Power conversion solution - SCADA design engineer

The opportunity:

As a SCADA Engineer for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), your mission is to design, configure, and maintain advanced SCADA solutions that enable secure, efficient, and reliable monitoring and control of BESS operations. You will develop HMI screens and uphold standards across web-based SCADA platforms to ensure seamless remote access and system visibility.

How you'll make an impact:

• Design and configure SCADA systems tailored for BESS applications.

• Develop HMI screens and dashboards for real-time monitoring and control.

• Integrate PLCs, RTUs, and IEDs using protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 61850.

• Implement and maintain web-based SCADA platforms for remote access and control.

• Collaborate with electrical and software engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of SCADA with BESS hardware.

• Lead commissioning activities including functional testing, validation, and troubleshooting of SCADA systems on-site or remotely.

• Implement cybersecurity measures in line with industry standards and best practices.

• Ensure compliance with ISO/IEC standards and regulatory requirements for energy storage systems.

• Set up alarms, trends, and reports for performance monitoring and fault detection.

• Analyze system data to identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements.

• Utilize MicroSCADA tools for system configuration, diagnostics, and performance tuning.

• Stay updated with the latest SCADA technologies and tools relevant to BESS.

• Prepare technical documentation including system architecture, configuration manuals, and user guides.

• Provide training and support to operations and maintenance teams.

• Participate in cross-functional project meetings and contribute to planning and scheduling.
• Coordinate with vendors and clients to ensure timely delivery and quality assurance.

• Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
• Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Control Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Should have 5-10 years of experience in SCADA system design, implementation, and commissioning, specifically within utility-scale solar and BESS generation facilities, substations, or industrial plants.

• Experience with SCADA platforms (e.g., Wonderware, Ignition, Siemens WinCC).

• Understanding of how SCADA interfaces with BMS (Battery Management System), EMS (Energy Management System), inverters, and converters.

• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js for HMI (Human-Machine Interface) development.

• Familiarity with Modbus, OPC UA, DNP3, and IEC 61850 for device communication.

• Experience with MQTT or REST APIs for cloud-based SCADA systems.

• Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases for storing and retrieving SCADA data.

• Understanding of secure communication practices, encryption, and authentication for web-based SCADA systems.
