Employment Type: Full Time, Permanent

Role Category: Project Execution - TG

Location: Hyderabad

Reporting: Associate Vice President – BESS

Role Overview

This role owns the communication and SCADA/EMS integration layer within Bondada's in-house Overall System Integrator (OSI) function for BESS projects, ensuring signals and control data flow correctly between the Energy Management System and field-level plant sub-systems (BMS, PCS, RTUs, SAS).

Key Roles & Responsibilities

Technical – Integration Engineering

• Support development and maintenance of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) for sub-system interfaces (BESS-BMSEMS, PCSEMS, RTUEMS, SASEMS).
• Prepare signal lists and I/O mapping covering data points, alarms, and control signals exchanged between sub-systems.
• Support documentation of communication architecture and protocol mapping (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP, DNP3, and OEM-proprietary protocols requiring gateway translation).
• Coordinate with the EMS vendor and OEMs on interface requirements and the EMS-to-field demarcation boundary.

Technical – Testing & Commissioning

• Participate in OEM Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs) to validate communication and control interfaces before dispatch.
• Support pre-integration (bench/simulated) signal testing prior to site deployment.
• Support site-level signal integrity, continuity, and polarity checks prior to energisation.
• Assist in integrated system commissioning and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) execution for the communication/control layer.

Documentation & Coordination

• Maintain the integration risk register and track resolution of interface issues.
• Support preparation of pre-commissioning readiness documentation and as-built integration records.

Qualification & Experience

• B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics & Communication, Instrumentation, or Electronics Engineering.
• 4–5 years of experience in SCADA/EMS integration, control & instrumentation, or plant automation, gained in solar, wind, or conventional power infrastructure projects.
• BESS experience is preferred but not mandatory; candidates with a strong background in solar or wind plant SCADA/EMS systems, RTU/gateway configuration, or substation automation are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Familiarity with at least one industrial communication protocol (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus, or DNP3) gained through prior work, whichever plant type it came from.
