HOW WILL YOU CONTRIBUTE?

You will report directly to the ICES Head of Unit. You will be the team referent in charge of the ICES’ HIL-lab in projects development. To this end, we are looking for an engineer with practical experience in grid automation.

You will participate in research and development projects, having an essential role in:

• Deploying distributed measurement systems based on smart meters, IED, RTU, PMU, and IoT in general
• Configuring the lab communication networks for distributed controllers, including both internal communications and links with external entities and setups
• Programming control systems, based on networked PLCs, rapid prototyping systems, and microcontrollers based systems
• Leading deployment of energy systems models in real-time simulation systems with HIL (OPAL-RT)
• Developing SCADA systems for automatizing experiments in the lab
• Operating and maintaining power equipment used in experiments, such as power converters, power amplifiers, and power sources
• Developing experimental setups, solutions and systems in projects together other team members
• Participating in preparing reports, deliverables and publications related to the experimental activities carried out in the lab
• Commissioning and starting up the new systems to be integrated in the lab, elaborating adequate operational guidelines
• Keeping the lab data-base and the lab archive well organized and updated
• Collaboration with other departments to ensure proper health and safety measures and protocols in the lab.
