Role Accountabilities

The Intern will work in one or more of the following areas :

Software Control & HMI :

• Gather pertinent information from authorized sources to assess project requirements as related to assigned scope of work
• Create and document industrial controller and / or computer based software modules to meet control functionality and work progress targets, as directed, at prescribed engineering checkpoints
• Create and animate Human Machine Interface (HMI) software to meet control functionality and work progress targets, as directed, at prescribed engineering checkpoints
• Conduct simulation to verify industrial controller and / or computer software modules satisfy design and project requirements, as directed
• Conduct simulation to verify the HMI software satisfies design and project requirements, as directed
• Recommend improvements to test procedures to better identify where software does not meet all project requirements for assigned scope of work

–  Provide input regarding software engineering standards to improve productivity, increase quality, and reduce cost

–  Control document revision, distribution, and archiving within area of responsibility using established project document control procedures

Hardware Control :

–  Create electrical drawings that accurately reflect each project’s electrical circuits, AC and DC drives, power distribution, PC / PLC and associated I / O, and other operator and miscellaneous control equipment, as directed, using approved commercially available CAD software packages

–  Create AC and DC control power distribution drawings, relay, network and sensor interface drawings, as directed, for each project using approved commercially available CAD software packages

–  Produce mechanical panel layout drawings based on bills of material and wiring diagrams, complying with USA or appropriate international codes and standards guidelines

–  Develop other project documentation, such as enclosure outline mechanical drawings and spare parts lists, in accordance with design standards and project requirements

–  Edit project drawings to reflect preliminary, manufacturing, as shipped, and final “As-Installed” configurations

–  Update the project drawings as needed in support of site commissioning activities

–  Control document revision, distribution, and archiving within area of responsibility using established project document control procedures

–  Create and maintain standard drawing templates for various circuits and / or projects to help bring consistency in elementary drawings between projects, improve accuracy and turnaround time

–  Provide input regarding hardware engineering standards to improve productivity, increase quality, and reduce cost

Process Automation :

− Gather pertinent information from authorized sources to assess project requirements as related to assigned scope of work

− Identify and define interfaces to other software modules and functions

− Write software modules to satisfy project requirements

− Collaborate with project team to ensure inter-operation of software modules into overall project

− Design and conduct simulation to verify the software modules satisfy project requirements

− Collaborate with peers and recommend feasible hardware / software improvements to engineering manager

Process Automation - Models :

–  Develop algorithms and transfer functions that define the electro-mechanical operation of industrial machinery, primarily metal rolling mills

–  Verify these algorithms and transfer functions using computer simulation of mechanical processes and / or analysis of empirical data from operating machinery

–  Use verified mathematical algorithms and transfer functions to design and implement software which generates control system setup and operating parameters that enable advanced automatic computer-based control of industrial machinery

–  Collaborate with project engineering team to ensure inter-operation of software modules into overall project

–  Conduct and / or support simulation to verify satisfy project requirements

–  Conduct and / or support simulation to verify the Human Machine Interface satisfies project requirements
