SCADA Architect

A Snapshot of Your Day As a SCADA Architect, you will be a key contributor to the development of next-generation Control & Protection HVDC and FACTS systems. You will design and implement holistic SCADA and communication architectures, including HMI visualization and communication functionalities, in a technically challenging environment. Your role bridges the gap between system-level concept creation and hands-on engineering, ensuring robust, modular, scalable, and innovative SCADA solutions for critical infrastructure projects. How You'll Make an Impact (Gas Turbine, R& D , India) ▸ Be part of the Operation Level Software Team within the Grid Flow Platform development, with a focus on R&D activities. ▸ Design holistic SCADA system architectures for critical infrastructure HVDC and FACTS platforms, including HMI components, communication gateways, and monitoring functionalities. ▸ Interpret abstract requirements and translate them into system-level requirement and operational concept specifications. ▸ Work hand-in-hand with IT, IT-Security, Communication Network, and Control architects to incorporate Security by Design for innovative, distributed SCADA systems with multiple stations and subunits. ▸ Act as a crucial stakeholder in plant data modelling for device setup and deployment, and in signal management within the data-driven engineering process framework. ▸ Support the full development lifecycle – requirements engineering, concept creation, implementation, testing, and project delivery. ▸ Act as the technical interface between R&D projects, customer project execution teams, and development teams. What You Bring ▸ Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. ▸ Proven experience in complex SCADA system development, involving (but not limited to) Copa Data Zenon, WinCC OA, SICAM SCC (WinCC Classic), IPCOMM Protocol Converter, or comparable platforms. ▸ Strong understanding of communication protocols – IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-101/104, OPC UA, DNP3 – along with data modelling in database structures. ▸ Solid knowledge of network communication protocols (IPv4, TCP/UDP). ▸ Experience in technical project management and cross-functional coordination. ▸ Analytical mindset with a proactive, solution-oriented approach. ▸ Fluent in English. German is an added advantage. Nice to Have ▸ Domain knowledge of HVDC and FACTS station types. ▸ Familiarity with version control (GIT) and CI/CD deployment tooling. ▸ Experience with Linux and Windows operating systems (CLI and GUI).
