Engineer II Electrical & Electronics Engineering X

Role Overview

Qualification and Experience

• A B.E. or B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering is required.
• The role requires 7–12 years of relevant experience in protection relay programming, testing, commissioning, and protection or control systems.
• Candidates should have predominant experience with MV switchgear, control and relay panels, and electrical protection systems.

Protection Relay Expertise

• Hands-on experience is required in programming, configuring, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting MV and LV protection relays.
• Relevant relay manufacturers include ABB, Siemens, and Schneider Electric.
• Relevant platforms include ABB Relion, Siemens SIPROTEC, Schneider Easergy/SEPAM, or equivalent.
• Knowledge is required of overcurrent, earth fault, directional, voltage, frequency, transformer, motor, and busbar protection schemes.
• Candidates must interpret single-line, protection, control, and wiring diagrams and protection philosophies.
• Secondary injection, functional, trip, interlock, and end-to-end protection testing experience is required.
• Experience with OMICRON or equivalent relay test equipment is highly preferred.

Testing and Commissioning

• Perform FAT, SAT, commissioning, site testing, troubleshooting, and final validation of MV/LV protection systems.
• Verify relay settings against approved protection coordination studies.
• Prepare and review relay setting files, test procedures, test reports, commissioning reports, and protection documentation.

Communication and Networking

• Practical experience is required with Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP/IP, Profibus, Profinet, IEC 61850, and industrial Ethernet.
• Understanding is required of IEC 61850 IEDs, Station Bus, Process Bus, GOOSE, MMS, and SCL configuration.
• The role covers switches, VLANs, IP addressing, gateways, network redundancy, and basic network diagnostics.
• Troubleshoot communication across relays or IEDs, network infrastructure, PLC/RTU, SCADA, and EPMS systems.

Control and System Architecture

• Integrate protection relays with PLC, RTU, SCADA, EPMS/BMS, and other supervisory control systems.
• Review communication architecture drawings, network topologies, I/O lists, signal lists, communication matrices, and cause-and-effect diagrams.
• Perform end-to-end communication testing for commands, statuses, alarms, trips, measurements, events, and interlocks.
