Software|Developer

POSITION SUMMARY:

This position is for Software Developer who would be responsible to develop software applications and implement first principle power plant equipment model designs into Ovation creating Digital Twin solution. The person would leverage his power plant expertise, process knowledge, thermodynamic, fluid dynamic, and high-fidelity simulator knowledge to support personnel developing power plant simulators using the Ovation® Digital Twin. The successful candidate will work as part of a global development team.

The simulation environment is integral to the Ovation® distributed control system. These simulators are used for operator training, engineering analysis/design/testing and in the future will be utilized in novel real-time applications as an integrated part of the Ovation® DCS. The models themselves will consist of the differential/algebraic equations that describe the steady-state, transient and startup/cold conditions of the equipment being modeled.

The ideal candidate would have extensive experience with software development methods in simulation, control, or other equivalent engineering applications.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
• * Collaborate with mathematical model designers to integrate plant equipment model designs into the Ovation® environment
• Implement models (equations, structures, architecture) in .NET (C#)
• Fix bugs and add new features to existing models
• Support project engineering teams in debugging software related issues.
• Develop and expand existing product features
• Produce design documents, user documentation etc.
• Build and deliver solutions that meet internal and external stakeholder requirements & customer expectations.
• Provide timely and helpful information to individuals across the organization

EDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE
• * Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, related engineering discipline or equivalent
• 4-7 years experience with atleast 3 years in simulation software development
• Strong experience in related software development

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE:
• * Outstanding .NET development skills and experience
• Knowledge of Physics
• Knowledge of numerical methods for solving differential/algebraic equations
• Knowledge of Microsoft Team Foundation Server or equivalent source code control system
• Excellent English written and verbal skills
• Ability to work as part of a team

Other Advantages:
• * Knowledge of power plants
• Knowledge of control theory and/or power plant control experience
• Experience with development of numerical intensive simulation/engineering/physics applications
