About this role
<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Conduct investigations of Ship Control & Monitoring Systems (SCMS) and Platform Management Systems (PMS), assessing data accessibility and determining viable integration pathways for each deployment.</li> <li>Interface with SCMS and PMS platforms from major marine vendors using industrial communication protocols including OPC-UA, Modbus TCP/RTU, NMEA 0183, and NMEA 2000 to extract vessel data into ZAEL’s systems.</li> <li>Where SCMS/PMS-level integration is not feasible, investigate the underlying PLC and SCADA layers, or work down to IO cabinets and Local Operating Panels (LOPs) to identify and tap available hardware signals.</li> <li>Develop and maintain integration scripts, data adapters, and configuration files that translate raw vessel signals into structured, ingestion-ready data for ZAEL’s analytics pipeline.</li> <li>Interpret basic wiring diagrams, P&IDs, and electrical schematics to understand system architecture and identify practical signal extraction points.</li> <li>Document each vessel integration, including system maps, signal registers, protocol configurations, and deployment records.</li> <li>Support field commissioning activities during occasional vessel visits, including on-site testing, validation, and hands-on troubleshooting of integrations.</li> <li>Collaborate closely with ZAEL’s software team to communicate integration constraints, data availability, and signal quality, helping shape what is practically achievable for each customer deployment.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Requirement</strong></p> <p> </p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.</li> <li>Foundational understanding of industrial automation systems, including PLC architecture and SCADA concepts demonstrated through coursework, internship experience, or personal projects.</li> <li>Exposure to industrial communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU and/or OPC-UA. Familiarity with maritime protocols (NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000) is an advantage but not required.</li> <li>Basic scripting or programming ability (Python preferred) for configuration tasks and data parsing. Full software development experience is not required.</li> <li>Ability to read and interpret basic electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, or P&IDs with guidance.</li> <li>Strong analytical and investigative mindset, comfortable working with systems that are unfamiliar, and resourceful in finding a way forward.</li> <li>Clear and structured communication skills, with the ability to document technical findings in a way that is useful to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.</li> <li>Exposure to or coursework in maritime systems, marine engineering, or vessel automation is an advantage.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Other Information</strong><br> </p> <ul type="disc"> <li>Location: Jurong East</li> <li>5 days work week</li> <li>Working Hours: 8am-530pm</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
