ConsultingAutomotive
Responsibilities
Must be organized, technically competent, have effective oral and written communications, experienced in working in a multi-disciplined environment and interfacing with engineers, designers, and drafters
Responsible for system design from blank sheet of paper to create concept of electrical/control/system components based on project requirements
Provide input, and system modification as needed, for system integration with other project disciplines
Able to interface with facility design to optimize panel location minimizing voltage drop and designing a more efficient system hardware layout
Manage vendor scope to verify safety, functionality, and all contract requirements are satisfied
Ensures design complies with any local or government agency design/implementation codes in addition to client codes/standards
Knowledge of analyzing system design for Hazard analysis development and mitigation
Design and analysis for safety critical parts within a control system
Designing redundant mitigations in system to increase safety and reliability
Designing systems with complex motion and integration from automated systems
Develops documents of system configuration and design. Documents include Description of operation, Detailed control system design description, panel assembly drawings and schematics, termination drawings, network layout, system implementation/acceptance test plans, system routine maintenance/job plans
Able to perform the following system design calculations/analysis: Short circuit protection, harmonics, noise reduction / cancellation, power consumption, load flow, short circuit protection, protective relay / circuit design, ground fault monitoring, safety system implementation (SIL/PL rating knowledge is preferred)
Designs, develops, and implements DCS/PLC control system (logic software) to meet process requirements. As well as the ability to understand and implement client design standards for software system
Understanding of control system components and instrumentation to properly design software interface/control to achieve system functionality
Develops documents detailing control/software configuration and design. Documents include: Theory/Description of operation, Detailed control system design description, Software design plan, Detailed software implementation/description, system implementation/acceptance test plans
Knowledge of design, troubleshooting, and code implementation for the following programming languages: Ladder logic (required), C++ (preferred), visual basic (preferred), and structured text (required)
Ability to perform processor loading calculations, scan time analysis, input/output response timing analysis, control system network delays analysis, and program task/code block priorities/timing management/interface
Can design code that is efficient (not processor resource heavy) while maintaining a minimalist implementation to help facility future modifications and understanding by client post turnover. This includes providing any documentation and/or tools that will assist with program understanding and troubleshooting
Ability to diagnose control system issues during troubleshooting to assist in determining root cause (trending, system analysis, test logic, etc.)
Ability to minimize secondary faults from occurring within logic by programming “smart” diagnostics that can determine root cause and minimize further effects caused by initial fault
Will assist with initial start-up and debug integrated systems and the development of system documentation
Individual will be working on automation and control system integration projects for clients in industries such as entertainment and manufacturing
Will act as technical lead on projects and may guide lower level engineers, technicians, and contractors
Knowledge of ride system design for attractions involving guests is preferred
Capable of working “off” shifts as needed during installation/commissioning to support project
