Roles & Responsibilities
· Configure Emulate3D virtual commissioning environments and integrate PLC emulation and virtual I/O to validate production behavior
· Create and maintain simulation test automation, reusable test scripts, regression suites, test data, and execution workflows
· Develop and execute normal, boundary, negative, and abnormal-condition test cases for virtual systems, including fault- injection scenarios
· Perform SIL/HIL validation and HMI testing for controls, automation sequences, simulated equipment states, alarms, and system interfaces
· Analyze test results, investigate failures, document defects, support root-cause analysis, and verify corrective actions through retesting
· Prepare validation reports with test evidence, coverage, deviations, open issues, and commissioning or release-readiness recommendations
· Collaborate with controls, automation, software, manufacturing, engineering, IT, plant, supplier, and business teams
· Drive continuous improvement in model fidelity, test coverage, automation efficiency, validation quality, and deployment outcomes
Must Have Skills:
· Strong understanding and hands-on experience in virtual commissioning, emulation, simulation, production behavior validation, Emulate3D, PLC emulation, and virtual I/O
· Experience with SIL/HIL validation and HMI testing for controls, automation sequences, simulated equipment, and process states
· Experience developing simulation test automation, reusable scripts, regression suites, and normal, boundary, negative, and abnormal-condition test cases with fault injection
· Strong test analysis, debugging, troubleshooting, defect documentation, root-cause analysis, corrective-action verification, and validation-reporting skills
· Effective communication and collaboration across controls, automation, software, manufacturing, engineering, IT, plant, supplier, and business teams
Managerial Skills:
· Strong analytical, debugging, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
· Effective communication, cross-functional collaboration, and stakeholder management
· Strong documentation, delivery coordination, corrective-action follow-through, and continuous-improvement mindset
