Build the onboard control systems behind unforgettable guest experiences. As an Onboard Systems Industrial Controls Engineer at Holovis, you’ll deliver safe, reliable onboard equipment systems for theme park ride vehicles, powering audio, lighting and interactivity. Have experience integrating industrial control systems in automation/mobile/harsh environments Can take a system from concept to implementation, understanding requirements, architecture and build-ready detail focusing on safety, reliability and maintainability Are delivery-focused: comfortable with PLC programming and configuration, on-site fault-finding and supporting install, commissioning and SAT Industrial controls and automation engineering backgrounds with a strong integration mindset, such as automotive, aerospace, rail, defence, marine, material handling, and other safety-critical or harsh-environment platforms. We’re looking for someone with key engineering and practical delivery experience who can: Deliver end-to-end controls and system expertise all the way to commissioning and handover Electrical engineering fundamentals for high-power, safety-critical systems including component selection, protection and architecture choices Working knowledge of PLC-based control integration, diagnostics and industrial communications How core engineering systems intersect with onboard audio, lighting and interactivity across multiple vendors and systems Holovis documentation standards and HPMS workflows (from schematic to installation packs and handover) and client standards and specifications Own onboard control requirements, architecture through to construction design and deliver clear build, installation and service documentation Define onboard controls specifications (power distribution, battery/supercapacitor energy storage, wayside charging, protection, earthing/bonding) and manage multi-vendor interfaces (signals, networks and responsibilities) to integrate with ride control and other attraction control systems Testing, verification & validation ~ Create and drive test plans for safety functions, client, and power/charging performance through FAT/SAT and vehicle integration test Able to travel to client sites and our offices globally We value experienced problem-solving and engineering discipline, especially when working across international teams, suppliers and client stakeholders. We work at the intersection of engineering, technology and story, building complex solutions that must perform 365 days a year for thousands of guests per hour, in real world conditions. We’re a team of engineers, technologists and delivery professionals who take pride in building systems that work reliably because we put testing and preparedness first and we work collaboratively with partners and clients to do it well. Apply now and share an example where you worked on an industrial controls system project end-to-end, covering safety requirements, key interfaces, and integration testing through to handover.
