Lead Engineer Control System As a Lead Engineer Control System, you will be responsible for project execution activities on Control System design for Hydro Control System COE. You will work autonomously and deliver as directed and under the supervision of the Main Package Engineer (MPE, Control System COE) or the Control System Engineering Manager. Key responsibilities include hardware and software design of hydro control system packages for one or more projects using DCS (own or third‑party solutions). Responsibilities Work on power plant control system design deliverables, networking and cybersecurity solutions involving PLC, IO devices, server configuration and deployment, network architectures, switch configuration and troubleshooting. Install and configure servers, network‑managed switches, routers & firewalls for a power plant control environment (usually Rockwell, Mark VIe control system). Define VLANs and network segmentation. Read processing notice, create Functional Analysis documents and perform SW programming, logics, creation of static and dynamic mimics as per P&ID and standard faceplates using Automation design tools (RS Logix, Studio 5000, FT View, Control ST, Cimplicity, Workstation ST, etc.), HMI configuration, alarm display, simulation testing of software. Perform Soft‑IO configuration for standard communication protocols (Modbus, IEC61850, IEC60870‑104, DNP 3, etc.). Perform interlocking design, wiring principles, testing of control panels at GE Vernova workshop or supplier premises, support FAT, etc. Implement secure design practices in system design and software programming. Perform contract analysis, concept design, reverse engineering, prepare work‑statement document. Document technical data generated for the assigned project. Review supplier documents (IO list, P&ID, Minfex data of partners) and prepare/update IO list. Create supplier technical specification for BTS or BTP DCS solution, coordinate with suppliers & do technical follow‑up. Prepare/update logic programs, HMI mimics views as per P&ID and standard faceplates. Perform design reviews as per plan, record outcomes and track actions till closure. Prepare and update OMM document. Track project schedule and implementation plan. Undertake occasional short‑term travel to customer and supplier premises for technical discussions, design follow‑up, testing, FAT, etc. Perform site survey activities, mapping existing systems and compile design inputs. Prepare de‑commissioning and dismantling needs (manuals) for the system. Deliver training programs to internal and external customers. Work on quality & productivity improvement and cost‑out actions. Perform interface engineering, site support. Develop standards and design practice guides for use in project. Collaborate seamlessly with local and global teams on project execution activities. Qualifications Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation/Control from an accredited college or university. Controls engineering experience in PLC hardware design and software programming. Knowledge of applicable standards and best practices in DCS design, including hardware design, SW logic and user interface (HMI) design, control cubicle design and cybersecurity solutions. Familiarity with global cybersecurity standards such as IEC62443 & NERC‑CIP. Tools expertise: Rockwell Automation/Mark VIe/Siemens/ABB/Emerson etc. based control system tools (RS Logix, Studio 5000, FT View, Control ST, Cimplicity, Workstation ST, SCALA, SICAM). Preferred industry experience in Power, Large EPC, Oil & Gas. Strong English and Portuguese language skills (both oral and written). Desirable Working experience on Rockwell Automation or Mark VIe based control system; similar experience on other rated DCS systems acceptable. Candidate with exposure in cybersecurity domain will be an advantage. Able to manage and resolve conflicts in a fast‑paced project execution environment.
