Job Description

Summary

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.
Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.

Summary As a Lead Engineer Control System Engineering you will be responsible for delivering high quality product for power plants control system. You will lead and perform hardware and software design of the various hydro Control system packages for multiple projects. This is a cross-functional role needing high levels of technical collaboration and coordination with several process partners and customers. Collaborations include but not limited to interface within Engineering functions, Supply Chain and Customer facing organizations focused on product/ manufacturing readiness, execution and delivery. Executes a robust process of design, creation of standards and its deployment in project execution, optimization of systems, identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs practices and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. Roles and Responsibilities

• Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage engineering solutions for product control and control system technology needs.
• Apply control theory and mathematical modeling to design and control systems with desired behaviors. Includes operability, setting of boundaries, cycle optimization, control logic, control related software, sensors, hardware and software algorithms, and feedback to control the performance of devices, subsystems and systems, interlocking design, wiring principles, etc.
• Have in-depth knowledge of a latest control system design and highly conversant with the latest networking solutions and cybersecurity needs of the OT/IT systems.
• Should have hands-on experience working on PLCs, controller hardware, Server configuration and deployment, network architectures, switch configuration and trouble shooting.
• Should be conversant with latest communication protocols.
• Have application-level knowledge and should have worked on the latest software programming forms like functional blocks and HMI development tools.
• Uses some level of judgment and has ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters but with guidance. Uses prior experience and on-the-job training to solve straightforward tasks.
• With proven interpersonal skills and able to lead small teams on project while also performing as individual contributor on packages. Able to develop talents within teams and provide informal guidance to new team members.
• Should be able to operate independently as a front to the larger engineering community, independently perform Site Survey activities, mapping existing systems and provide design inputs to the team.
• Should be able to define and prepare de-commissioning and dismantling needs (manuals) for the system as well as perform.
• Perform concept design, analyse reverse engineering needs, prepare work-statement document and consolidate it with customer and suppliers, participate in technical clarifications meetings with Customer and Suppliers.
• Perform/support supplier identification actions, analysis and supplier definition, preparation of supplier technical specification, defining RFQ, offer analysis, supplier KOM & follow-ups.
• Illustrate clearly expectations for the supply, manufacturing technical follow, testing of the integrated plant control system, support for FAT and customer coordination.
• Perform interface engineering and management, customer training, Site Support, involve in development of standards and design practice guides as per functional needs and its adherence.
• Perform contract analysis, identification of R&O, analyzing budgets allocation for engineering needs and product cost allocation. Allocation of budgets to activities and its management, tracking and corrective actions
