Project Engineer - OTS Process Modeling

This Position reports to:

Your role and responsibilitiesIn this role, you will have the opportunity to act as a design authority for an engineering discipline with low to medium complexity. Each day, you will complete assignments on small projects or portions of larger projects in a cost-effective manner. You will also showcase your expertise by applying basic design thinking/design for excellence concepts in projects.The work model for the role is: Hybrid

Mission Statement:

To Develop end-to-end Solutions for High Fidelity Operator Training Simulator(HFOTS) including Proposals, Design, Engineering, Process Model Development, Validation Integration with Control Systems (800xA / Symphony Plus)

Main Accountabilities:

• HFOTS PROPOSAL: Interpret RFPs, prepare technical proposals, develop effort estimates BoM, provide commercial inputs, conduct client demonstrations, respond to RFIs, and benchmark against competitors.
• Preparing list of key objectives along with Battery limits / boundaries for the OTS solution being offered.
• HFOTS ENGINEERING MODELLING: Develop steady state dynamic process models using any commercially available process modelling solutions from 3rd party vendors like Aspens HYSYS Dynamics, INDISS Plus (CORYS) or any other proven process model development software. Interpret PIDs, build thermodynamic models, validate models against plant data.
• DCS INTEGRATION: Integrate HFOTS with ABB 800xA Symphony Plus. Configure OPC UA/DA interfaces, I/O mapping, control logic emulation. Support FAT/SAT coordination.
• SCENARIO DESIGN TESTING: Design normal, abnormal emergency training scenarios. Configure Instructor Station, develop Trainee Performance Assessment (TPA) frameworks. Execute Model Acceptance Test (MAT), FAT, SAT. Prepare technical documentation.
• PROJECT EXECUTION: Manage project timelines deliverables, coordinate multi-disciplinary teams, identify technical risks, prepare engineering schedules, maintain documentation. Project travel to ABBs other local division offices customer locations as when needed.

Knowledge, Skills, Experience:

• EXPERIENCE: 8~10 years 3+ HFOTS projects, FAT/SAT leadership, proposal development lead (2+ proposals).
• TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE: Process thermodynamics unit operations with Process Model Development (Aspen HYSYS Dynamics, INDISS Plus CORYS France), OPC UA/DA protocols, ABB 800xA system configuration, PID control, ISA-5.1/IEC 61511
• PROPOSAL/PRE-SALES SKILLS: RFP Interpretations, HFOTS technical proposal writing, effort estimation BoM development, Client facing presentations HFOTS demonstrations, Competitive benchmarking, proposal template development.
• SOFT SKILLS: Clear communication, client stakeholder management, cross-functional collaboration, problem-solving proposal quality focus, mentoring capability.
• KNOWLEDGE SHARING CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT: Evaluate emerging HFOTS tools, mentor engineers, prepare reusable simulation libraries case studies
• INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE: Oil Gas, Petrochemicals, Specialty Chemicals, Power Generation, Pharmaceutical
• EDUCATION: B.E./B. Tech Chemical/Mechanical Engineering (minimum); M.E./M. Tech preferred; Certifications: ABB 800xA/Any Control Systems, Aspen HYSYS, INDISS Plus (Process Engineering / OTS development software)
