Project Engineer (SCADA/Software)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 16, 2026. First seen by Alion on Aug 31, 2026.
Description
The CLX Engineering Opportunity
If you like solving technical problems, working with hardware and systems, and seeing a project come to life in the field, this role may be a strong fit. Our Software Project Engineers work in the office and at customer sites to configure, install, test, troubleshoot, document, and support real-world industrial systems.
You will need to do more than review technical information. You must be able to analyze, review, and interpret specifications, schematics, CAD drawings, reports, and system results, then use that information to make sound project decisions and complete the work accurately.
Why This Role Is Different
You will not spend every day behind a desk, and you will not be hired to write software code. You will help turn project requirements into working systems. The best fit is someone who enjoys learning, communicating, installing, testing, troubleshooting, and taking ownership from the office through the field.
