Develop and configure HMI/SCADA screens, dashboards, alarm management, trends, and reporting solutions using Ignition SCADA, MicroSCADA, and Zenon SCADA platforms. Configure and maintain PostgreSQL databases for historian data, alarm logs, event management, and operational reporting. Implement communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, OPC UA, DNP3, IEC 61850, MQTT, and REST APIs. Design and configure web-based SCADA solutions enabling secure remote monitoring and control. Perform SCADA system integration, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and commissioning support activities. Configure alarms, trends, reports, historian functions, user management, and cybersecurity settings. Troubleshoot communication issues, SCADA performance problems, and field device integration challenges. Prepare technical documentation including system design documents, configuration manuals, testing procedures, and user guides. Collaborate effectively with Electrical Engineering, Control Software Development, Cybersecurity, Project Management, and Commissioning teams. Coordinate with customers, vendors, and project stakeholders during project execution. Adhere to applicable codes, practices, QA/QC policies, performance standards, and specifications.
