- Review SLDs, equipment data, protection settings, network parameters, and operating philosophies; analyze study results and prepare engineering reports with recommendations.
- Configure and commission real-time power system applications using live field measurements, equipment status, and operational data.
- Configure and validate State & Load Estimation (SLE), network topology processing, observability, bad-data handling, and online power system analysis.
- Map and validate analog, digital, status, command, and calculated signals from SCADA/DCS/IED/gateway systems and troubleshoot model/data mismatches.
- Model and analyze distribution networks and configure ADMS functions including distribution load flow, state estimation, FLISR, switching analysis, Voltage/VAR Optimization (VVO), and network reconfiguration.
- Support Outage Management System (OMS) configuration, network tracing, outage identification, restoration workflows, and integration with SCADA, GIS, and enterprise systems.
- Engineer and configure power automation and SCADA interfaces, including points/tags, alarms, events, trends, measurements, statuses, commands, and HMI functions.
- Configure and troubleshoot communication using protocols such as IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA/DA, and ICCP/TASE.2.
- Support integration of IEDs, RTUs, PLCs, gateways, managed switches, and control-center interfaces.
- Perform basic IT/OT system and network configuration, including servers/workstations, IP addressing, managed switches, VLANs, remote access, redundancy, and connectivity troubleshooting.
- Prepare FAT/SAT procedures and lead or participate in internal testing, FAT, integration testing, site commissioning, SAT, and functional demonstrations.
- Investigate technical issues, perform root-cause analysis, close test observations and punch points, and support customer acceptance.
- Plan and monitor project engineering activities, schedules, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and technical interfaces.
- Prepare and review FDS, architecture documents, signal lists, interface documents, study reports, test procedures, commissioning records, user manuals, and as-built documentation.
- Coordinate with project management, engineering teams, software teams, vendors, EPC contractors, consultants, and customers.
- Prepare and deliver customer training covering system architecture, power system applications, operational workflows, troubleshooting, and routine system operation.
- Support technical knowledge transfer and mentor junior engineers where required.
