Systems Test Engineering Lead

The opportunity

Responsible for Configuration of IED’s used in EHV Substations, Development of HMI’s using vendor specific tools and testing of CRP and SAS of EHV substations (above 132kV Voltage level). Ensure that the Substation Automation Projects delivered by HEIL are configured as per the project requirements and tested, put into service on time, meeting highest HEIL quality and OHS standards. Meet or exceed the customer expectations in testing & configuration of IED in line with project requirements.

How you’ll make an impact

• As a testing and configuration engineer, carrying out the configuration of IED’s, development of HMI’s in line with project requirements and testing of Control and relay panels, Substation automation system delivered and actively contribute in the testing team of Grid Automation Systems.

• Execute the project IED’s configurations and testing safely following all safety standards of HEIL as well as customer. Reports Hazards, Near Misses at working location back to office for records and further improvement.

• Ensure that customer relations are managed in an optimal way. Carryout the Configurations of IED’s and testing the Control, Protection and SAS panels as per the documented process description and checklists. Continuous interactions with testing Lead and expert help to carry out the testing works effectively.

• Report the Configuration and testing project status testing progress & testing plan to testing Lead. Ensure efficient use of the testing assets like Test kits, Tools etc.

• Ensures project information of any project is fully taken from testing lead  and get all IED’s fully configured and tested in line with customer approved drawings and  ready for the project specific testing activities before offering the projects to customer during FAT.

• Handing over the marked-up drawings to engineering for preparing the As-build drawing and onward submission to customer to close the project.

• Handover the final testing backup CD's, Micro SCADA system backup, IET workplace backup and other backup as per the checklist to lead.

• Actively and regularly (Compulsory for every project) provides feedback to Engineering Project Management, manufacturing and quality in way that ensures re-usage of experience. Follow the key process like  Test procedures ,Time sheets and  STAART Metings.

• Ensure the installed base numerical relays are maintained with minimum revisions by continuosly updating the older revisions.

• Ensure the usage of the latest tools and latest software versions during  project IED configurations and testing.

• Continous learning & acquiring expertise in various protection schemes and Automation system to achieve the higher  growth in  ‘learning curve’.
