Product Manager - HMI & SCADA

About the role

At ON.energy, the Product Manager for HMI/SCADA owns the visual design, layout, and functional behavior of every operator-facing screen across our energy storage and power infrastructure platforms. This is a screen-first role - the primary deliverable is a SCADA interface that operators trust, understand, and can act on instantly. The ideal candidate brings deep, hands-on experience with Ignition and its Perspective module, a sharp eye for information design in high-stakes environments, and the communication skills to gather requirements from field operators and translate them into polished, production-ready screens.

Responsibilities

• Screen Design & Visual Execution
• Own the end-to-end design of all Ignition Perspective screens - from concept and wireframe through final implementation and deployment.
• Design clear, accurate, and visually consistent layouts for system overviews, single-line diagrams, real-time dashboards, alarm views, trending panels, and reporting screens.
• Develop and maintain a unified component library, color system, icon set, and layout grid for all SCADA interfaces across ON.energy projects.
• Define and enforce visual and interaction standards so that every screen - regardless of project - looks and behaves like ON.energy product.
• Ensure screens are optimized for the full range of operator environments: control room monitors, field tablets, and mobile displays.
• Functionality & Operator Experience
• Define the functional behavior of each screen: what data is shown, how it updates, what actions operators can take, and how alarms and alerts are surfaced.
• Design navigation structures, screen hierarchies, and interaction flows that minimize operator cognitive load during normal and abnormal conditions.
• Conduct usability reviews and structured feedback sessions to identify friction, confusion, or gaps in operator workflows.
• Continuously improve screens based on operator behavior, alarm frequency data, support tickets, and field observations.
• Ensure all screens adhere to human factors best practices and relevant standards for control room design.
• Internal & External Customer Communication
• Serve as the primary point of contact for all HMI/SCADA screen requirements - gathering inputs from field operators, site managers, project managers, and client stakeholders.
• Lead structured requirement-gathering sessions, screen walkthroughs, and design reviews with both internal teams and external clients.
• Communicate clearly with controls engineers and developers to ensure screens are built accurately to specification.
• Present screen designs, prototypes, and release updates to internal and external clients - collecting feedback and managing change requests.
• Produce clear documentation for each screen: layout specs, tag mappings, interaction descriptions, and acceptance criteria.
• Train operators and client teams on new screen features and interface changes during commissioning and project handover.
• Roadmap & Prioritization
• Maintain and prioritize a backlog of screen improvements, new views, and component enhancements across all active and upcoming projects.
• Balance project-specific client requirements against the development of reusable, scalable screen templates that benefit the entire ON.energy platform.
• Work with project managers to align screen deliverables with project schedules and commissioning milestones.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Product Design, or a related field - or equivalent professional experience.
• Hands-on, production experience with Inductive Automation Ignition - including project configuration, tag management, alarm pipelines, and system integration.
• Demonstrated experience building and delivering Perspective module screens - components, bindings, scripting, styling, and responsive layout across device types. Portfolio or examples of Perspective work strongly preferred.
• Deep understanding of industrial HMI design principles: information hierarchy, alarm visualization, color coding for process states, situational awareness, and operator-centered layout. Experience in energy storage, renewables, or power infrastructure strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to gather requirements from and present deliverables to both internal teams (engineers, PMs, field t
