Overview
AVEVA UOC Lead Engineer Jobs in Doha, Qatar at Schneider Electric
Your Role – Magic happens when you bring great people together! Architecture & Solution Design
- Define end-to-end UOC solution architectures on AVEVA System Platform / Operations Management Interface (OMI): object model design, galaxy topology, redundancy, and multi-site federation.
- Lead the end-to-end design and architecture of AVEVA UOC solutions, including System Platform configuration, Galaxy design, and integration of plug-in applications, analytics, GIS mapping, CCTV, ERP, and engineering data (P&IDs, historians, SCADA).
- Translate business and operational requirements into a scalable UOC architecture, selecting and adapting industry solution templates and content-library components for the relevant vertical (oil & gas, power, mining, water/wastewater, data centers, smart cities, renewables).
- Design the data integration layer across OT and IT sources: PI System and other historians, DCS/SCADA (via OPC UA/DA, MQTT), alarm systems, CMMS, LIMS, and enterprise applications, respecting IEC 62443 zone and conduit models.
- Lead the information design of control room and collaboration environments: KPI hierarchies, role-based displays, and escalation logic grounded in high-performance HMI principles (ISA-101) and abnormal situation management practice.
- Architect deployments for constrained environments: air-gapped and firewalled national oil company sites, DMZ-hosted architectures, and offline installation and patching regimes.
Delivery Leadership
- Lead UOC delivery teams through requirements workshops, design, configuration, FAT/SAT, commissioning, and operational handover.
- Plan and control the technical scope: estimates, work breakdown, design reviews, and quality gates across the project lifecycle.
- Run operator and stakeholder engagement: display design reviews with panel operators, shift supervisors, and integrated operations leadership to ensure adoption, not just installation.
- Coordinate with client OT/IT, cybersecurity, and infrastructure teams on servers, virtualization, networking, and domain integration.
Practice Development & Pre-Sales
- Act as the practice’s UOC technical authority in pre-sales: demonstrations, proof-of-concept builds, solution write-ups, and RFQ/RFP technical responses.
- Codify reusable practice IP: reference architectures, display style guides, object template libraries, integration adapters, and delivery runbooks under the practice document register.
- Work with the practice’s industrial AI engineers to surface analytics and AI outputs (soft sensors, anomaly detection, alarm analytics, AI-generated shift insights) into UOC displays as actionable operator guidance.
- Mentor application engineers toward independent System Platform/OMI delivery capability.
Quality, Security & Governance
- Ensure compliance with client cybersecurity requirements and IEC 62443 across all interfaces between the UOC environment and OT systems.
- Maintain configuration management, backup/recovery strategy, and as-built documentation for all UOC environments.
- Define operational KPIs, alarms, and role-based visualizations that unify data across multiple sites, fleets, or departments into a single command-and-control view.
