Extend Your Team. Maintain Momentum. Execute Without Delays
What if your next controls hire arrived fully trained, understood your systems from day one, and had a direct line to some of the most experienced automation specialists in the industry?
This embedded engineering model is an industry-first approach that integrates our expertise directly into your operations. You get a dedicated engineer who functions as a seamless part of your team—not as an outsider. They understand your tech stack, follow your procedures, and are prepared to resolve issues or advance projects, all supported by the full Pigler team.

🧭 How EXPERTFUSION™ Works
We make it easy to find the right person, onboard quickly, and start delivering value immediately—without the delays of traditional hiring.


Identify — Find the Right Fit
We start by understanding your technical environment, staffing challenges, and operational goals. Then, we select an engineer who matches not only their skills and certifications but also their culture, communication style, and project interests.
Many EXPERTFUSION™ engineers are already part of our team and have experience in industries like hydro, biopharma, and industrial gases. If a unique fit is needed, we can leverage our broader network to find the right match.
What this includes:
- Skills and experience align with your platforms (e.g., PCS 7, TIA Portal, Ignition).
- Consideration of location, travel options, and duration
- Selection based on project complexity and communication fit
- Flexibility in structuring the role—whether supporting one facility or coordinating across multiple sites.
