Job description

Job Description Summary

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centred 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.
The role will work within defined parameters to make decisions, apply concepts to issues of moderate complexity, and resolve issues through immediate action or short-term planning. You will be part of a team that defines the network configuration of an HVDC control system as part of a project delivery team.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Configuration of IEC61850 IED’s via vendor specific tools and System Configuration Tools for complete system integration.
• Generation of Substation Configuration description Language (SCL) files for system integration.
• Knowledge of interlocking principles used in substation automation systems and their implementation on IEC61850 IED’s.
• Design, configuration and testing required to deliver on time and within defined budgets the HVDC Control System hardware.
• Testing and debugging of complex IEC61850 communication systems using industry standard tools such as IEDSCout, Wireshark etc.
• Coordinate and interface the HVDC Control System with Balance of Plant equipment and SCADA systems:
  • Define the main IO Lists of the control system
  • Analyze signal interfaces and ensure compatibility with the control system
