- Attend, witness and drive fulfilment of OSE controls validation and templatization efforts as part of FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) workflows across all standard KOP (Kit of Parts), maintaining associated development and version control of AirTrunk’s corresponding Niagara-based OSE modules library
- Constant product evolution via stakeholder feedback, incorporating evolving customer requirements, OSE vendor-specific product deficiencies (performance and operational risks), dev/project teams and controls subcontractors to ensure smooth end-to-end deployment and integration with campus-wide DCS, BMS and EPMS
What you’ll do
- Establish and maintain close working relationship with all OSE vendors’ controls engineers to communicate and align expectations on latest AirTrunk’s Equipment Interfacing requirements (GMS-E)
- Audit and review all embedded controls onboard OSE, including physical design and hardware selection, system architectures, data/point mapping and register lists, power and network failure modes, communications performance/vulnerabilities, equipment controls sequencing and algorithms, LLI and HLI interfacing
- Develop and maintain AirTrunk’s Niagara-based OSE modules library corresponding to each version/generation of equipment including optional accessories or ordering variants
- Develop and formalize AirTrunk’s own standardised Controls OSE, including but not limited to Tridium JACEs and software licences, DCS rack drawers or CMS panels
- Develop symbiotic control system packages such as BESS/Flex load sequencer system for broader AirTrunk technical strategic capabilities
- Develop and review FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) product Cx scripts associated with OSE onboard controls and AT Controls OSE validation and templatization sign-off processes to displace/replace site-based commissioning
- Attend FATs for OSE and take part in system testing and validation
- Optimize Development/Construction Cx scripts to reduce GC commissioning time and cost
- Work closely with Product & Design, Development and Procurement teams to formalize incorporating of AirTrunk Controls OSE including associated scope reduction of design, supply, engineering, and commissioning time/cost of GC
- Work with the Technical Director – Controls & Automation to continuously refine and improve relevant Global Minimum Standards of Engineering (GMS-E) documents to capture lessons-learnt and OSE product optimization
- Work with the Technical Program Manager – Controls & Automation to identify and plan opportunities to replace ageing/end-of-life controls equipment with improved AirTrunk Controls OSE where applicable
What you’ll bring

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene
Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
