SISO Engineering History

SISO Engineering was founded in 2018 in Houston, Texas by Max Erwin and Kellan McCarthy to provide reliable automation and controls solutions for the power plant industry. What began as a focused effort to bring trustworthy expertise to gas turbine operations has evolved into a full-service engineering controls consultancy and integrator.

Over the years, our team has built a strong reputation for delivering dependable support, advanced control system design, and strategic upgrades. Our expertise spans industry-standard platforms including Mark Vie, ControlST, Machine Edition, and RSLogix. Whether it’s modernizing a control system or troubleshooting complex operational challenges, we provide our clients with a deep understanding of automation systems and a commitment to excellence.

As part of our mission to revolutionize how turbines are controlled and automated, we’ve developed two proprietary services that are reshaping site operations. Snapshot, our subscription-based monitoring platform, provides powerful insight and analysis of site assets to ensure peak performance and early issue detection. SmartWash, our advanced gas turbine cleaning solution, helps facilities maintain efficiency, extend equipment life, and reduce operational costs.

Today, SISO Engineering continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in control systems, automation, and turbine optimization. Backed by a wide breadth of expertise and a forward-thinking mindset, we’re proud to be helping sites operate smarter, cleaner, and more efficiently—one project at a time.
