- Implement and review control narratives, cause & effect matrices, functional design specifications (FDS), and detailed design documentation.
- Configure complex control loops, and sequence logic programs.
- Perform DCS database engineering, HMI/SCADA graphics development, and historian configuration.
- Provide technical oversight of DCS hardware design including I/O architecture, and network topology.
- contribute Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) activities for DCS and SIS equipment.
- Support pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up activities including loop checking and logic validation.
Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) Engineering
- SIS engineering activities, and FAT/SAT
- Review and validate Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS), and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) calculations.
- Perform SIS logic engineering and configuration (Triconex, Hima, ABB Hi-Integrity, Rockwell SIL platforms, or equivalent).
- Develop proof test procedures, and functional safety assessments (FSA).
- Conduct and review SIL verification calculations.
