Job Description
Job Description
You'll join the Platforms Engineering team that builds the shared AI capabilities behind Rockwell's software portfolio, including FactoryTalk Design Studio, FTOptix, and Studio 5000 Logix Designer. You'll build the services, SDKs, and tool interfaces that let product teams ship assistants, content generation, and diagnostics into software that customers run in production. You'll do it in an AI-first engineering environment: coding agents running inside a harness we own, evals gating AI-generated changes, GitHub Copilot Enterprise and Claude in the daily loop, and MCP-based tooling that lets agents reach real build, test, and telemetry systems under human-in-the-loop review.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and build platform services, SDKs, and APIs that product teams use to embed AI capabilities in FactoryTalk Design Studio, FTOptix, and Logix Designer.
- Build and maintain MCP servers and tool interfaces that give agents governed access to product, build, and test systems.
- Develop evaluation suites and regression gates that measure AI feature quality, safety, latency, and cost before release.
- Own subsystem design through implementation, test, and production operation, including observability and performance budgets.
- Work with product teams, architects, and security to apply OT/ICS constraints such as IP protection, binary signing, and data boundaries to every AI feature.
- Prototype and evaluate new models and agent patterns, and turn the ones that work into supported platform capabilities.
- Improve the team's own AI-assisted development loop and share what works across engineering teams.
The Essentials - You Will Have:
- Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Years of Relevant Work Experience
The Preferred - You might also have:
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Typically requires a minimum of 8 years of experience in software product development environment.
- experience building and shipping production software in Python, C#, or C++ - Experience designing services or APIs that other engineering teams build on
- Hands-on experience using AI coding tools and LLM APIs in your day-to-day work
- Experience with Azure, containers, and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience building and evaluating LLM applications: tool calling, retrieval, agent frameworks, MCP, and offline eval design for non-deterministic behavior
- Familiarity with industrial automation concepts such as PLC programming, OPC UA, or engineering design tools
- Experience applying secure development practices to features that embed LLMs and agents
- Clear written and verbal communication across engineering, product, and architecture teams
This position is part of a job family. Experience will be the determining factor for position level and compensation
What We Offer:
- Health Insurance including Medical, Dental and Vision
- 401k
- Paid Time off
- Parental and Caregiver Leave
- Flexible Work Schedule where you will work with your manager to enjoy a work schedule that can be flexible with your personal life.

Tips for Your Remote Project Engineer Job Search
Signal your async communication skills upfront
Remote project engineers live and die by written updates, status reports, and documentation. Highlight experience with tools like Asana, Monday.com, Jira, or Confluence in your resume and cover letter. Remote hiring managers scan for candidates who can move work forward without constant check-ins.
Build a portfolio of remote-ready deliverables
Compile project plans, scope documents, risk logs, and status reports from past roles or coursework into a clean document set you can share. Showing finished work product proves you can deliver remotely, which is exactly what distributed engineering teams want to see before extending an offer.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote project engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly. Applying early to well-matched roles increases your visibility before a position fills.
Prepare for remote-first interview formats
Many distributed engineering teams use asynchronous video screens or written case exercises before a live call. Practice explaining a project you managed, including scope changes and stakeholder communication, in under three minutes on camera. Clear, structured answers matter more remotely than they do in person.
Remote Project Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote project engineer job?
Target companies with established distributed teams, such as remote-first construction tech firms, renewable energy developers, and engineering software companies, because they have the workflows and tools to support project engineers who aren't on-site. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear written communication, and comfort with async collaboration tools like project management platforms and digital documentation systems. Demonstrating those skills directly in your application materials gives you a real edge.
Which companies hire remote project engineers?
Companies hiring remote project engineers right now include Lockheed Martin, WSP, and Jobot, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first firms and distributed engineering teams across construction technology, energy, and infrastructure sectors tend to hire project engineers remotely most consistently.
Can you get a remote project engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level project engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to manage tasks and communicate progress independently from day one. Construction tech startups and engineering software companies are more likely to hire early-career candidates remotely. Showing a portfolio of coursework projects, internship deliverables, or self-directed work that demonstrates project coordination and written reporting can open those doors.
Do you need a degree for remote project engineer jobs?
Usually, but remote employers weigh demonstrated project coordination skills and relevant certifications alongside formal credentials. A PMP, CAPM, or an engineering certification can carry real weight when a degree is in a tangential field. Employers focused on remote delivery often care more about your ability to manage scope, timelines, and stakeholder communication than the specific degree on your transcript.
Which industries hire the most remote project engineers?
The sectors hiring the most remote project engineers are Consulting & Professional Services, Staffing & Recruiting, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors have invested in distributed team infrastructure, which makes it practical to run project engineering work across multiple time zones and locations without requiring a fixed job site.
