You will work across the full project lifecycle - from early customer discussions to commissioning and long-term system support - while developing strong expertise in modern SCADA and telemetry systems, including GeoSCADA.

Unified Key Responsibilities:


* Deliver engineering support across all project stages - including pre-project analysis, execution, and post-project services - and provide guidance to prospective customers.


* Review customer specifications and collaborate with them to define detailed system, application, and hardware requirements.


* Use P&IDs to design system logic, control strategies, and application flows, and then develop system configurations, control applications, and HMI interfaces.


* Prepare testing procedures and complete project documentation.


* Participate in Factory Acceptance Tests and customer acceptance activities.


* Support on-site system setup, testing, start-up, and commissioning.


* Contribute to project profitability by reducing rework and following Schneider Electric engineering processes and quality standards.


* Continuously develop technical expertise and build strong understanding of Schneider Electric products through collaboration and learning.

SCADA / GeoSCADA Key Responsibilities:


* Configure, test, and troubleshoot SCADA/telemetry systems, including data points, alarms, trends, and field device integrations.


* Develop and maintain GeoSCADA (ClearSCADA) configurations such as database structures, mimics, logic programs, and telemetry drivers.


* Diagnose communication issues between PLCs/RTUs and SCADA servers using protocols such as Modbus, OPC, and DNP3, and optimize overall SCADA system performance and data quality.


* Support system upgrades and assist with migrations from legacy SCADA platforms to GeoSCADA/SE solutions.

Requirements


* Relevant Experience: 1+ years, suitable for fresh graduates.


* Education: Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Automation, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.


* Strong PC literacy with a high level of proficiency in Windows, MS Office, and common engineering tools.


* Experience with at least one CAD tool, along with SQL and AI technologies, is welcomed.


* Ability to read and understand P&IDs, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications.


* Basic knowledge and understanding of PLC and SCADA telemetry software is very welcome.


* Knowledge of industrial protocols and communication standards (OPC, Modbus, Ethernet/IP, etc.) is an advantage.
