Position Responsibilities

• Support investigation and root cause analysis of control system faults, abnormal operating conditions, and alarm events
• Assist with sustainment of industrial control systems
• Analyze large time‑series data sets (alarms, events, operational signals) to identify trends, correlations, and failure precursors
• Evaluate alarm performance and support alarm rationalization efforts
• Apply statistical analysis and pattern recognition techniques to detect anomalies in system behavior
• Develop basic predictive or trend‑based models to anticipate performance degradation or control issues
• Create scripts or tools to automate data processing, visualization, and reporting

What You'll Gain

• Hands on experience with production scale control systems
• Exposure to real operational data and sustainment challenges in industrial environments

Minimum Qualifications

• Currently a student earning a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering or a related Engineering discipline.
