Application Engineer Control Systems (SCADA)

SCADA development Engineer develops Human-Machine Interface (HMI) application software per the contract documents and System Control Narrative using Third-Party software development packages, such as Ignition SCADA (Inductive Automation), VT SCADA, Wonderwares InTouch, Rockwell Softwares RSView, and Intellutions IFIX.

As a SCADA development engineer you demonstrate HMI expertise not limited to; setting up computer system hardware for HMI development, networks, configuring SCADA application software, developing custom reports, and providing HMI training, if necessary.

Develop custom Operational and State Reports per the Owners requirements.

Good communications skills and the ability to work well with global teams are essential. Experience in Water & Wastewater industry will be added advantage.

Receives project requirements and direction through meetings with the Regional or Project Manager and review of the contract documents.

Generates and gathers all required final project documentation.

Provides technical assistance to Customers.

Technical Skills:

P&ID: Ability to read piping & Instrumentation (P&ID) diagrams to utilize them for extrapolatingthe process information on HMIs.

I/O tags: Ability to utilize I/O list to develop HMI tags, including the use of UDTs (User-Defined Types) for Ignition software.

Master Objects: Understanding and ability to create a master-objects to support HMI development.

HMI Development: Experience with graphic development on platforms such as Perspective (Ignition) and Symbols (AVEVA System Platform).

Alarming: Expertise in alarm configuration and management.

Data Logging: Knowledge of approaches for data logging and management.

Trending: Knowledge of methods used for data trending and representation.

Screen Navigation: Understanding of navigation philosophy between different screens and faceplates handled.

Security: Familiarity with implementing user roles, priviledges and security measures in SCADA.

System Optimization: Knowledge of methods used to optimize system performance (memory usage, load times, etc.)

Historical Data Management: Knowledge of methods used for managing historical data and integrating with existing databases.

FAT Procedures: Ability to develop detailed procedures for Factory Acceptance Testing within HMI development.
