Roles & Responsibilities

The Power Systems Solution Designer is responsible for integrating configuring and validating EMS/SCADA solutions for electric utility TSO and ISO customers with a primary focus on end to end solution integration rather than pure product development.

The Solution Designer works with utilities and grid operators to understand functional and integration requirements for EMS SCADA and advanced power system applications such as State Estimation Power Flow Contingency Analysis Automatic Generation Control (AGC) and alarms and calculations.

The role includes configuring and integrating EMS/SCADA applications with field devices telemetry and RTUs front end processors and adjacent enterprise systems.

It requires performing data modelling configuration and interface mapping including measurements controls alarms and topology.

The Solution Designer develops and executes integration and system test plans including regression and performance testing and supports test automation where applicable.

The role involves investigating and resolving defects and integration issues by analyzing logs configuration and protocol traces and participating in deployments commissioning and cutovers sometimes during off hours or on site.

The engineer contributes to technical documentation including designs configuration guides test reports and runbooks and supports continuous improvement of integration methods and standards.
