Sr Advanced Systems Engr

PIC's control systems have components of regulatory and batch control, advanced process control, expert systems, DCS (Distributed Control Systems) Interfacing, training simulators. PIC's work process also involves staging and testing of its products with a dynamic simulator and the programming of same. PIC is involved in the production and development of many different control systems that are sold to external customers. Each member of the Software Group has the responsibility for ongoing development of existing products and the support of the Project Engineering and Service Groups. Additionally, the development of control systems for new UOP processes are regularly undertaken by the group. The PIC department is accountable for the production and development of custom control systems based on PLCs and PCs that are sold to external customers.
Key Responsibilities
Execution of programming tasks for assigned projects, within budgeted hours and schedule at required level of quality
Provide recommendations for improving software/programs, service support and testing activities to improve the competitiveness of UOP PIC products
Support maintenance and development of systems (ISO-9001) and resources (coaching & training) so that PIC area can effectively transfer technology to the marketplace in a manner that maximizes value to UOP and to our customers
Identifying and executing opportunities for continuous work process and productivity improvements, for optimization of project deliverables by maximizing efficiency through better methods, masters, systems, and tools; minimizing the costs
Configuring/networking PCs, Virtual Machines (VMs) and control system hardware to allow simulation, integration, testing and/or troubleshooting of hardware and/or software
Regular reporting on the status of assigned projects and tasks
Typical tasks would be:
Customizing and/or developing software architecture, logic (coding in multiple languages), and operator interface applications
Support and/or perform integration, testing, verification, and validation
Converting functional specifications or process control ideas to software
Creating/improving master programs Feature Definition
