About the role
About Jeevy

Jeevy is building a new kind of industrial fabrication company designed to deliver mission-critical hardware faster and more reliably. We combine advanced fabrication capabilities with software, automation, and a growing network of specialized manufacturers to build complex systems for aerospace, energy, data centers, and other critical infrastructure.

We’re looking for a Senior DCS Engineer to own the electrical and controls systems behind these builds.

The Role

As a Senior DCS Engineer at Jeevy, you will lead the development, fabrication, testing, and installation of electrical and controls systems for Jeevy’s mission-critical fabrication projects.

You’ll work directly with mechanical engineers, fabricators, electricians, customers, and field teams to take controls requirements from concept through commissioning. Projects may include process skids, fluid systems, test equipment, ground-support systems, and other complex industrial assemblies.

This is a highly hands-on role. You won’t just produce drawings or write controls code—you’ll be expected to help build, troubleshoot, test, and deploy the systems you design.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead the electrical and controls planning, install, and testing for industrial fabrication projects

  • Interface directly with customers to understand controls requirements and resolve technical issues

  • Develop low- and medium-voltage electrical systems and PLC testing setups

  • Write installation and testing procedures for instrumentation, sensors, transmitters, control hardware and other electrical components

  • Develop and modify electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, I/O lists, panel layouts, cable schedules, and bills of material

  • Lead controls commissioning and troubleshooting during shop testing and field installation

  • Work closely with mechanical, piping, and fabrication teams to ensure electrical systems integrate cleanly into the overall assembly

  • Establish Jeevy standards for controls architecture, documentation, panel construction, testing, and commissioning

  • Mentor engineers and technicians as Jeevy expands its electrical and controls capabilities

What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience designing, commissioning, or maintaining industrial controls systems

  • Strong experience with PLC, DCS, instrumentation, and industrial electrical systems

  • Experience designing and troubleshooting control panels and remote I/O systems

  • Strong understanding of industrial instrumentation, including pressure, temperature, flow, level, and other process measurements

  • Experience with industrial communications and controls networks

  • Ability to read and create electrical schematics, P&IDs, loop diagrams, and wiring documentation

  • Experience with system checkout, FAT, commissioning, and field troubleshooting

  • Comfortable working directly with electrical technicians and fabricators on the shop floor

  • Strong troubleshooting instincts and an ability to work through ambiguous, real-world engineering problems

  • Ability to take ownership of a system from initial customer requirements through installation and commissioning

Nice to Have
  • Experience with Rockwell / Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Emerson, Honeywell, or similar controls platforms

  • Experience with medium-voltage equipment or power distribution

  • Experience with process skids, oil & gas, chemical processing, aerospace ground systems, energy infrastructure, or other highly engineered industrial equipment

  • Experience with hazardous-location electrical design and instrumentation

  • Familiarity with UL 508A, NFPA 70 / NEC, ISA standards, and industrial panel construction practices

  • Experience integrating VFDs, MCCs, valve actuators, analyzers, safety systems, and packaged equipment

  • Experience taking systems through customer FAT and final field commissioning

Who You Are

You’re an engineer who likes being close to the hardware.

You can move comfortably between a P&ID, an electrical schematic, a PLC program, and a control panel on the shop floor. When something doesn’t work during commissioning, your instinct is to grab a meter, open the drawings, and figure out why.

You enjoy having broad ownership, moving quickly, and building systems that ultimately have to work in the real world—not just on paper.

Why Jeevy

At Jeevy, you’ll have the opportunity to build the electrical and controls capability of a rapidly growing industrial company from the ground up.

You’ll work on real hardware for demanding customers, own projects from engineering through commissioning, and help establish the systems and standards that will eventually be deployed across Jeevy’s fabrication network.

If you want to build complex industrial systems rather than spend your career designing one small piece of them, we’d like to meet you.
