- Develop and
