The Opportunity
You will be a part of the Energy Storage & Automation Engineering team and support the engineering, design, development, testing, and commissioning of SCADA systems for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Automation projects. Your work will primarily involve developing SCADA architecture, HMI/graphical screens, communication interfaces, databases, and remote monitoring solutions using industry-standard tools such as Ignition SCADA, MicroSCADA, and PostgreSQL.

You will be an individual contributor responsible for delivering engineering activities based on project requirements while coordinating closely with cross-functional teams including Control & Protection, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Project Management, and Commissioning teams. In the absence of your Lead Engineer, you may be required to interact directly with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders to resolve technical queries and ensure successful project execution.

The role offers the prospect to work on advanced energy automation solutions, integrating Battery Management Systems (BMS),



Energy Management Systems (EMS), Inverters, Protection IEDs, PLCs, RTUs, and cloud-based monitoring applications for utility-scale projects.

How You'll Make An Impact
- Design and develop SCADA systems for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) automation applications.
- 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 suppo
